I'm feeling really lazy this week. Sigh. New albums are coming out slower this time of year. I think artists and labels are gearing up for 2010, which is really fantastic. Because I know everyone cares a lot about my expectations I'm going to share some of the things I'm looking forward to. I hope you care too.
Xiu Xiu is expected to release their new album in early February on Kill Rock Stars. Dear God, I Hate Myself is the name of the album. I remember their last album being a pleasant surprise. It delved into a slightly more poppy arena than albums such as La Foret, which touched more on post-rock experimentalism, but by no means was it not incredible! I hope that Xiu Xiu continue to push themselves with Dear God, I Hate Myself.
Oh No Ono will have their debut album out in 2010 on Friendly Fire Recordings (North America). This fresh young band just released a single. They have an indie-pop style that incorporates a heartfelt ambience (appropriate to The Leaf Label). I caught their video and fell in love:
Sebastien Tellier purportedly has a new album in the works as well. That means more sick and sexy dance tunes to get rowdy to. Hell yeah.
I'll keep you posted with more news as I find out about it. My best of 2009 list is in the works too. Another year of fantastic music. Nothing to argue about.
