Hopefully get to see them live next year. First two tracks have been great, especially Tower.

Bibio - Untiitled LP10 (his self described sequel to "A Mineral Love ")

New Tstewert is definitely one I'm looking forward to. Plaid will also drop the IDM album of the year, Brothomstates will hopefully return and Boards of Canada will remaster not only Hi Scores, but Twoism as well.

Also, New Le Dom and SDEM pls…

iirc, they completed an album around may/june. my guess is the ol' pressing plant situation causing delays. i just hope the new record is an improvement on their previous effort as i rarely revisit that one.

I believe Mosca has an upcoming EP on ad93. One to watch obviously !

Never one to say an artist shouldn’t try different things or pursue different directions but I hope OPN moves away from the sound of the last couple of albums. At first I was quite keen on them but that didn’t last long and my enthusiasm really disappeared. Maybe a couple more Commissions EPs would be nice, I really like the experimental nature of them. (and wack them up on Spotify or to purchase on iTunes)

kinda agree. he's exhausted the whole r&b shtick for sure, but i'd be down for more tunes in the direction of 'long road home' and 'i don't love me anymore'

also i'd be keen on hearing him explore higher bpms. he touched on some faster shit for garden of delete and it was ace imo.

this

I'll add the upcoming FFT album and hopefully, new music from ZULI !

Yeah I guess a few of the ones I put in Wishful Thinking are more like "happening but no release date yet", like this one and Built to Spill. And I'm with you, hope it's better than the last. TBH both albums under the new name have degraded for me over time. Still love the Viet Song stuff, hoping for a more raw sound this time around but keeping my expectations in check.

Ae "live" set plsssss

MBV

slowdive have been working on an album they confirmed in september 2020 (?) so hoping for that too.

hoping for a new frank ocean album and the second part to the new beach house double album as well as rdj (lol) and new autechre and the upcoming burial stuff

agreed. the viet cong album is indeed the best thing they've done, although i still really like the preoccs s/t. admittedly i'm not huge on a couple tracks, but for the most part it's a ripper.

did you ever listen to the viet cong EP? some really nice tracks on there reminiscent of women

Aye new Fear Ratio always welcome.

And I say it every year.....

KASM03 plz

Yeah, it was the first thing I ever heard from them (prior to the LP being released). I was perusing a friend's Spotify queue for 2014 and it caught my eye. Instant love when I put it on.

Saw them live just after the first LP release too, got a Viet Cong shirt that I'm afraid to wear. 

boc pls

that Del TFH and Kool Keith collab is coming in 2022
