What albums are you looking forward to in 2014?

[plaskins]

Another track preview from Foster The People's new record has been released too.

Any Temples fans on here? What do you make of the Album? Must be a gimme' for a Glasto appearance, right?

I really like Temples album, probably my favourite album of this year so far. It's fairly consistent throughout, though the title track is the highlight for me.

[suzie sue]

Temples are fantastic, the feel of the music would be a perfect fit for glasto

[rjb94]

Yeah decent album by Temples. Didn't really expect to enjoy it but it's great

Just heard sun structures by temples for the first time

In all seriousness I remember hearing 'Shelter Song' before The Great Escape because they were on the line up and was like 'yeah this sounds pretty good and bright, wears it's influences on it's sleeve but the is enough there to keep it interesting'. However this album is just basically like 'these guys don't have a single original idea do they?' it sounds like music any psych influenced band could've made if I'm totally honest, really dull and predictable. Not bad just outstandingly mediocre, which is a shame because as I said I really enjoyed 'Shelter Song'

Feel exactly the same way - scarily similar actually. I want to like them because Shelter Song was fairly good and those type of acts are usually quite interesting but I'll have to see if they sound any good live; which I've heard they don't particularly.

I'm gonna throw a couple of other new revivalists into this thread. Cheatahs' eponymous album is quite good shoegazy lo-fi; if you like that sort of thing then you'll probably like that. I also enjoyed Skaters' album, got a decent rock sound but it's the sort of thing that'd probably be widely derided as 'indie landfill' so approach with caution. They're not gonna be topping end of year lists but I think they're decent freshman attempts from new acts that you may be able to catch early afternoon at festivals.

Wild Beasts sounded a little disappointing on first listen, given how good Wanderlust is. Edited February 23, 2014 by fightoffyour

[zico martin]

Yeh, Feel is epsecially good, along with Luna and the first 4 tracks.

I was the same after the first (and second) listen, but it really grew on me after than, and I love it now. So don't give up on it.

Can't wait for her album. Been listening to the angel Olsen album and that is fantastic album.

[fightoffyour]

The Faint - Doom Abuse out 8th April

Edited February 25, 2014 by fightoffyour

[AdamWillingham]

The new Wild Beasts is amazing (after a few listens) - Hoping they will be there

I'm lukewarm Bombay's new album - Might see them, won't go out of my way though

Yet to listen to Metronomy's new album, never loved their past stuff, not sure what to make of the single. - Probably won't see

Beck's new one is incredible - Really hoping he will be there, not looking good though

Looking forward to:

• Damon Albarn
• Real Estate
• Wolf Alice (Hopefully)
• Savages (New EP)
• Elbow
• Fleet Foxes (Probably be next year)
• The Black Keys
• Beck (Second 2014 Album)
• Whatever Jack White brings out

[FloorFiller]

Coldplay's new single. So different to what I expected but love it! Wasn't overly excited for their new album but am very interested if it will have this song's vibe all the way through

somebody's been listening to Bon Iver's self titled album

[fightoffyour]

Shit Bon Iver rip off

[Winslow Leach]

Coldplay in 'latching onto sound of whoever they've been listening to lately' shocker.

[suzie sue]

Could they be a backup for prince?

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

somebody's been listening to Bon Iver's self titled album

I think it's more heavily influenced by John Hopkins as he produced it. sounds more like a hopkins track than coldplay.

[zero000]

Aye very heavy bon iver and Jon Hopkins influences, and actually surprisingly good for it. If the hipsters thought it was a new bon iver track they'd be wetting themselves over it.
