Danny Brown definitely has something coming sooner than later. Likely before his birthday in March.
 
Stereogum's 2022 release calendar 📅
How many years in a row has sky ferreira been on this list lol
 
Announced: I already preordered the new Spoon and Beach House albums, and there’s a big chance I’ll also end up with the new FJM album (gotta hear some of the singles first, though).

Not announced but expected: both Belle & Sebastian and Ladytron are currently working on new albums, which will likely come out this year. There’s a [checks notes] 100% chance I’ll be getting both of those.

Anticipated: I’d love to get a new Grimes album. Hopefully she’s still into making music.

I wouldn't mind some new Ladytron! That or another solo album from Helen Marnie. Here 2017 album was 🔥
 
So far i only have mitski pre-ordered. But ill absolutely pre-order FJM when he announces his album. Highly anticipating Wet Leg and BCNR but not sure if I wanna own em yet.

Excited to see what kendrick, Caroline Polachek and rina Sawayama have in store for this year!

And even though she hasn't said anything im a while, I could really go for some new music by Natalie Prass!
 
My most anticipated (and preordered):
Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio - Cold as Weis
Aoife O’Donovan - Age of Apathy
Punch Brothers - Hell on Church St
Hurray for the Riff Raff - Life on Earth
Amos Lee - Dreamland
