I’ll be back to organize this.

 

Goddamn this Rina Sawayama album might make it on my list, too.

 

What is everyone looking forward to the rest of the year?

 

Phantom Planet, Phoebe, HAIM, The Aces, maybe Foo Fighters, Dixie Chicks

 

Haim, Jessie Ware, Neon Trees, Louis the Child, Glass Animals, Ellie Goulding, The Naked and Famous, Dizzy, Disclosure, Brockhampton, Dominic Fike, Porter Robinson, Lido, Sam Smith

everything comes with the caveat of "if" of course

 

Phoebe Bridgers, Haim, The Killers, Glass Animals, Weezer
not a whole lot left for me :(

 

I think the only things that have been officially announced that I’m looking forward to are The Beth’s, Matt Berninger, Liza Anne, Mansions, and Remo Drive. Then there’s unannounced but rumored/unofficially unannounced stuff like Julien Baker, Japanese Breakfast, Shortly, Lucy Dacus, Illuminati Hotties, Kississippi, and Every Time I Die.

 

There’s always so much new stuff I discover, but def excited for Phoebe Bridgers (which I’ll be listening to within a half hour), The Killers, Amy Shark, & maybe Julien Baker this year?

 

Definitely looking forward to Mansions.

 

Just checked out the House & Home album after seeing it mentioned a couple times here and I really enjoyed it! I can see myself spending a lot of time with that one.

 

I haven't listened to nearly enough of 2020's music, just don't feel like it at the moment.

That said, in no order: Enter Shikari, Freddie Gibbs, RTJ, The Strokes, Violent Soho.

I really need to remember to check out Empty Country

 

Gimmie albums not on here to listen to on the beach today plz

 

Have you listened to the Kenny Mason album? I think it’d be up your alley. I checked it out cause I saw someone say a lot of the melodies reminded them of early Kanye and I’d say they were pretty spot on

 

Nope! I will

 

I think you'll love it

 

Yves Tumor

 

Sweet Whirl - How Much Love
Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - Sideways to New Italy
Boldy James - The Price of Tea in China

 

I like it a lot! Metal Wings grabbed me

 

Shit did I forget Boldy James on mine? I’ll peep the other two

 

Definitely one of my favorites! The stretch from Anti-Gravity to U in a Gang is probably my favorite.
