2015 releases you're looking forward to

[The Placid Casual]

What should I listen to next?

[TomViolence]

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

Illinois!

Seven Swans is a corker too though

[TomViolence]

Hype! Hype! Hype!

Watching them in September, this works well.

Completely forgot about those EOTR warm up gigs! I might have to go to the London one.

[Tuna]

For Sufjan: Illinois, Seven Swans, Michigan are yer 3 closest to C&L. Illinois is the best of the three but the other two are still 9+/10 albums. You're gonna have a swell time. Age of Adz is quite different if you fancy branching out.

[CaledonianGonzo]

After the obvious ones, this one probably has the most staying power:

CHEERS GUYS!!!

[Brave Sir Robin]

Loving the new Ezra Furman. Exuberant, but with interesting lyrics. This tune aptly sums up a fair few eFesters over the past week I'd wager:

[Amy Lawn]

Just watched Modest Mouse for the first ever time, they were unbelievable. Seriously, I reached levels of joy and wonderment, it was like going to my first ever gig all over again, that sort of feeling. Thought you all should know.

The Postcard Band - Ice Cream Face is worth a listen.

[Quark]

Surprised that Songhoy Blues doesn't seem to have made it onto anyone's lists on here.  Just me?

No me too! Going to see them in October.

Where?  Missed them at GF (got sidetracked by Marcus Brigstocke's Policy Unit I think) but wouldn't mind catching them

[CaledonianGonzo]

Playing Edinburgh in a fortnight. We missed them for the DL, but wasn't sweating because....soon come.

I find the production on the album a bit glossy and sanitised for my tastes, but hopefully they'll be a bit rawer in the flesh.

Dublin but they're playing all over the place

Hence why they've been promoted as heavily I would argue. Johnny Payola has no time for the Junior Kimbrough type filthy sounding production.

Yeah, probably won't see you there in that case!  Wrong country and all that!  Enjoy...

 

EDIT - they are playing Brighton in Oct though - perfect. Think I shall be there for that one!

Also when it comes to individual songs, I really don't know if I'll hear a more well written song than Depreston by Courtney Barnett all year.

 

Absolutely.

 

My top 11 in reverse alphabetical order because it's midyear and ranking is too hard:

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Multi-Love

Tobias Jesso Jr. - Goon

Tame Impala - Currents

Natalie Prass - Natalie Prass

Girlpool - Before the World Was Big

FFS - FFS

Ezra Furman - Perpetual Motion People

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly

Courtney Barnett - Sometime I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit

Chastity Belt - Time to Go Home

All We Are - All We Are

 

I'm speakerless at the moment but I'll have a listen through some of these lists when I get a chance.

The Chastity Belt album was one of the ones that didn't make my list, but I do really like it. Not listened to the new Tame Impala in full yet but I love the songs they've released so far.

 

None of them touch Depreston, mind.

[FloorFiller]

so both Beach House - Depression Cherry and Destroyer - Poison Season have leaked which is just lovely (especially as they're both not due until the end of August). two of my most looked forward to releases so can't wait to give them both a listen

[Mr November]

Never been a big fan, but the new Tame Impala record is great.

[The Placid Casual]

Something to listen to later on. Fantastic band.

I echo about Tame Impala, listened to new one today and it is quality.

Nailed on for G next year you would think
