Ottawateeth Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 What new albums are you looking forward to in 2021?

Notwist Sleaford Mods British Sea Power Parquet Courts Spoon Mike Krol The War on Drugs Stephen Malkmus Spiral Stairs Thee Oh Sees Courtney Barnett Andy Shauf Constantines New Pornographers Supergrass or Gaz Coombes Mudhoney Wilco Jeff Tweedy and will 2021 the year that the Wrens finally release a new album?

TCP Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Assuming bands can tour by mid summer - early fall, I think next year is going to be stacked. I imagine there was a bunch of bands who had albums to go in 2020 that sat on them till they can tour the records, plus I imagine a lot of songwriters/bands have a lot of new material after sitting at home for 9 months and counting. Plus everyone who last dropped albums in 2018/2019 and are due for new ones in 2021. I'll think about my list but.... After last night's Courtney Barnett stream, I'm very excited for her next album. The new songs were feeling pretty finished, I have to imagine her next album is basically ready. Do we think Andy Shauf is going to have a new album already??? Please tell me you've heard rumours!

Please tell me you've heard rumours! No rumours. Just speculation. He has a home recording space set up. So, I figure that he would've been working on new material since he was unable to tour.

Yaz Rock Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Ben Kweller's first album since 2012 comes out on New Year's Day (technically it is out already but physical copy is due on NYD). I'm expecting a quiet year otherwise, most all my favorite bands released albums in 2020. Since all those bands couldn't tour behind their new albums, I wonder if they'll wait 'til touring resumes to release any follow-ups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Crowded House - Dreamers Are Waiting due in late March. Very strange to see them having tour dates in early 2021 in Europe & Australia/New Zealand, but I understand why. Neil Finn said that they plan on filming at least one show for promo purposes, if they try to tour the States in late summer like he mentioned during one recent FB Q & A. I can’t see that happening. Definitely a bucket list band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Passenger Sid Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Another Michael, a trio from Philadelphia, just released "New Music and Big Pop". Folky. Breezy. Fresh-sounding. 10 tracks run 35 minutes. Really great to these ears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You got the last one Bootikins? Really like "I Hurtle Back to a Conservative Locker" from that one too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
