New Bad Religion album at some point
CharliXCX's debut in February

should be a good year!

I'll take that.

Neko Case (just assuming it's next year as it's definitely being recorded but there's no date set yet)

be a Burial LP next year too. Unless he carries on just doing 12s.

Also:

Four Tet
The Knife
Zomby

Sigh...

do we reckon The Knife will finally return? Any news suggesting as much? I'm sure I read something but can't find it.

Ed Harcourt
The National
Frightened Rabbit
Glass Candy
Blanck Mass
Deftones (or is that this year?)
No Age (think I saw a tweet that suggested they're recording)

Aren't we due a new Nick Cave & the Badseeds record? C'mon Nick, quit making heat-numbingly beautiful soundtracks...

is there a date yet?

godspeed..?

Can't wait to hear that. Paper Television was 6 years ago!? http://open.spotify.com/album/1igZYQYZLikVob2CnT4C3Q

Was expecting that November. Is it definitley next year now? Very excited how they follow up their success!

a follow up to Fever Ray is more likely than a Knife lp.

I presumed it would be out in the summer.
would be a shame if it came out in November, didn't make year-end lists, and then the band end up far lower down the festival bills next year than they should be.

Does anyone know if KONG are still alive?

Gold Panda
Sky Larkin
Cheatahs
Luke Abbott
Star Slinger

May as well say it, but not going to happen...

Deerhunter
Atlas Sound (?)
Mount Kimbie
Forest Swords

and it definitely said the album was out next year.

Chvrches
Helen Marnie (her debut album in March 2013)
Boards of Canada (probably)
Primal Scream
Leftfield (the only remaining member is working on their third album)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Goldfrapp
Kraftwerk (probably)
Robyn
The Stone Roses
The Joy Formidable (new album early next year)
Autechre
Delphic
La Roux (this year or next year)
The Good Natured

I assumed that it would be summer too. I think a Jan/Feb release where it should get loads of attention should suit them best too.

I think the bands Virgin signed from France in 1997 have a habit of releasing lp's between Jan and March (Daft Punk, Air, Phoenix, Motorobass/Cassius...). Always assumed it must be the label boss' birthday around then!

DAFT PUNK!

Is this actually happening?

Next month I think. Excited for that one.

...I for one hope that TV On The Radio return to the heavy guitars and ominous moods of the old days and ditch the pop and funk.

The last studio album was released in 2005 (I'm not counting the Tron soundtrack).

On Warp records, looking forward to that after loving North.

Actress, Ghettoville if it dosen't come out this year.

Very curious what that's gonna be like.

or are they not popular around here? I'm excited in any case.
Even more so for Yo La Tengo, due early next year.

it must be next year

on a couple of occasions recently. But I wont hold my breath.

Oh bb, always getting concerned that people don't do things exactly the same way you do. Live and let live, bro.

Their debut was one of the most underrated albums of 2011.

anything new to add to this list?

i really like what I've heard so far.

Yes plz

kanye
sufjan
joanna newsom
deerhunter
arcade fire

I suspect.

Vales' debut
Dillinger Escape Plan apparently have started cooking something up

will never release another album again!

Bright Eyes
Ash
Hold Steady
Jetplane Landing

increasingly coming to realise that Franz Nicolay was the beating heart of the band. They won't release another good album.

asymmetrical lads with the collective taste of a vacuum

*Crosses fingers*

They've never gone 2 years without releasing an album, hoping they stick to this.

Sufjan
Cut Copy
Chvrches
Gaga
Owen Brinley
Guillemots
These New Puritans
Tokyo Police Club (hopefully)

Hoping Owen Pallett also puts out something, he's probably a bit busy with Arcade Fire though.

(or maybe he joined for Separation Sunday) it's all about Craig Finn although his solo album was pretty weak so not sure if he has lost it.

Although I think I might be the only person ever to prefer Heaven is Whenever to Stay Positive. I think it's a stronger album but Stay Positive has some great individual tracks.

at best.
Sadly, there's no real news on the next album - and I'm a fanboy who checks the BoC forum at WATMM every few weeks.

Tegan & Sara
Charli XCX
AlunaGeorge
Black Sabbath
Voivod
Tomahawk

Can't be arsed with the Azealia Banks album anymore. She's faffed about so much over the past year that I've completely lost interested.

http://pitchfork.com/news/48226-new-album-from-the-knife-will-feature-light-asylums-shannon-funchess/

I'm ready to swoon already.
Let's hope.

Zero 7 probably, they started recording start of this year

Sitek is too set in his pop slick ways

then again so have the avalanches etc

still rinse Sports and Red ep, which was a dis recommended record if i remember correctly

solo album from the wildbirds and peacedrums singer albums called blood donation out early next year.

should be good

http://vimeo.com/51198609

Heard it from the man himself, would have been out this year had yo la tengo not booked out studio in Chicago that they use for recording.

best shoegaze record since Loveless. Let's hope for return to form.

Has it been shelved to next year? Or at all?

that they were doing a double album? They updated their official site or something, which they only do when an album is on its way.

Relistened to RTCM in the car the other day. Brutal. Meh to Dear Science and I didn't even bother with the follow up.

.... that John Grant's new album is done and shall be released early next year. I wonder, actually no I fucking hope he can be my album of the year again. I really love his music, he's such a good man.

madgibbs

please please

so should mew

i probably wont like either of them though. New albums by artists i already love always disappoint me. Always.

Had an impact on the band I never really appreciated till he left. Come back Franz!

That said, one mediocre album isn't enough to make me give up on them.

I love Transit Transit just as much as Future Perfect, and if I'm honest, I'm probably more likely to put it on.

The song "Continuous" is really awesome: http://soundcloud.com/automaticwriting/continuous

It sounds like a mix of John Maus and The Knife. I'm looking forward to hear their album.

!

It has to come out nex year... right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT6bgYaw7_8
21st January 2013

if the rest of the album is even half as good as The Mother We Share it'll be a treat.

CharliXCX
Phoenix
Delphic
Foals
Cut Copy
Guillemots
Gaga
Kanye
La Roux
Robyn
Arcade Fire

I'll take some cool Latin American stuff too, for obvious reasons...

Oh and if Daft Punk could hurry the fuck up that'd be great, ta x

One of the most talked abour album of the year will be Disclosure's, of course.

Not going as well as I hoped.

Almanac, their second LP on Captured Tracks - out January 22.

His first record is amazing and the demos he's posted thus far sound really promising.

loved Zeroes QC and the 12" that followed, really looking forward to this.

maybe we could do some sort of Kickstarter campaign to force them to quit whatever jobs are getting in the way of them finishing it?

Autre Ne Veut

Really don't understand the fuss about CHVRCHES, probably just not my kinda thing I guess. I'll most likely be eating my words in 6 months time.

Got a new one for february.

http://pitchfork.com/news/48615-iceage-sign-to-matador-for-new-album/

The Weekenders is one of the best things they've ever done <3

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Hookworms
The Anteloids
Exit Calm
Frightened Rabbit (as mentioned above)
The Fauns
The Joy Formidable (as mentioned above)
Teeth Of The Sea
Two Skies
Still Corners

Hopeful for

The Black Angels
Dead Confederate
Public Service Broadcasting
Eaux
Jesus Deluxe
The Tamborines

Mister Lies - Mowgli

new songs sound massive.

Most anticipated rap debut since that one that came out a couple of months ago. Can't wait to hear the Rustie collabs.

Nothing Arrived is great.

Also, new British Sea Power and Eels.

via Profound Lore

he's got a promise to keep...

Albums of 2013: nick cave, frightened rabbit, primal scream, atoms for peace, British sea power, horrors, savages, Foals, stone roses, and queens of the stone age

Don't totally agree about Heaven is Whenever being any cop though.

http://pitchfork.com/news/48936-the-knife-reveal-album-release-date/

New Album confirmed.
Maybe we need a rolling thread for release news?

Pretty much a given, though people only really care about the singles.

1. Joanna Newsom
2. Arcade Fire
3. Sufjan Stevens
4. British Sea Power
5. Owen Pallett
6. Desaparecidos (it could happen right?)
7. The Joy Formidable
8. Robyn
9. Chvrches
10. Daughter

Stick them up at six.

That Daughter track </3

http://thequietus.com/articles/11028-listen-grouper-vital

Dutch Uncles
Ghost Outfit

and I forgot Factory Floor

The National?
Ulrich Schnauss
Eels
My Bloody Valentine
Boards of Canada?
Radiohead?

I would swap all of these for the chance of Joy Zipper making another record.

...And about bloody time.
Atoms for peace might just blow my mind in a similar way to 'the eraser'... fingers crossed

I love all three of their albums so far so don't mind what direction it goes in.

apart from beyoncé, obvs

:(
