my album of the year so far. I'm looking forward to the new Twilight Sad, most anticipated is probably Brand New though. I can't wait to see where they go from here.
it seems they're on the clearing samples stage. I have no idea how long that takes but I'm guessing it could be a long while still. It was nice to see an update on their website though.
Twilight Sad
Mew
Grizzly Bear (because it still hasn't fucking arrived)
Dirty Projectors
and I didn't know Brand New had a brand new one on the way, but I'm now getting wet for that one too.
Kevin Shields has managed to keep the new MBV album incredibly secret, and it's going to be released this year.
That being extremely unlikely, We were promised Jetpacks.
I'm immensely annoyed that their london gig is the day before my last exam.
I came here to say that, every time I read something on their blog about it I get more excited...eeeeeee!
Also Arctic Monkeys, just to see what they've done.
I really like Hyperdub's ambition this year in wanting to drop 6 albums but I'm really not sure they are gona manage it, I mean they will all come out but maybe not this year and they are definatly all highly anticipated. Compilation, King Midas Sound, Darkstar, Ikonika, Kode 9, Burial WOW!
but they have never attempted that many albums at once, I'm well glad the 12"s are coming faster though. Deep Medi are stepping up their game too recently I mean its always been qualiy but they are dropping loads of stuff, brilliant! Planet Mu are doing so much this year too, so many 12"s allready and loads to come plus so many albums, I think I've heard like 4/5 albums from mu already this year.
It has a name? I'd been reading about them working on new material and that it could possibly be out late this year but... A NAME! This is either going to be amazing or the biggest musical disappointment of my life. I'm scared.
Seriously cannot wait for this! Apparently the last song is supposed to be absolutely epic and the best thing Bellamy has every written! Supposed to be released some time in September I heard???
the new stuff is supposed to be less mainstream sounding than BH&R which has increased my expectation levels somewhat. There's been a lot of talk regarding this epic track that's 3 songs in one, something that Bellamy has been working on for years. Could this be the last song you're talking about?
It could fail pretty hard, or it could be teh awesomeness. Alas, I think failing may be more likely. But still.
Also: Joanna Newsom. I don't even know if that's in progress though, or what. I know there were rumours of September..?
The newie from Tortoise is out soon as well, no? And I'd like to hear something new from Cornelius. And what are Boards of Canada up to these days? Lazy sods.
The Twilight Sad for sure!
Good call
Twilight Sad. Any idea when it's out?
Sep 21
I do believe
^ this
Forget the Night Ahead is my most anticipated album for years.
and Octaderon
Wild Beasts
Ah yes, nice one.
it's a goodie..
Deftones
Mew
That new track up on the Myspace made me weak at the knees
^ This
These Four Walls is really great
my album of the year so far. I'm looking forward to the new Twilight Sad, most anticipated is probably Brand New though. I can't wait to see where they go from here.
Not necessarily most anticipated
but I'm really looking forward to Tubelord. Out some time in July I believe.
Deftones, Glassjaw, finch, thrice
oh and me :D
oooooo and brand new of course
and circa survive
Avalanches
when when when when when? I know they'll do a Portishead and release a brilliant record but the wait is getting ridiculous.
Jim O'Rourke also. "Early this year" he said a year ago.
Oh, and I think Joanna Newsom may have a double album coming up if rumours are to be believed.
Not widely anticipated but those are mine.
Glassjaw and The Avalanches, surely?
do we know when gj is going to drop?
Around
the same sort of time that all hell freezes over, I should imagine.
thought as much
regarding The Avalanches
it seems they're on the clearing samples stage. I have no idea how long that takes but I'm guessing it could be a long while still. It was nice to see an update on their website though.
Silkie - City Limits [Deep Medi]
every deep medi release is special but this will be the first ever album on the label and its going to be amazing.
Only one more week until 'Bitte Orca' hits my doormat.
It's gonna be sweet.
album of the year.
In my opinion of course.
Sticking to what is definitely confirmed so far
The Twilight Sad.
Though if Joanna Newsom or Sufjan Stevens were to have a new album out by the end of the year that'd be very welcome.
i am really looking forward to the iconcur album too
but fuckin cant wait til the twilight sad from the twin shitholes of kilsyth and cumbernauld release their new album ....
These
Twilight Sad
Mew
Grizzly Bear (because it still hasn't fucking arrived)
Dirty Projectors
and I didn't know Brand New had a brand new one on the way, but I'm now getting wet for that one too.
For me...
TMV, Mew and Twilight Sad in that order.
for me:
Deftones
Glassjaw (this will never happen) (i'm lamely excited about a new Head A Album)
Brand New
Mew
There must be some more, but they're the main ones
oh, and if there really is a new Aphex Twin one, i'd be excited about that
(if it was anything like drukqs) so i don't think that's going to happen
my album, on friday
jazz
RITUAL OF NAMES!
Please get on with it Drew and gang PLEASE!
SECONDED.
As the Roots Undo was far too long ago! It's time this finally saw the light of day!
personally
I'm really excited about the Kong and new Shield Your Eyes records
Shield Your Eyes
good call.
I'm sitting here hoping
Kevin Shields has managed to keep the new MBV album incredibly secret, and it's going to be released this year.
That being extremely unlikely, We were promised Jetpacks.
I'm immensely annoyed that their london gig is the day before my last exam.
I'm very much anticipating the new Autolux album
but I also suspect that I'll be disappointed when it does come out.
Kong
Oceansize, Tubelord
oceansize.
Mars Volta's "pop" record.
Roddy Woomble.
somethinggoodtomakemebelieveinmusicagainandtokeepmetrustingthefactthatbandslikeyoumeatsixwillfuckoffanddie
i quite like You, Me at Six
*runs*
I bought one of their singles on itunes...
Gossip, no less.
For shame.
i listened to the entire album on Spotify last week!
Jamie T
Arctic Monkeys
Very much anticipating
The new Los Campesinos! album
Also interested in new Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan, Circle Takes The Square (yeah, right..like thats ever coming out)
YES to Los Campesinos!
I came here to say that, every time I read something on their blog about it I get more excited...eeeeeee!
Also Arctic Monkeys, just to see what they've done.
that would be ace!
I really like Hyperdub's ambition this year in wanting to drop 6 albums but I'm really not sure they are gona manage it, I mean they will all come out but maybe not this year and they are definatly all highly anticipated. Compilation, King Midas Sound, Darkstar, Ikonika, Kode 9, Burial WOW!
they really have upped their game
but they have never attempted that many albums at once, I'm well glad the 12"s are coming faster though. Deep Medi are stepping up their game too recently I mean its always been qualiy but they are dropping loads of stuff, brilliant! Planet Mu are doing so much this year too, so many 12"s allready and loads to come plus so many albums, I think I've heard like 4/5 albums from mu already this year.
the jammie vex'd remix of starkey is rediculess
so is creatures, Starkey is on Sub FM tonight 12 till 2 I think should be good.
starkey's album from last year is ace
Ephemeral Exibits on planet mu its more of that kind of thing. He is working on another album that I heard was coming out this year too.
oh god yes, we were promised jetpacks
twilight sad, MAYBE. part of me's dreading it
gotta get me the dear reader album
6 day riot
wouldn't mind a new jonquil album, too
Muse- The Resistance
I seriously cannot contain my excitement for this but there is no where close for me to get tickets for their next tour which really annoys me!!!
WAIT!
It has a name? I'd been reading about them working on new material and that it could possibly be out late this year but... A NAME! This is either going to be amazing or the biggest musical disappointment of my life. I'm scared.
Just googled it
it appears you are right. I also found out when the tickets for their European tour go on general sale :D
I know!!!
Seriously cannot wait for this! Apparently the last song is supposed to be absolutely epic and the best thing Bellamy has every written! Supposed to be released some time in September I heard???
I like what I've heard about it

I'm pretty excited about this
went off Muse for a bit, think I grew up a tad, but another seminal album would be a pretty good hustle. I want a bohemian rhapsody-style last track.
MEW!
Converge!
vague interest off the top of my head:
Muse, Klaxons, White Rose Movement
probably
Kong, Maybeshewill and the new Shield Your Eyes record.
Maybeshewill should be ace
the new stuff sounded huge live.
the new yoni wolf masterpiece
and new aphex
golly gosh.
Grizzly Bear... got it but havent listened, foolish (apparently)
next...
Strike Anywhere
Darkstar that's not on vinyl
pretty sure darkstar will be cd and digital aswell as viynl
ususaly are with hyperdub albums they have done before. You can get all of hyperdubs 12"s on digital format too from places like boomkat and itunes.
My Latest Novel up until about a week ago
It's brilliant.
I wanna hear the new Massive Attack
It could fail pretty hard, or it could be teh awesomeness. Alas, I think failing may be more likely. But still.
Also: Joanna Newsom. I don't even know if that's in progress though, or what. I know there were rumours of September..?
The newie from Tortoise is out soon as well, no? And I'd like to hear something new from Cornelius. And what are Boards of Canada up to these days? Lazy sods.
Tortoise is out June 22nd I think
I'm with ye
on Massive Attack, although I'm leaning more towards awesomeness only because I want it to be.
Come on, Oneida
But this thread has reminded me that there are plenty of others. The Fall and Dirty Projectors are another two.
I'm really looking forward to that
Pyramids/Nadja collaboration. I have no idea when it's meant to be coming out though... :-(
Circulatory System - Signal Morning
My god. I've heard the leak and its only made me want it even more. Elephant 6 has still got it
