The Shins - Wincing The Night Away
Is this the record to lose the indie kids? Is the album too "safe"? Regardless, this one will make 'em this year's Death Cab.
Bloc Party A Weekend In The City
See above, replace "Death Cab" with "Coldplay."
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Slated for April release, unless Merge gets click-happy again.
Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?
Can someone say best OM ever? Expect this one on '07 year-end lists. Totally amazing.
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Some Loud Thunder
Fridmann's stamp is already evident on the tracks the Clap has "released." Expect it to be another love/hate affair.
Menomena - Friend And Foe
If you aren't paying attention to this Portland trio yet, get involved; this record is fucking stellar.
Courtney Love - How Dirty Girls Come Clean
The live clips we heard have us officially psyched. Even if she is a lunatic.
Ted Leo - Living With The Living: Touch & Go welcomes Mr. Leo.
We've been digging the demos since before SXSW. T&G finally delivers the goods in March.
Marrdest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
After the sweep of Johnny-infused gigs, there still wasn't clear consensus on the Modest upgrade. But seriously, how could Marr be anything but awesome?
!!! - Myth Takes
We've just started listening to this one. Safe to say "Heart Of Hearts" is gonna be a go-to track in hipster DJ sets from the LES to London.
Apostle Of Hustle - National Anthem Of Nowhere
Andrew Whiteman's second full-length with Apostle sounds great so far.
Air - Pocket Symphony
Jarvis and Nigel join in the fun, but they had us at "Air."
Scarlett Johansson - Scarlett Sings Tom Waits
Who knew? Scarlett can sorta sing. But we love us some Tom Waits -- and so we're afraid of the end result. Very afraid.
Apples In Stereo - New Magnetic Wonder
Yep Roc puts their muscle behind the Colbert-cameoing R. Schneider's latest.
Radiohead
Counting the days. Track their progress here.
Smashing Pumpkins
Counting the Jimmy Chamberlin MySpace blog posts. Track their progress here.
The Twilight Sad
The EP grabbed us, the live show did one better, and the band says neither hold up to the Peter Criss mixed debut full length, due next March.
Cat Power
Another record of covers, according to Venus. Better to put energies there than in schilling for diamonds.
