Well, I think I pretty much succeeded at my personal challenge to listen to more albums and get back into music again (even though I broke all the rules I set myself), so I think I might as well carry on this year. So as it’s the first week of January, here’s a list of albums which are coming out this year that I’m looking forward to:
The Big Pink- Future This
Cloud Nothings- Attack on Memory
Nada Surf- The stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy
Islet- Illuminated People
Fionn Regan- 100 Acres of Sycamore
Lana Del Rey- Born To Die
The Twilight Sad- No One Can Ever Know
Of Montreal- Paralyric Stalks
Shearwater- Animal Joy
Sleigh Bells- Reign of Terror
School Of Seven Bells- Ghostory
Lee Ranaldo- Between The times & The Tides
Spiritualized- Sweet Heart Sweet Light
The Shins- Port of Morrow
Regina Spektor- What We Saw From The Cheap Seats
And here are bands that “might” release albums this year (I use might in the loosest way possible):
Amplifier
Atoms For Peace
Bloc Party
Franz Ferdinand
How to Destroy Angels
Pearl Jam
Paramore
Nine Black Alps
Best Coast
Dirty Projectors
Garbage (for really this time!!!! They’ve supposedly been recording!!)
Muse
Phoenix
Sennen
Sigur Ros
U2
Xiu Xiu
Bruce Springsteen
The Joy formidable
The Knife
If any of those release an album I’d be a happy man. I’ll probably start reviews again when The Big Pink album is released in 2 weeks. Might try and branch out with other reviews too. You never know!
