2015 releases you're looking forward to

ffs listen to sufjan

[kingcrawler]

Oooh lists!

 

1. Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell

2. Florence + the Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful

3. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – Chasing Yesterday

4. Mini Mansions – The Great Pretenders

5. Blur – Magic Whip

6. Laura Marling – Short Movie

7. Modest Mouse – Strangers to Ourselves

8. Peace – Happy People

9. Jamie XX – In Colour

10. Drenge – Undertow

 

The ones below Mini Mansions are quite interchangeable and there's some like The Tallest Man on Earth, Hot Chip, This Is the Kit etc that just miss out. It's not been a vintage year for albums for me so far but Sufjan and Florence's albums being so good makes up for it.

I'll do it when I'm good and ready. And not before!

I've heard a lot of it already, does sound fucking brilliant.

Nice choice with the Susanne Sundfør album. It's an absolute cracker.

[jonodillieono]

Eric Prydz is releasing 3 EPS over the next 3 months and then an album the month after. The first EP came out today and I think it's fantastic

[TomViolence]

1) Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell

2) Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear

3) Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly

4) Courtney Barnett - Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit

6) Blur - The Magic Whip

7) Laura Marling - Short Movie

8. Tobias Jesso Jr. - Goon

I listened to Vulnicura quite a lot (and loved it) when it leaked/came out but haven't returned to it much since so it just misses out in mine. Honourable mentions to Earl Sweatshirt, Jamie XX, Ibeyi, Stornoway and Sleater-Kinney

There's just something about seeing that quote above the #TeamBarry2017 images that makes me smile.  A lot.

[The Placid Casual]

Barry will make 120,000 people at the Pyramid field smile in 2017.

 

All together now, 'You think that I don't even mean, a single word I say...'

[Quark]

Isn't that a Boyzone song?

New Ought record coming in September! Amazing!

Ace news.

Susanne Sundfor is touring too: http://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/192515/9

Tickets are only £10! That's a bargain people! Get your arse down to the show, it's cheaper than watching Jurassic Park 5 revenge of the GM dinosaur.

I just saw that news, the Deaf Inst gig is on the Wednesday of my holiday. Went on the same holiday last year and came back on the Thursday for 65daysofstatic at the cathedral, now I know that a round trip from the Lake District to Manchester is do-able, there's nothing stopping me (nearly ran over a few sheep while driving over the fells at 1am though).

[CHRLY]

Can't think of much that hasn't been said, I really like Rolo Tomassi's latest record, though. BBNG + Ghostface is the bees knees, too.

A few sheep is a worthy sacrifice. It should be a cracker. I'm going to buy a ticket and hope that I've managed to find a job in Manchester by that time. The North is way more fun than the Midlands.

Just listened to the Sufjan Stevens album, great stuff! Never got around to listen to him before. What should I listen to next?
