The Winter of Mixed Drinks will be released on March 9thĪfter the success of 2007 release ‘Oracular Spectacular’ with singles such as ‘Kids’ and ‘Time to Pretend’ being hugely popular, their latest effort is surely to be one of the year’s most highly anticipated albums as fans look forward to more of their psychedelic indie.Ĭongratulations will be released on April 13th The indie band from the Scottish borders have seen huge success in the past year especially in Edinburgh and for many the suspense of their latest release is becoming all a bit too much. Popular Music will be released on February 23rd on Steve Aoki’s DIM MAK Labelįrightened Rabbit – The Winter of Mixed Drinks One dance album definitely to look forward to in 2010. We have already seen the likes of ‘Drone’ the first single of the album released last year and more recently the album’s title track ‘Popular Music’ and after the huge success of ‘Skeleton’ released in May last year which sadly won’t be on the album we can only expect amazing things from the electro dj. The modular music duo of guitarist Mike Stroud and multi-instrumentalist Evan Mast are set to release their latest LP at some point this year although it hasn’t been disclosed but I am sure whatever they throw our way it will be very good. Scratch My Back was released on February 15th
It’s been almost a decade since rock legend Peter Gabriel has released anything and this album consisting of covers of old and modern artists sung by Gabriel with the aid of an orchestral accompaniment arranged by John Metcalfe shows he still has what it takes to produce excellent music Heligoland shows a Massive Attack back on form with good driving bass lines, plenty of brass and some excellent guest vocals from the likes of Martina Topley-Bird and Horace Andy. An album fuelled by nostalgia its creepy organs are not one to miss. Once again it doesn’t disappoint and is arguably their best work to date. There Is Love In You was released on January 25th
There are definite influences from greats such as Aphex Twin in the likes of tracks such as ‘Sing’. An amazing exposition of the power that can be created in electronic music. Kieran Hebden has released a beautiful album in ‘There Is Love In You’. One Life Stand was released on February 1st Slightly less disco-housey than previous records and a bit calmer it comes together very nicely as an album showing why they are the kings of Geek-chic. Once again Hot Chip has pulled another brilliant album out of the bag. Here are a few of the albums that I am most excited about in no particular order:Īlthough very different to ‘All Hour Cymbals’ the change of direction to a more electronic style is not a bad thing and Yeasayer have produced a very good album to start the decade off. 2010 is set for some highly anticipated music and already it has seen the release of some excellent albums. Since it is the beginning of a new year and decade I thought I would kick start the posting by looking at what music we can look forward to in the coming year.
