Albums of 2016

[Brett]

About that time again, isn't it? What's on everyone's horizons for the upcoming year?

Things I know for sure are coming next year:

Tortoise - The Catastrophist:



Yndi Halda - Under Summer:



Speculation:

New Explosions in the Sky:



New Avec le Soleil Sortant de sa Bouche: http://www.the-monitors.com/2015/11/18/ ... sa-bouche/ - Refers to recording potentially in April with a tentative fall release.

I know I've been saying for the last four years that new Do Make Say Think is probably on the way, but this time I'm pretty sure it's true.

Oops, knew I was forgetting something in the speculation column.

You mean Deakin's Kickstarter? I don't know what became of it, but I do remember some sort of issue with it. I'm pretty sure he wasn't active in the band at the time, as it was during his several-year sabbatical. Anyway, you're free to fuck the album if you wish, but i just don't see the point.

Top 10 maybe?
Hello Morning
Close Captioned
The Kill
Place/Position
Do You Like Me?
Latest Disgrace
Recap Modotti
Nightshop
Break
Life & Limb

I'd maybe bump Life & Limb for Epic Problem

[Brett]

Fair enough. They're a favorite of mine, so I'm anticipating what's next when they get together. The solo and side project stuff I can usually take or leave, though.

[Strat]

Geez. So many of my favorite bands released incredible albums this year. Not sure what 2016 will hold.

Full disclosure: I strongly dislike Animal Collective, so Deacon's Kickstarter fiasco is just an easy reason for me to bring the hate.

yuh, i hate animal collective too

and i don't know who Deacon is, but if you're talking about Dan Deacon, i hate him too.

excited for the new explosions in the sky

[Mike]

Animal Collective is great and I am excited about a new album

[Mike]

No I think I am right

Deakin is Josh Dibbs, one of Animal Collective's members. He took a break from the band in the late '00s and that's when the Kickstarter debacle occurred.

I'm excited for:

Tegan and Sara
Run The Jewels 3
Amon Amarth
Poliça
Gojira
Kanye West
M83
Rotting Christ

Also, hopefully a new Les Revenants soundtrack from Mogwai.

Sarah Neufeld has announced her second solo album, The Ridge, which is out February 26, this time on Paper Bag Records. Much more pop than her debut, Arcade Fire drummer Jeremy Gara is featured throughout and it sounds as if Colin Stetson puts in a turn on saxophone in the title track:

PJ Harvey and Bowie are definitely things to look forward to. IF Pearl Jam releases something, that would great but I don't really expect it.

Other than that...
