1/5/2015 8:36:01 PM

1/5/2015 10:22:12 PM

Radiohead, Tame Impala, Father John Misty, Frank Ocean

1/5/2015 10:23:43 PM

Father John Misty, Decemberists, Dawes, American Aquarium, Steep Canyon Rangers just to name a few.

1/6/2015 8:33:56 AM

sleater-kinney, panda bear, dan deacon, beach house, tame impala, radiohead

probably going to be my favorite albums this year too

1/6/2015 9:38:42 AM

new twin shadow is out in march.

^hadn't heard about a new beach house but that def. jumps to the top of my anticipation list.

1/6/2015 6:18:39 PM

^ it's happening according to stereogum

1/7/2015 12:02:10 PM

Ratatat has apparently stopped dropping acid and are gonna be on the festival circuit this summer. Hopefully that means a new album is on the horizon

1/9/2015 10:09:32 PM

new metz this year too fuck yeah

1/10/2015 5:04:13 PM

The new American Aquarium is good. I just downloaded it this weekend. Distinctly different from their earlier stuff, but very good.

I don't think I like it as much as burn.flicker.die., but I think that has more to do with me being a sad, depressed loser than anything else.

1/12/2015 8:34:55 PM

The Guardian pointed out that a new Kelly Clarkson song sounded like Jimmy Eat World. Skeptical, I listened and they are very right

Looking forward to new Sufjan and new Purity Ring. BTBAM is currently recording as well so that should make it out later this year as well. Looking like a pretty good year though overall. Deafheaven, radiohead, bjork, jeff the brotherhood are just a few others off the top of my head that I am anticipating for this year already.

1/15/2015 2:41:26 PM

^^good album, but it doesn't hold a flame to BFD.

1/15/2015 3:31:43 PM

wow. totally forgot about the new Mew album too. This year could be a monster.

New track is super solid as usual. Great textures and production, good melodies, great drumming. They've got that progressive indie rock on lock down: http://plusminus.mewsite.com/

Their last 3 albums were all AOTY contenders for me but they continue to fly under the radar for some reason.

1/19/2015 8:13:31 AM

the new mark ronson album is pretty cool

1/19/2015 10:05:00 AM

new Decemberists album out today. I'm an unabashed fanboy so i don't care how the reviews are coming in.

1/20/2015 8:29:43 AM

I've never understood the appeal of the Decemberists, so I'll skip that one.

New Belle & Sebastian is fine, but the electro songs like the ones on Third Eye Centre totally take me out of it.

I waited to listen to the S-K record until it was in hand, and it is a killer. I know I'm biased, but it's a really fucking good record. The hooky songs are maybe the catchiest they've ever done.

1/20/2015 6:15:54 PM

I'm releasin 3 joints soon this year :^)

For once all the bands I play in are cool (in my humble opinion)

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

1/20/2015 6:30:08 PM

came to post about s-k. it rules.

1/20/2015 8:52:16 PM

beck is releasing a new record before summer, apparently. supposed to be more "up and energetic and melodic" than morning phase and has high profile collaborators, such as pharrell williams. maybe he'll market this as the follow-up to midnite vultures

1/26/2015 1:40:31 PM

i enjoy the viet cong album, but i was also really into women.

1/26/2015 9:39:14 PM

if what's available on spotify so far is any indication, I think the new mini mansions is gonna be pretty great. so many good hooks. and brian wilson's crazy ass.

2/8/2015 8:48:51 PM

new Lower Dens song is the best thing I've heard this year so far

2/9/2015 12:10:57 PM

^ that's an odd way of spelling sleater-kinney

2/9/2015 1:09:23 PM

The new Natalie Prass that has garnered a lot of local attention here is terrible. It sounds like somebody doing karaoke.

2/9/2015 3:23:16 PM

good to see kanye is still a dumb cunt

2/9/2015 5:36:14 PM

^Can you keep the trending on facebook thanks

Been hearing Saint Motel on XM lately. Glad someone has a band name that starts with "saint".

2/10/2015 5:59:06 PM

new dan deacon is really cool

2/13/2015 10:28:22 AM

The 13th floor elevators are reuniting after 50 years and playing at austin psych fest daamnnnn son

2/13/2015 12:18:21 PM

i love you, honeybear is fantastic. bored in the usa into holy shit is quite the one-two punch.

2/16/2015 8:54:05 PM

not gonna be able to finish it til later, but I'm a few tracks into this Will Butler album and it's goooooooood

3/2/2015 2:58:18 PM

new purity ring album is just ok on first listen. It's first impression on me is not nearly as interesting or engaging as Shrines.

Still some good songs and I will give it an opportunity to grow on me.

[Edited on March 3, 2015 at 8:58 AM. Reason : ]

3/3/2015 8:48:59 AM

front half of the Will Butler album is way better than the back half

it doesn't really flow that well

but that front half is pretty damn great

3/3/2015 11:59:06 AM

picked up an album by Jeff Rosenstock entitled We Cool? and my first listen was pretty favorable. Going to give it a few more spins. definitely a punk album but at times it leans post-hardcore a la bear vs shark and dabbles in indie and power-pop too with hints of weezer maybe.

Also picked up an album by a group called Chumped that is in a similar vein at times, though more of a noisy pop-punk sound in a way. The female vocals are what keep it interesting.

3/4/2015 1:33:14 PM

ill just paste my fb status here because im lazy:

"I may or may not have awoke at 4:30 this morning and, unable to fall back asleep, wasted time on my phone only to discover that the new Sufjan Stevens album had leaked, immediately powered up my laptop to download it (despite already pre-ordering it) and subsequently laid back in bed to listen to it front to back. I may be tired, but I'm not disappointed."

really solid record. on repeat all day so far.

3/7/2015 11:59:47 AM

awww yisssssss

Late to the party on this one but I forgot to mention I picked up Kishi Bashi's Lighght recently and it is a fantastic record.

3/11/2015 11:55:45 AM

^^love it

new Kendrick has a whole lotta funk to it

Thundercat FTW

3/16/2015 12:14:30 PM

the new Kendrick might need to grow on me. A few songs are good, but after a first listen there are a handful that I just skipped before they even ended

3/16/2015 12:58:50 PM

Maybe not as good as his last album, but the Kendrick is solid. There's probably 5 or 6 songs on there that are

3/16/2015 2:27:04 PM

I've heard great things about that. On the surface that is not always my style but I'm willing to give it a shot for sure.

I picked up the latest Swervedriver record this week on a whim. 17 years after their previous album this one fits in with their catalog perfectly but still remains interesting despite the strong roots back to the 90s. They were always a pretty underrated band so it's cool to see them put another record out, especially since it is seriously enjoyable. Additionally, I just found out they are playing Durham on Tuesday so I'm going to swing by and check them out.

3/19/2015 8:25:38 AM

kendrick rulessss

3/19/2015 11:07:12 AM

as dense as the album is, I'm surprised that every review (or attempt at a review), isn't at least 10,000 words long

3/19/2015 5:07:15 PM

enjoying this Tobias Jesso

3/21/2015 10:27:57 AM

been playing the new sufjan on repeat this weekend. love it. this kind of sufjan is way better than age of adz sufjan.
