2020 New Music

[dentalplan]

Will Frank Ocean release a decade-defining new album which is essentially an audio capture of him building a cuckoo clock?

Will Grimes release an album which flops on Earth but is a hit in other galaxies?

Will Royal Blood come back from the desert having found ‘the new sound’?

Will Weezer totally embarrass themselves when we all thought they had no shame left?

All to be revealed and more in... the 2020 New Music thread!

While we wait for new music - what is everyone looking forward to/hopeful of this year?

[SomeoneListeningIn]

Kendrick.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Would be nice to hear what Liam Howlett has been working on 

[JSmurphy]

Looking forward to Protomartyr's new album.

[lessthanwill1]

A new Phoebe Bridgers album would be nice! 

[The Spandex Warrior]

There's a few artists I think are due a new album, partly due to how long it has been since their last one but also because I selfishly really want to hear their new stuff:

• Nick Mulvey
• Goldfrapp
• LCD Soundsystem
• London Grammar
• The War on Drugs
• TV Girl
• Public Service Broadcasting
• Future Islands

Fingers crossed for at least a few of the above... Anyone know if any are likely?

The third album from Idles could go off. Expecting Parquet Courts and hoping Arcade Fire are gonna be up to something too.

I was going to mention that; new IDLES album later in the year could be huge. Biffy Clyro have a new album due too, which apparently goes back mode to their original sound.

Hoping for new albums from Young Fathers, The War on Drugs, Everything Everything, Father John Misty, Idles and Confidence Man. I’m really looking forward to hearing Haim’s third album too as all three singles are great.

They say that every album. The last one was apparently inspired by Death Grips.

Yep, that's what's been mooted. Bits of the soundtrack they did (Balance, Not Symmetry) have elements of the 'old' Biffy on it, a couple of songs could have come off Infinity Land, they've said it will be quite heavy as a reaction to doing the acoustic album/tour.

[lessthanwill1]

Georgia's 2nd album is out on 10 Jan. About Work on the Dancefloor and Feel It are both on it so it early AOTY contender! 

Also, Caribou's new one is out 28 Feb.

To be honest I'll settle for Balance, Not Symmetry getting a CD release, I liked the album a lot.

I've got new ones from Green Day, Twin Atlantic and The 1975 all on pre-order for access to various presales, so I'm hoping those are decent.

Smaller scale, hoping for Stand Atlantic and Neck Deep to bring something new out as well.

Buzzing about The Strokes news, the 2 new songs they've played live sound great as well

Praying for a full tour now, circa Autumn next year
