Best new/most anticipated albums of 2021

The Soup Nazi · 12.20.2020, 09:19 PM

Kinda weird to start this thread without having listed my favorites from 2020 yet, but I felt I hadda do it. Sorry Sev!

- Is This Desire? Demos - PJ Harvey (January 29)

- 1970 - Bob Dylan (February 26). No, it's not a cover of the Stooges song (that would be awesome, by the way); it's the Bob + George Harrison seshs from that year.

MOTHERFUCKER THIS IS THE THIRD TIME

Clearly you have to start the 2022 thread now, so nobody fucks with you

_tunic_ · 12.22.2020, 06:00 AM

Anyway, I wish for a new Silver Mt. Zion album in 2021!! No idea if it will come or if they even still exist, but the world needs a new Silver Mt. Zion album!!

I don’t really care, I mean I’m almost never here.

Anyway, I’m hoping for new Fuck Buttons, new Thought Forms, Kim Gordon, KidKanevil, DJ Koze, Aphex Twin and Portishead (LOLOLOLOL) and, um, so on and so forth.

Obviously new Kendrick would be great. New Frank Ocean, too.

I am hoping for NO new Kanye and that Kanye is absent entirely from the music scene and any and all news cycles for many many years

This would be nice. It has been a minute.

d.sound · 12.22.2020, 08:47 PM

There should be a new SALEM album. The woman in the band isn't on it though.

Well I see you here regularly. Where are you most of the time then?

Y'know what, Kim, Lee and Thurston have done tons of stuff post-Sonic Youth (count not only the "big" releases but all them limited-edishs and shit), so now I want... a Steve album! Songful or abstract or both, but one full album credited to STEVE SHELLEY, boom. (Just don't invite Kozelek nor Oldham to the proceedings, Steve. Sorry.

)

I suggest a covers album, by artists such as:
Scout Niblett
Neil Morgan
Thor Harris

etc etc
(but I wouldn't know any other artists that use vocals and drums or percussion besides the first two)

I think I probably posted once a week at the most for the better part of the year but maybe I’m B.D. Wong.

Severian · 12.23.2020, 09:04 AM

Would enjoy a Steve Shelley album thick with co-conspirators and collaborators. ‘Twould be nice.

Could you explain this George Huang reference?

Skuj · 12.28.2020, 05:39 PM

I wonder if MB fucking V will finally release their next album in 2021.

Now don't laugh (or laugh if you want), but I look forward to the new Tears For Fears.

And while you are still laughing, I want new Billie Eilish.

I said “B.D. Wong” instead of “wrong” … it was a silly thing, a joke if you will

Crap, so far I'm 0 for 2 today.

Incidentally, I haven't kept up with Law & Order: SVU - this year it was announced they were gonna cool it with the superhero cops and tackle police brutality and racism. Has it happened? Does it matter? Is it not cool to worship at the altar of Mariska anymore?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a full episode of that show in my life. They had supercops? That is dumb
