My anticipated albums!

Have a date

• Caroline Polachek

Nothing Concrete but most likely coming

• Jessie Ware (got a single last year)

No reason to think it’s coming but I want it

• Gwen Stefani (probably wouldn’t even be good but I like her singles from 2021 and would love to hear a new album)
• Cardi B (has been on a hot streak with singles but seems to refuse to put out this album)
• Car Seat Headrest (been a while since we got new music from them but I do know Will is sick)
• Ashnikko (she was super quiet in 2022 which is weird for her, hope she has something big planned)

Off the top of my head, I'm looking forward to new releases from the Arcs, Gorillaz and Paramore just in the first two months alone.

Also I know I say I want new Death Grips every year, but this is the first time in a while I have confidence it might actually happen.

 

[Joe Mac]

There’s a Boygenius album coming?

Brit Taylor - Kentucky Blue
Dylan Earl - I Saw The Arkansas
Brian Dunne - For Sure Happening
Dale Hollow - For Sure Happening
The National - For Sure Happening
Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit - Very likely

[Corycm]

Katie Pruitt tweeted yesterday that she’s working on a new album right now. Hoping that very likely means a new one in 2023.

 

[jt4527]

I think this next year, I will try and buy at least one new release every month. My end of year list for 2022 is tiny (and mostly CDs) so I need to up my game!

Looking forward to the Ryuichi Sakamoto release, at least.

Ooo, new Nation of Language! Love those guys. Also very interested to hear where Yves Tumor goes next. I really enjoyed his last LP but I think I like the more recent EP even better. That U.S. Girls single is such a banger too. I was lukewarm on the last record after loving the previous, but this is so promising. And nothing more to say about the new Gorillaz other than I've had it on order the moment it was announced.

Totally agree on U.S. Girls. In a Poem is an all time favorite record for me, while Heavy Light was hit or miss sadly. The first single she released last year was fantastic but so was the first single off Heavy Light so I’m cautiously optimistic
