It's gotta be the new DRE man. He takes a decade to drop an album and they are always great.

wouldn't be so sure — I have it on good authority that the What the Hell Even Is All This Garbage? record is nearing completion

Apparently David Lynch has already released a single? Is it any good?
I agree with Ronan here I think, I'd trust him to nail the atmosphere even if he doesn't have the tunes.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 6 January 2011 11:58 (thirteen years ago) link
also totally uninterested in david lynch making music. would there be the same hype if sofia coppola suddenly said she was going to release an album? or would there be mockery instead?
Not an exact parallel as they're actresses but Scarlett Johanssen and Charlotte Gainsbourg have both had well-received records so why not Sofia Coppola, if the music was good?

if we're talking about albums from non-musicians in 2011, easily my most anticipated is kim kardashian's
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Thursday, 6 January 2011 12:19 (thirteen years ago) link
actually the kim kardash opus is probably my most anticipated full stop
the david lynch single was kinda boring btw
Posts very much in character. Hope there's a duet with Justin Bieber where they pretend to be a couple and she sounds like she would rather be anywhere else in the world.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 6 January 2011 12:20 (thirteen years ago) link
dude terius is producing it!
TERIUS
and KIM KARDASHIAN
it is going to be INCREDIBLE
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Thursday, 6 January 2011 12:22 (thirteen years ago) link
That's a pre-emptive entry on the "albums that oughtta get 10.0" thread, right? Kim Kardashian is less obviously a terrible human being than Paris so I'm sort of anticipating this. Hoping Terius veers more into riotous Electrik Red/Basic Instinct territory rather than breathy sex ballads though.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 6 January 2011 12:33 (thirteen years ago) link
there's two, one dumb "electropop" song and one drony/ambient track that'd one expect from him

Several major publications are already reserving their number one spot for 2011 for it.

don't really see the need for albums but out of these...uh the villalobos might be good (is it the ECM stuff?) the isolee is...a grower but a bit of a disappointment at same time...not sure yet (do love one of the tracks on there tho) - each time i'm going to play it i end up playing the christopher rau lp instead
instra:mental could be good - no idea bout these at all, but was really into 'lets talk' last year

wow, i finally listened to the james blake album expecting to dislike it based on all the trashing its getting here, and....i kinda like it! i can see why people might get really evangelical about this in a talk talk way sorta, though its way more monochrome than those talk talk records and probably more similar to something like bon iver in tone and scope. definitely not dubstep in any way though imo
― ciderpress, Thursday, 6 January 2011 18:07 (thirteen years ago) link
i wouldn't go that far, even 'limit to your love' is 140 bpm with bass that's pretty clearly influenced by dubstep

there's a lot of potential on this list. but like every year, much of it will disappoint, and great stuff will surface that is totally unanticipated.

ACTRESS - GHETTOVILLE (WERK DISCS)
not partic anticipating, can't get into his stuff
APPARAT - THE DEVIL'S WALK (MUTE)
heard this, it's ok
BJORK - BIOPHILIA (ONE LITTLE INDIAN)
the three tracks i've heard are underwhelming and the whole ~multimedia~ ~app~ thing is tremendously offputting
COOLY G - TITLE TBC (HYPERDUB)
yup, hyped
DJ SHADOW - THE LESS YOU KNOW THE BETTER (ISLAND)
this ain't 1996
DRAKE - TAKE CARE (YOUNG MONEY / UNIVERSAL MOTOWN)
kmt
THE-DREAM - L.IV (DIARY OF A MADMAN) (DEF JAM)
radiokillaaaaaaaaa! my expectations are somewhat tempered but i'm still looking fwd, will drop everything to d/l it when it leaks
THE DRUMS - PORTAMENTO (MOSHI MOSHI / ISLAND)
these people are terrible wtf
FLORENCE & THE MACHINE - TITLE TBC (ISLAND)
hahahahahahahaha i'll stick to "damn i wish i was your lover" thanks
JOKER - THE VISION (4AD)
kinda felt the single with jessie ware wasn't all it could have been, guess i'm still anticipating but i don't expect anything to blow my brains out like "gully brook lane" did all those years ago
JUSTICE - AUDIO, VIDEO, DISCO (ED BANGER)
fuck off
L-VIS 1990 - NEON DREAMS (PMR)
yes!
MARTYN - GHOST PEOPLE (BRAINFEEDER)
i guess so
MATTHEW HERBERT - ONE PIG (ACCIDENTAL)
smh
RUSTIE - GLASS SWORDS (WARP)
this album is AMAZING!!!! i wasn't expecting it to be so good but it really is awesome
SANTIGOLD - TITLE TBC (WARNER)
i liked the single with karen o but not as much as the singles off her first album
SULLY - CARRIER (KEYSOUND)
yeah i guess
THEO PARRISH - UGLY EDITS (SOUND SIGNATURE)
yes, definitely
TOM WAITS - BAD AS ME (ANTI/EPITAPH)
i liked the single until the self-parodic vocals came in - i guess i'll still give it a listen though
THE WEEKND- ECHOES OF SILENCE (SELF-RELEASED)
I WILL KILL YOU
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 13:47 (twelve years ago) link
ACTRESS - GHETTOVILLE (WERK DISCS)Hey cool, I didn't know about this! I'm still getting into the last one. He was VERY techno-y at Field Day, so maybe this will go in that direction.
JOKER - THE VISION (4AD)Yep, interested!
ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER - REPLICA (SOFTWARE)This guy is just a little too prolific maybe? I only feel like I've scraped the surface of his previous works.
SULLY - CARRIER (KEYSOUND)I've heard it, it's nice - somewhere between dubstep, garage and footwork. And then after rinsing the album for a couple of weeks, I found out it's an old friend of mine.
TOM WAITS - BAD AS ME (ANTI/EPITAPH)Well, duh, of course I'm looking forward to it. But I'd rather hear a new direction. I enjoyed Real Gone, but I do prefer his other styles more than the raggedy blues stuff he's been doing these last few years.

Lex, you have me interested in the Rustie album. The last thing I heard by him didn't do much for me, but it showed potential.
― Sonny Chevrotain (dog latin), Wednesday, 31 August 2011 13:59 (twelve years ago) link
so I'm the only one who loves how dated Bjork's new singles are, then?
― beemer douchebag (DJP), Wednesday, 31 August 2011 13:59 (twelve years ago) link
Have not heard the new singles - are they like 1993ish?
― kkvgz, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 14:04 (twelve years ago) link
i don't think it's nec that they sound "dated" as such, though they do sound like they could have come from any recording session she did over the past decade - they just don't hook me with their, uh, hooks. or lack of. judgment not set in stone, maybe they'll sound better in album context, but they're just a bit...forgettable

What do you call it when you're over-generous with your time on something you don't like, but you want to learn to 'appreciate'? As in you've read five Murakami novels even though he's your least favourite? Or when you earmark a recipe for kohlrabi because you're determined to enjoy kohlrabi one day? Anyway I'll be listening to that Actress record, a lot, probably.
