One thing I like about being an avid devourer of music is anticipating new releases.
Two bands’ efforts I’m really looking forward to that are coming out soon are I Am Kloot and Arcade Fire.
I Am Kloot, for those of you that aren’t in the know, are a delightful three piece from Manchester. They play songs mainly about love.. and disaster. Their latest effort, Sky At Night, is being unleashed unto the world on 5th July. You can get a sneak peak at a few of the tracks by having a look at this excellent video, filmed in Germany last year. 5th July can’t come soon enough.
Arcade Fire’s new album, The Suburbs, will be hot on Sky At Night’s heels at the start of August. As you may have heard, two of their new songs have made it on to the airwaves this week. In contrast to the blog I’ve just linked to, I’m liking what I’m hearing – particularly Month of May. This’ll be an important third album for the Canandian wonders, but I’m confident it’ll meet expectations and be another cracking listen.
Are you looking forward to any upcoming releases? If so, do tell!
New Divine Comedy Album arrived yesterday – most excellent indeed
Coming up – Kylie *cough* and The Coral have a new album in July. Very underated band (from round the corner).
Allegedly – New Alavanches in November (like waiting for Godot!)
Hey Mitch!
I’m not a huge fan of Divine Comedy, but I’m glad Neil Hannon’s outfit have come up trumps for you.
The Coral album will be great – have you heard the two tracks that are available off it? Sounds like a bit of a departure could be in store.

Thought of you Brad!
They’re finally getting the recognition they deserve – about time
