2021 most anticipated releases

I'd be lying if I didn't say Crowded House - Dreamers are Waiting

Intriguer was a long time ago now, and they are my second favourite rock band. Won't be AOTY or anything, well past their peak, but hoping for something solid.

@auxienOh yes, some new Sendai material would be amazing. Have you listened to Yves de Mey's recent release on Superpang ?

 

Thanks for the tip Nil!

Also I'd like a new Jackson And His Computer Band LP , a good one, the real sequel to smash pls.

And from what I understand this one will be out in early 2021

Just saw that Madlib has a new LP coming January and yeah that might be my most anticipated 2021 release yet

Still holding out for the Qebrus & Tom Middleton collab stuff to maybe one day get released. Who knows.

The lorn album the recent digital EPs have been teased from

Andy Stott

+1 for Demdike Stare

Venetian Snares has been very quiet lately. I would eat up new sounds from him. 

The Future Sound of London - Environment Seven - Been finished for a couple of months, I would imagine it might have gone to manufacture by now so hoping for a spring release. Also the Mind Maps mix from last month's Touched Mixlr show should be getting a release, and there'll no doubt be another album of revisitations for RSD. The Amorphous Androgynous - Listening Beyond the Head Chakra will probably be ok but I'm not mega excited. The Mantra multi-path single is due to follow the album, but from what we've heard I don't like the song.

Biosphere - Angel's Flight (22nd January) 

David Tibet - Ferelith / Fontelautus - first two solo albums, some lathes went out this year I think but wider releases due in 2021.

On a similar note, the new Current 93 album. Was meant to be out this May but for some reason David only releases stuff to coincide with gigs now so this will come out post-pandemic, annoyingly.

Off Land - Excursion.

Paul Draper - Cult Leader Tactics.

Nurse With Wound - Opium Cabaret.

Tears for Fears - New album, been in the works for years, there were plans to release singles this year but fuck knows what happened.

Tangerine Dream - Another Thorsten, Ulrich & Hoshiko album based on unfinished music Edgar left behind is in the works for hopeful release next year.

Carbon Based Lifeforms - They've been posting updates about a new album on Facebook over the past 18 months so I'd imagine that's close to completion by now.

Aphex Twin - C'mon Rich, it's been over six years since Syro. We've had lots of bits and bobs since, but a proper full-length is so, so overdue.

Could speculate all day on what I want and what might get released, but I tend to focus on what's announced. Only a couple electronic ones so far.

Viagra Boys - Welfare Jazz
Shame - Drunk Tank Pink
Goat Girl - On All Fours
MG (Martin Gore) - The Third Chimpanzee EP
Rats on Rafts - Excerpts From Chapter 3: The Mind Runs a Net of Rabbit Paths
Madlib - Sound Ancestors
cEvin Key - X̱wáýx̱way
Black Country, New Road - For the First Time
Mouse on Mars - AAI
Nightshift - Zöe

Ah yes, would love me some fresh Venetian Snares.. .

Aaron pls..

I really enjoyed Golden Traxe but hadn't heard anything from them since. Will need to check out the other stuff.

This.

Varying degrees of likeliness but:

Footwork:
Jana Rush: Pariah was 4 years ago. Last EP was a bit longer.
Jlin. Black Origami was 4 years ago. C'mon....
RP Boo. I'll Tell You What was 3 years ago. Last EP before that, 5 years ago.
Om Unit. imo, this is where Jim shines.

Techno:
Mark Ernestus: All the stuff with Ndagga Rhythm Force was 8 years ago. I know he's not hung it all up and called it a day.
Oscar Mulero. It's been three years since a full length.
Scan X. Most recent release was 4 years ago with Alien Language.

Jungle
Tim Reaper. Need Money for Laptop came out 6 years ago and has been steadily producing EPs and singles since.
Forest Drive West. Jungle Crack was cool.Terminus was even cooler. C'mon.
Would love a full length of Martyn focusing more on his jungle side.

Bass
It's a bit of a long shot, but it would be cool if Batu did a full length.
ANZ. It'd be cool if she did a full length since those mixes of hers are super hard to come by and she's great and getting better all the time. Simo Cell. Yeah he put out that recent thing with Skee Mask but something more substantial would be nice. Ditto for J-Zbel.
Mumdance.... please, man. We love your mixes but give us something more.
Facta. Please?
Distal. Any chance?
More Hebbe!
Maybe another Timedance sampler?
Yak. Orson. NKC. Syz. Please, some hard drum LPs in 2021.
Some full lengths on Pressure Dome maybe?
