Out with old, In with the New

New Albums....New Solo Projects

2010

Some of this may be old news for some of you, but I spent the day looking up some info on up and coming Albums/projects that either are out now or are coming out in 2010.  I may post an in depth blog on some new band since I haven't done New Music Sunday for awhile (or daily blogging.  Sorry, My OCD kicked in.  I usually have peaks and troughs of interests in things and currently I'm in a trough with this blog, but I'm hoping with the New Year and an increase in touring bands coming to Madison, I'll be blogging more again.)  So here are some rumors I've picked up on the music blogs. If you hear of any others, let me know. 


New Albums coming out in 2010

Arcade Fire is releasing New Album in May:  PLEASE, PLEASE stop at Sasquatch on your tour.
Hot Chip: February 8th
Beach House: Teen Dream - January 26
The Books: April 2010 - (Nick told me directly, so yeah!!)
Wavves: ?? - Apparently they got some new band members form Jay Reatard's band and will be releasing a
                   new album sometime next year.  They already have a single out called Mickey Mouse.

New Solo Projects

Jón “Jónsi” Þór Birgisson (so beautiful) lead singer from Sigur Ros just released a song from his solo project: boy lilikoi:  Again, PLEASE, PLEASE come to Sasquatch this year.

Joe Goddard of Hot Chip just released a solo album last month.  Here's a song from that: Lemon and Lime.

That's it.  Keep your eyes peeled for BBC's list of upcoming artists for 2010 coming out tomorrow. I know I will and hopefully have some great new artists to blog about.
