B&C's New Album Release Calendar

[bono_212]

Yes, Danny, this is a great thread.

Here's an addition:

MGMT - MGMT - September 17

October 15th, Dismemberment Plan - Uncanney Valley

 

[bono_212]

New Porcelain Raft album

Album, Permanent Signal out August 20th.

 

[u2popmofo]

Belle and Sebastian - The Third Eye Centre
Rough Trade Records on 26th August / Matador Records (in the US) on 27th August.

 

[gump]

^Yes! I'm excited about this, even though the period it will cover is not nearly as good as Push Barman.

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm disappointed it has a remix of Your Cover's Blown, but not the original song. I guess they want people to buy that EP. I probably should do that. Regardless, looking forward to the compilation.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Texas band Blue October are releasing their new record, Sway, on August 20.

 

[Imperor]

Does the guy's voice still sound like a fart?

 

[Danny Boy]

I tried listening to their last album and it was godawful. The music was terrible, the vocals were terrible, and the lyrics were abysmal. I truly couldn't make it past 3 or 4 songs.

Apparently the whole album was about the dude's divorce but I just couldn't take it.

EDIT: Um, I'll add it to the list.

 

[bono_212]

I used to like them a lot, like 5 years ago.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I tried listening to their last album and it was godawful. The music was terrible, the vocals were terrible, and the lyrics were abysmal. I truly couldn't make it past 3 or 4 songs.

I didn't even make it past the first single from that record. I tried watching the video for it, turned it off halfway through, and never even listened to the album.

But I own all their other stuff (all of which I like save Approaching Normal), and I have a touch of hope that this new one will be some kind of return to form after hearing the lead single, which isn't too bad. I wanted to add it to the list because I do plan to give it at least one listen when it comes out.

 

[Danny Boy]

Tired Pony - The Ghost Of The Mountain - August 19

 

[LemonMelon]

July 30: Earl Sweatshirt - Doris

It's pretty much just this until late August, when shit gets crazy again.

 

[Imperor]

Bout fucking time.

 

[cobl04]

Real hyped for that one. Anyone know who's producing it? He gets a good producer and strays from the fuckwittery of the rest of OF and it could be a classic.

CZARFACE, Acidrap and Run the Jewels my favs so far this year.

 

[LemonMelon]

Pharrell, The Neptunes, BADBADNOTGOOD and Om'mas Keith (Channel Orange) are some names I've seen used in conjunction with Doris. Presumably, Tyler will contribute some production as well, which would be cool.

 

[cobl04]

Fuck yes.

I'd love FlyLo to team up with a rapper for a whole album. Imagine if him and Earl did a collab. 13 tracks a la Between Friends

 

[martha]

Pelican's new one comes out October 15. Forever Becoming.

 

[LemonMelon]

11/11: Lady Gaga - ARTPOP

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Fuck yeah!

Isn't it just one word, though? And in all caps?

ARTPOP.

At least that's how it was first announced, like over a year ago. This fucking thing has taken forever.

 

[LemonMelon]

Correct. Fixed, for DB's convenience.

The album will also have an app:

[UnforgettableLemon]

For the three people who might care:

Gogol Bordello - Pura Vida Conspiracy on July 23

Apparently this was announced months ago. How did I miss this?

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm going to have Start Wearing Purple in my head for the rest of the morning.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

I'm going to have Start Wearing Purple in my head for the rest of the morning.

Result: all your sanity and wits, they will all vanish, I promise.

 

[bono_212]

Ugghhh not that fucking song!

 

[Danny Boy]

[LemonMelon]

October 29: Arcade Fire - Society Is Seriously Some Bullshit These Days, Damn

 

[greenlight7-11]

It looks like the Neil Finn album may not come out until early next year, even though it's essentially finished. I guess the powers that be want more time to promote it or whatever.

 

[IWasBored]

Ugh, Gogol Bordello. I liked their first album initially cos they were like a Ukrainian version of the Pogues and I thought that was cool. But that got very old an very annoying very, very quickly.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

I think that's an extremely reductionist take on GB. Where I could see them being annoying, their music is far, far more eclectic and varied than a Ukrainian Pogues label would suggest.

But grating if you don't feel it, absolutely.

 

[djerdap]

They're the perfect festival band. Mindless entertainment.
