the bjork, tortoise, and trail of the dead i am. i've heard good things about air. whats veils and boards of canada?

 

[IanDork107]

Boards of Canada is really good ambient electronic. Veils is some sort of combination between retro goth rock and indie/folk. They're both really cool.

I'm also looking forward to the new Stereolab and !!!

 

[Space Ghost]

I'm not sure how soon they'll be released, but I'm looking forward to this year:

The Mars Volta
The Polyphonic Spree
Pinback
Gruvis Malt

I don't really listen to Bjork, but I still plan of checking out the new album on the chance that I might actually like it. I thought Vespertine was decent, maybe this one will be also (not that the others were bad, per se...)

 

[IanDork107]

Oooh...I didn't know about another Mars Volta or The Polyphonic Spree. Hopefully this years Polyphonic Spree release will find what seems to be their vision in a much more realized state. And hopefully there won't be an excessively long and pointless closing track to add to the albums length.

I think there's a new Broken Social Scene coming out in March as well.

2004 is shaping up to be a good year.

 

[Space Ghost]

Yeah, that track kinda pissed me off. I would rather have it cut off and sold as an EP or something. (edit: er, not the track sold as an EP, but the rest of the album)

I'm not totally sure that The Mars Volta is releasing a new album, but that's what I've been hearing.

 

[IanDork107]

That would be sweet. De-loused was among my favorites for 2003.

 

[Azogue]

That Tortoise album should rule.

I think you forgot Blackfield, too

Hmm, other than that, I'm looking forward to the new Solefald, as they are apparently releasing an album this year.

This does seem like a good year, though I don't see how it can possibly surpass 2003...

 

[IanDork107]

I dunno, it's starting off much stronger than 2003 did.

 

[kleo706]

I just got a new Stereolab album. It was a radio station give away. WTF is a stereolab?

 

[IanDork107]

A lab, in stereo.

I'm listening to the new Stereolab right now

 

[Demonspell]

I don't think surpassing 2003 is an impossible task...

 

[ImNoHippy]

alex - BoC are my gods. Let me school you.

 

[Cerulean]

Ehm... Anathema.
