2015 releases you're looking forward to

[dentalplan]

I hear Pitchfork Paris have another name to announce and she certainly has rapport with them. Really stupid but it's the tiniest tiniest hope and I'm trying to be a bit more frugal atm. Gonna skip and hope I can pick up tickets closer to the time when she definitely doesn't do it

 

She is playing Paris the following week though so might be a bit unlikely. Even if you skip this one though, the tour is so small that I'm sure she'll be back in the summer time doing festivals. Hoping so anyway.

[Tuna]

Yeah that's a good point, I didn't even consider that. Blind faith.

I'm going to see Joanna Newsom at the Albert Hall.

ME TOOO!

My cup runneth over, all my dreams have come true!

 

I was literally just walking home thinking about how many of my all-time favourite bands I've seen this year and how I'll always remember it as like THE YEAR for gigs. Seen Modest Mouse, Patti Smith, Bjork, Owen Pallett, Sufjan Stevens, Portishead, Kanye West, Sleater-Kinney all for the first time this year, and it feels like all my Christmases coming in at once. I was thinking that the only big want left on my list of acts I haven't seen are Neil Young and Joanna Newsom, I knew she'd be touring soon, but I assumed spring/summer next year. I feel all overcome now.

I'm so happy! I literally couldn't believe it when i saw she was playing Albert Hall, as you said - dream come true. She'll be incredible.

 

I'm hoping for a few of Ys, as in my opinion it is her masterpiece and one of my favourite albums of all time. I do recognise though that she has a lot of newer stuff as well that she'd probably play, including an exciting new album! There's one thing that I really want though, and that's Emily. I pretty much decided on my last listen of Ys that it's my favourite song ever, i can't even imagine how much of a wreck i'd be seeing it live.

 

One other thing, the ticket order says 'unreserved seating' - that could be interesting in the AH. I'll have to decide whether it'll be better to get as near to the front as possible or get a spot on the balcony.

I'll try to get a decent spot, a 7 or 8 rows from the front, in the middle. I've never been seated in there so it should be good. For me, I think she's got better with every album, she's so unbelievably great that pretty much anything from Ys and Have One On Me will sound incredible live, so I'm not all that uptight with setlist choices. I do think Cosmia and Baby Birch would finish me off, though. I really love Sapokanikan, so I trust that the new tracks are going to be something special. I've pre-ordered the album, but I'm abroad that week and coming back the day of the gig, so this will most likely be the first time I hear most of the new stuff

[kingcrawler]

 

New Chvrches is great, probably the best of the three new songs. I'm hoping this won't be like their debut where I liked all the songs they released before it but only liked 2 or 3 others on the album with the rest being pretty dull.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Bought a Manc ticket for J-New on a whim - it'll definitely be going begging if she announces any more UK dates.

[rzwodezwo]

 

Album is out. Rather boring, sadly

Yeah I completely agree. I had quite high expectations for the album as I thought both No, No, No and Gibraltar were great singles but the rest of the album is a bit underwhelming.

[Mardy]

Really enjoying the HeCTA stuff I've heard. Album out this week. Intrigued to give it a listen.

[Guest]

Come on peeps, has anyone got any recommendations for new electro pop/electronic type stuff? Have not had time to keep up with this thread unfortunately, but would appreciate if some of you more knowledgeable peeps could steer me in the right direction.

 

This site introduced me to some good stuff last year and it was nice to hear something fresh and move away from the groundhog day of Madchester which all my friends have great difficulty in moving away from.

[Mardy]

You want electro-pop? I give you HeCTA..

 

In fact, I give it you just before you asked, but no matter

I can't give you a working link, obviously, but you know, baby steps.

I seen what your post mate but I had absolutely no idea who they were.

Thank you mate, just listening now and my type of stuff.

The Georgia album is pretty good, and definitely falls into that category.

 

Also not new at all, but I've just discovered the Vessles album, Dilate.

 

I'm desperately hoping that Burial is waiting for the nights to draw in before he drops something new, but that might just be me being optimistic!

Well thats my listening sorted for before the match starts later. Thank you mate :-)

Maybe it'll be a Christmas present, like Rival Dealer. Maybe it'll be the best thing he's ever done. Like Rival Dealer.

Loner for me. That song has a hold on me.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Aw man, Rival Dealer, though. Come Down To Us is just...goosebumps.

Burial should be headlining the G.

Where are the the guitars and stuff?

[CaledonianGonzo]

He loaned them to Royal Blood so that they could rewrite the rulebook of rock'n'roll.

I just bought the new EP by Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique, Love Is Free. Sounds like really good, if mental, electro pop.

[iamthehorn]

I'm totally boned up for the new Deerhunter album.  This new single is the clearest they've ever sounded, which is kinda strange territory for them, but also very exciting.

And they did too. They got a Brit Award to prove it!

 

Gave some Burial a whirl. Finding myself going back to it today.
