| Time Marches On, Baby!
List is March releases I'm on the hunt for. (Apologies to any Metallica fans who feel misled. This bell tolls not for you, although they'd have made the list if they'd had the good sense to drop an album in March.) | | 1 |  | Pond (AUS)
Tasmania
Biding my time for that fabled new Tame Impala record, so while I've never been the hugest Pond fan, this'll have to do. | | 2 |  | Snapped Ankles
Stunning Luxury
Actually don't know this band, but their name and inclusion on Sputnik's list for tomorrow's releases intrigued me, as well as their description and artwork. (Ditto for Self Esteem's Compliments Please, but that artist's evidently not even in the database yet.) | | 3 |  | Flight of the Conchords
Live in London
Saw the HBO special, which was surprisingly heavy on newer material ("Summer of 1353" is a spicy-hot jam), and unsurprisingly solid throughout. This release looks to have some bonus 'tent, and when it comes to New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo, the more, the merrier. | | 4 |  | Foals
Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 1
Skeptical of the necessity of this being two albums, but hey, if Demon Hunter can do it... | | 5 |  | American Football
American Football (LP3)
Hopefully won't fall prey to diminishing returns, but we shall see. Enjoyed the singles. | | 6 |  | Andrew Bird
My Finest Work Yet
Tongue-in-cheek title aside, this definitely has some of the most Andrew Bird of song titles yet, like "Sisyphus" and "Archipelago." Get HYPED, nerds! | | 7 |  | Iron And Wine
Our Endless Numbered Days
Deluxe re-release with a whole set of demos, which, if the ones from Shepherd's Dog back in the day are anything to go by, should end up outshining the "official" ones (which don't get me wrong, are stellar in their own right) about 70% of the time. College freshman me is already misty-eyed at the prospect of popping this on the ol' turntable. | | 8 |  | La Dispute
Panorama
Love everything the band's done (including Vancouver AND Rooms of the House, fight me, please don't, I'm frail), and early singles from this have been pretty solid, even if the production seems a little wonky. Optimistic on the whole, though, even if it's that Hopesfall-indebted artwork's influence. | | 9 |  | Jenny Lewis
On The Line
Well, for one thing, tough to argue with that artwork... | | 10 |  | Strand of Oaks
Eraserland
Underrated storyteller here, I feel like he often gets written off as some alt-folk also-ran, when, really, he's got a much heavier, denser sound than a lot of his alleged peers. Especially live. Haven't heard anything from this yet, though, so going by history here. Will it be a concept album based around Schwarzenegger? I mean... | | 11 |  | East of the Wall
NP-Complete
These guys are still around! | | 12 |  | Devin Townsend
Empath
Come for the Hevy Devy, stay for the Chad Kroeger, nahmsayin'? | | 13 |  | Nicholas Britell
If Beale Street Could Talk: Soundtrack
Absolutely gorgeous score right here, elevates what was an already stunning poem of a film to a whole 'nother level. Definitely robbed of the Oscar, but that's fine. I'm fine. It's fine. | |

02.28.19 | Missing Amanda Palmer's new one, There Will Be No Intermission, but that's not in the database yet, and adding that artwork from a work computer would be...dicey, let's say. | thecheatisnotdead
03.01.19 | Others I overlooked/learned about:
William Basinski - On Time Out of Time
Elizabeth Colour Wheel - Nocebo |
