Best new/most anticipated albums of 2019
You know what to do.
Or, well, maybe you don’t. This is a multi-purpose thread for talking about what albums you’re looking forward to in 2019 and *also* — when albums come out — letting folks know which ones blew off your balls/ovaries. So far I’m looking forward to the following, in spite of myself: • Flaming Lips have a new album due out called “King’s Mouth” that will be narrated (?) by The Clash’s Mick Jones. ![]() • Whatever the fuck the new Kanye album is called (almost certainly not “Yandhi”) ![]() So... yah. |
is there a thread for the disappointments?

Quick look at the board says no. Make one |

right? :D |

Sure! I’m almost 100-percent sure the Flaming Lips album will be disappointing to this one-time Lip-freak, and I verily want Kanye to shut his fucking hole! So yeah! |
ha ha yes
my latest disappointment is from 2018 so not ready for this yet but bookmarked for future use |

Sounds good. Off to a good start here, folks! 2019 here we come! |
Do reissues count? If yeah, then there's a 25th anniversary edition of R.E.M.'s Monster coming at some point.
|
Quote:
Sure they do. Cool! That’s a great album! What more will it have than the 2000-whatever 2-discer? |
Quote:
It's in the middle of R.E.M.'s 25th anniversary rerelease project, so it'll probably be either a live show or demos. My money would be on demos, because Live at the BBC had a show from the Monster tour on it. Then again, R.E.M. have had an absurd amount of stuff come out, so maybe we'll get another live record. |
Hopefully Uffie and Yelle will release their albums in 2019. They've both already released 4 singles and there are still no release dates or album titles.
|
I hope the new Blackstar album comes out in 2019.
Was supposed to come out in 2018. Probably will never come out or will come out and be terrible but whatever |
Motorpsycho - The Crucible
Release date set for February 15th, 2019 |
like I mentioned a couple of months ago already:
New MONO album Nowhere Now Here will be released in January 2019! Two of the tracks can already be streamed on their bandcamp ![]() Quote:

My wish list so far:

You’re gonna get a lot of those wishes. Let’s see... Deerhunter - (This one’s happening, like, soon... I didn’t care much for the classic rock vibes on their last album... hoping for more noise and weirdness this time around, or an altogether new direction. Nothing against Tom Petty, but I didn’t fall for Deerhunter more than 10 years ago because they sounded like Tom Petty... fell in love because they sounded like the 10th circle of hell) The Dead C - Rare Ravers (oh snap!) Flaming Lips - King’s Mouth (yo!) Grimes - (pretty sure happening; probably not as good as “Visions” though) Health - (this is happening) MONO - (definitely happening) Sade (I think this is happening) Sharon Van Etten - (this one’s happening) Zen Mother — MAN HOW DO YOU KNOW ZEN MOTHER?! I LOVE ZEN MOTHER! I have a friend who’s played with them; turned me onto them a couple years ago. Good fucking shit. |
my wishlist is a lot smaller than that:
1. Silver Mt Zion: their last full length album was already in 2014, so it's way time for a new one. Very curious how it will sound like as over the years their musical style has been changing rather drastically from very very soft to very very loud and I don't think they can get much louder than on their last release. Don't even know if they still exist actually, with both Efrim and Jessica having solo albums out and touring for them 2. anything that Bert Dockx brings out is gold for me! Doesn't matter if it's solo or under the Strand moniker (which is also solo but in Dutch/Flemish language), or with one of his band projects Flying Horseman or Dans Dans. Or his new project Ottla which will apparently be more jazz oriented. There will likely be an Ottla album early next year as he's already scheduled a tour in January/February, and then later on a Flying Horseman album as they have already recorded some new tunes. 3. Oiseaux Tempête: they've been visiting the Hotel 2 Tango studio in Montreal earlier this year to record with Constellation Records artists 4. Neil Young will probably release some more treasures from his archives 5. Mono as stated above, but I wasn't impressed as much as I used to be with the new songs when I heard them live edit/update/addition/whatever: 6. Bill Callahan. It's time for a new album dude. He's got a brand new twitter account but no new album? What's there to tweet about then? |

Shit, yeah. A Silver Mt. Zion (or “THEE Silver Mt. Zion” or just “Silver Mt. Zion” or whatever they were when they left off) used to be one of my top 10 favorite bands. I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t thought about them much in the last couple years, but you’re right: “Fuck off, Get Free...” was really something — and, frankly, a step up from “Kollaps Tradixionales” and a MAJOR improvement over “13 Blues for 13 Moons.” It demanded more of my attention and playtime than any of the last three GY!BE albums. I have no idea what they’re up to as a group now, if anything, but I’d love to see them circle back to the electronic atmospherics and genre-splitting sound of what I believe are their stringest releases — the “Pretty Little Lightning Paw” and “This is Our Punk Rock...” EPs. *Man* that was some unearthly good shit. I’d say “Microphones in the Trees” is like a hypercondensed improvement on everything Radiohead was trying to do at the time, and “More Action! Less Tears!” is as anthemic as any Godspeed track. Miss that iteration of that particular assortment of that larger collective of Canadian post-rockers. |

Kevin Shields claims that they have two albums prepared for next year. So I guess we'll see them in 2030. |
Alright, some of these have already been "anticipated" :) by Moshe. Just giving a few more details, starting with my own SVE post from the 2018 thread:

I believe all of them are happening + new Swans! Zen Mother are amazing. their last (first?) album was so good! |
Quote:
Fuck yeah. I posted about them here when my friend turned me onto them, but I don’t think it got much traction. |
FUCK!!!
New Swans? And Lips? I need to join this thread. |

I didn’t know about any new Swans. I don’t think.
Damn dude. |
Eh. I feel like whatever Gira does with the new version of Swans it'll never be up there with the last three albums. They were all just incredible.
|
Quote:
Yeah, but I actually think “My Father Guided me up a Rope to the Sky” and “The Seer” are better than “To Be Kind” and “The Glowing Man.” So... last FOUR albums. (Yeah, I’m more of a “blue-and-Black-hued” late-period Swans guy than an “orange-and-brown-hued” late-period Swans guy.) |
Quote:
Maybe he'll surprise us. I adore Seer and TBK. GM fell off a bit, I think. My Father Etc was a good "warmup". |
Swans is a band I've never been able to get into. Wasn't there a thread around here about "artists you should like but don't" or summat? Can't find it now. Hmmm...
ETA: I also can't find the thread titled something (vaguely) like "most brutal song you've ever heard"... I had one to add there. Oh well. :) |
