2015 releases you're looking forward to

[Guest]

You say this like it's a surprise.

I thought it got enough "wow, this is actually really good" comments elsewhere for me to put feelers out, see what the consensus is here. And it's not like he hasn't made a massive banger before.

new John Grant in October. Hopefully as good as the last one

He's had a single out with Tracey Thorne. Called 'Disappointment' and was ironically better than I expected. Edited August 31, 2015 by stuartbert two hats

Half way through the (v. long) new Miley Cyrus album and it's mostly really good so far. Credit for that goes largely to The Flaming Lips who co-wrote and produced most of it but yeah, check it out.

Great news, I've always liked MIley Cyrus, been saying for ages she just needs some good songwriters and producers to get off the ground. She's produced a handful of good singles up to this point, but all of her albums up to now have ranged from passable to poor.

[When Jokers Attack]

Destroyer's latest album is very good after two listen, will be playing it all week. Probably until Kurt Vile new one is out!

[FloorFiller]

half way through that new Miley album now and it's bloody brilliant. like LAWN said, she has a slew of great singles but the albums have never really done it, and although this obviously doesn't have the commercial appeal of her previous releases, it's a big step in an (unexpected) great direction. as i said, only half way through thus far, so hope the other half can keep up the quality

Good news, good news indeed.

Is the new Destroyer album any good, then?

a bit more solemn and not as immediate as Kaputt but an absolute blinder of an album none the less. haven't given it nearly as much air time as i should actually

The new Fidlar album is 'available'

It's awesome, 'Bad Habits' is probably my favourite off it. Nice progression from the first album for sure.

[Brave Sir Robin]

A little late to the party but the Mbongwana Star album is superb.  Feels like a mix of bits of some of the best African albums of recent years.

Yeah I totally agree. I prefer it actually. It's a little more mature without being boring or anything, which is pretty much what I needed from it. Stupid Decisions is probably my standout.

[Mardy]

That new Yo La Tengo album is straight out the top drawer. Beautiful

[DomDom1984]

The new Macklemore song. Fuck sake. It's good.

I actually thought it was more immature. I loved their EPs and liked the first album but they seem to have gone from garage-punk with lyrics about drink and drugs to a kind of emo-punk with lyrics that sound like they're lifted from a teenage girl's twitter account. I only got 3 songs in, thought it was terrible.

You switched off after three songs; two of which were singles before the album?

I'd only heard one of the singles and thought it was ok. That first track was shit though.
