It's a little early but there were some announcements in the last couple of days from Animal Collective and Andrew Bird.


Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion (January 2009)

Quote :

"The Satan Fish on Animal Collective's website has spoken!! And, well, it all came out demonic gobbledygook. Nobody at AC home Domino Records is talking either, so we can't translate the Satan Fish's words into plain English just yet. But it seems as if Animal Collective maybe have a new album coming out in January? The maybe follow-up to last year's way rad Strawberry Jam LP and this year's Water Curses EP is maybe called Merriweather Post Pavilion? Just like the Maryland venue? Hey, that's confusing! Also: Paul is dead."

Andrew Bird - Noble Beast (January 27th, 2009)

01 Oh No
02 Masterswarm
03 Fitz and the Dizzyspells
04 Effigy
05 Tenuousness
06 Nomenclature
07 Not a Robot, But a Ghost
08 Anonanimal
09 Natural Disaster
10 Confess
11 Souverian
12 On Ho!

Maybe Detox and King Mathers will finally come out sometime in 09

but I'm not holding my breath

10/8/2008 11:48:29 AM

John Frusciante has a new solo album coming out in January.

10/8/2008 11:49:06 AM

looks like The Appleseed Cast's Sagarmatha is going to be an early 2009 release now instead of a late 2008 release.

Also, I havent particularly liked the last few deftones records, but I buy all of them since "adrenaline" was my first record purchase But they have a new album that still says 2008 but I see it becoming a 2009 release at this point.

mewithoutYou should have a new record this year. They are one of the few bands who, imho, have had each album get successively better. Their last record Brother, Sister was by FAR my favorite album of 2006, however they lost one of their key writing components and so I am very skeptical of them topping Brother, Sister unfortunately, but we'll see.

It is possible for BTBAM to have a new record out late next year. They will be writing the new album this winter so it just depends on studio time and label stuff.

Jimmy Eat World and Muse have both been working on new records from what I have seen, which leaves a possibility for releases from both of them next year.

Isis has a new album slated for release mid 2009 per an interview not long ago.

The Mars Volta has stated they have enough material for a new album (possibly two) as well as multiple solo albums from Omar. They are supposed to be working on them towards the end of 2008.

Thursday is already in the studio working on a new album to be released in Spring 2009.

and oh yea, maybe Called To Arms will finally finish writing their full length and get it out the door in 2009

Steven Wilson solo album.
Its likely that Wintersun - Time will take until 2009 if it ever comes out.

thats all i care about for now

I'm walls1441 and i approved this message.

10/8/2008 12:55:18 PM

The Decemberists - Hazards of Love
supposed to be folksier, toned down from the progginess of The Crane Wife. the tracks are being mixed now, so i'm hoping it leaks before the year is over. going by the strength of the already-leaked Always a Bridesmaid, songs that didn't make the cut for the forthcoming LP, i have high hopes for this.

10/8/2008 3:24:36 PM

Animal Collective!! yessssssssss

10/8/2008 5:44:13 PM

Appleseed Cast + Andrew Bird = good 2009

Coalesce has finished recording their new album and mixing is now underway

12/3/2008 9:11:41 AM

Has anyone heard anything about new albums from Jason Lytle (solo effort from lead singer of Grandaddy) or Midlake?

I thought the Midlake may leak before the end of 2008, and I had heard similar things about Lytle's record, but I have seen no sign of either.

I am also looking forward to the new Andrew Bird --- if you're on his mailing list, some North American tour dates and album release information have already been sent out, although it isn't much.

12/4/2008 2:20:22 AM

pearl jam supposedly has something in the works for 2009

12/4/2008 2:58:19 AM

sorry for the double post, but jason lytle said that the projected release date for his album is april. he also said that they've finished recording it and all.

"All albums by the Beatles (including Past Masters, Volume One and Past Masters, Volume Two) will be released newly remastered sometime in 2009 on CD. The 2009 remasters will replace the infamously poor quality 1987 remasters.Mojo Magazine's Mat Snow was invited to hear 10 remastered tracks from 1968's The White Album and stated that they were "Better even than we'd hoped."

12/4/2008 3:55:56 PM

Are they going to fix the antiquated stereo split?

Because that shit sounds AWFUL especially in a decent-sized room.

Detox will come out when the MOP album does.

The Eminem album has been re-named Relapse

Wow. every one of the albums posted in this thread looks like they were created using that "pick a random picture from flicker and a random phrase from wikipedia" game. I guess now I see why that thread was so amusing.

12/4/2008 7:54:42 PM

I have to agree that I am not a fan of a lot of the album covers, but a lot of the music is good

been waiting so long I'd seriously travel a good bit to see them.

Thank you very much. I cannot fucking wait.

Also, I had heard nothing of a possible Grandaddy/Earlimart split EP. Makes sense, given their relationship, I had yet to hear anything about it.

12/5/2008 2:45:34 PM

I saw a Granddaddy album at Nice Price yesterday.

I didn't buy it.


That would be a rad split, though.

12/5/2008 3:50:51 PM

i won't go so far as to say the two grandaddy shows that i have seen were the best i have seen, but they both made me smile a lot.

Damn, I would have absolutely loved to have seen them on either the Sumday or Sophtware Slump tours.

Unfortunately, I was out of state in law school at the time of Sophtware Slump and shows were having to take a back seat for a while. The Sumday tour coincided with my last semester and then the bar exam, so I was completely fucked.

I didn't think they would break up before I ever had a chance to see them.

12/6/2008 8:23:33 PM

i saw them at bonnaroo and they put on a good show, helped that it was at the smaller tent and you could get really close

12/6/2008 9:02:12 PM

just download the song... it's worth it. it's not like you will get sick of it by the time the album drops

I'm looking forward to the new Lamb Of God and Mastodon albums.

That one (no pun intended) song that mastodon has released so far sounds like a sell out
