Thanks!

Blondie - album 12 (rumoured to be their last!) due out in the spring.

Lucius - they've been teasing this since their last album dropped so I presume it's coming soon. They released a "surprise" single not long ago so maybe we'll get more of that in the next few months. Fingers crossed for some new European dates after last years tour was cancelled!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cool It Down is great but 8 songs? Come on! I can't help but hope that there's a surprise part 2 type album in the pipeline. There's nothing anywhere to suggest this but that record only made my appetite for new YYY stuff bigger!

Ladyhawke - Again, nothing confirmed but she has recently posted studio related pictures. It seems too soon as she usually has long waits between albums but who knows!

Peaches - She's been working on her "best album yet" since around 2019 lol. Maybe we'll finally get that this year!

LCD Soundsystem - Have been "slowly" working in the studio in-between their mini residencies.

Band of Skulls - Now down to just one original member. They're in the studio as we speak. Hoping for a big rebirth with these guys as their last album sounded a little tired and the acoustic album last year was... a choice. Their recent collaborations with Defcon Lawless have been an interesting new direction. I'd like to see more of that!

Lana Del Rey - Even when the music itself is lacking (last album was so dull) her writing is always incredible. She does seem to be working with some new producers on this album which could shake things up a bit.

Beth Ditto / Gossip - Not sure if she's going solo again or if Gossip have regrouped but Beth was definitely in the studio a lot last year working on something!

MMJ Live Vol. 3 is set to be released sometime in the summer.
Regarding a new studio album- Tom told me that while they had a successful studio session in November, and have more time booked later this month, they are taking their time, with no deadlines to hit or release date planned (yet).

Isbell has one finished already. I hope it rocks a bit more than the last couple.

[ChiefOKONO]

Excellent news!!  Thanks Pineapple!

I agree, I hope Isbell's rocks more too!

Seems The National have something afoot for tomorrow, might be a new single.  Curious to hear what their new album is going to be like.

Also looking forward to The Cure's new album Songs Of A Lost World, with the songs previewed on the recent tour sounding like a return to the Disintegration sound with long epic sad songs.

The Nude Party should have one out soon.

Announced today for 3/10 release.

I just did a youtube to mp3 rip of the new album songs from the tour last year.  They sound great live.  Been forever since 4.13 Dream (oh to hear Underneath The Stars live again), it's time for sure!
