Awseome!!  I cant wait. One of my favorite bands.

So is midlake.  I know theyre working on something and claim theyre going to be faster this time but its taken them years in the past. Heres hoping for another "fleetwoody mac-y" sounding album ala van occupanther

New National album in May? Can't wait.

This year hasn't been the glut of awesome releases that 2012 was. Disappointed with Youth Lagoon's latest offering. Hopefully James Blake's upcoming will remedy that.

New Low album coming too!  YAYA.  What was so great about 2012?  New albums by The National and Low make 2013 pretty good already.  Though I do wish Low would develop the Great Destroyer direction more.

First we get new MBV, now a new BoC??? Oh wowie wowie.

Man this Diane Young song has been stuck in my head for like two weeks straight. I'll put this record on and have solo dance parties in my living room singing BABY BABY BABY BABY RIGHT ON TIME.

The A-side ("Step") is fantastic too. Cannot wait for the new Vampire Weekend record. They played two other new songs when I saw them last weekend (Unbelievers and Yeah Hey) which were okay too.

And the new Daft Punk single is taking over the world it seems. It is damny catchy:

What an exciting May with new albums coming out from Vampire Weekend, The National, Daft Punk, Savages, and Still Corners.
