Anticipated Albums of Early 2015

I just thought I'd share a few albums I was looking forward to listening to that are coming out early in the year. I'll keep this brief and just share a few, though there are a ton of projects that I'm sure to enjoy this year.

Belle and Sebastian- Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance (1/19/2015)

I'm looking forward to the group's new album in about 5 years, and have always been a fan of their sound, which has been getting a lot fuller the past few years.










The Decemberists- What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World (1/20/2015)
I am a huge fan of the Decemberists, but had to say I was a little disappointed with the more poppy direction they took with The King Is Dead. I feel like they tried to over correct after the rock opera The Hazards of Love and watered down their songwriting a bit. I hope this will be a return to form.
















Father John Misty- I Love You, Honeybear (2/9/2015)
I have listened to a fair deal of Josh Tillman's projects, and was pleasantly surprised by his humorous and quirky Father John Misty moniker and the Fear Fun album. I hope he can keep this success going into his follow up record.
















of Montreal- Aureate Gloom (3/3/2015)
Kevin Barnes and company went in a different direction on their last album, Lousy with Sylvianbriar, and it was a direction I liked. Though I am a fan of their funk and dance influenced period, I thought diverging from that gave them some new creative energy, and am very interested to know  which direction they take on this project.

William Basinski- Cascade (3/2015)
William Basinski is a musical genius that mixes ambient music with tape loops to create emotionally crushing moods and beautiful soundscapes. I know this album will be business as usual, and that's all I can hope for.











So, check back in next time and I'll share my opinions on the surprise instrumental album from Death Grips, Fashion Week.
