Albums to look forward to in 2008:

Death Cab For Cutie - TBA (Due out May 2008)
So far they have 5 (6 if you count You Can Play These Songs With Chords) perfect albums, there's no reason why this one should be any different.

Bromheads Jacket - TBA (No release date yet, hopefully early summer)
2006's Dits From The Commuter Belt was a raw, heavy withdrawl from the rest of the music coming out of Sheffield, and was all the better for it, as well as being packed with unheard tracks. Album No. 2 should be just as amazing.


as well as (hopefully):

Arctic Monkeys 3rd album
Seems to be pushing it to get this recorded and released by the end of the year, so more likely to be early 2009

Muse 5th album
Again, it's probably unlikely that this will be released this year, and it's more likely that they will concentrate on the rumour tour of UK stadiums following the huge success of their shows at Wembley Stadium last summer. Still, it would be amazing to hear some new material from the best band on the planet. Apparently is going to be "electronic and experimental"...

The Streets 4th album
Apparently, Mike Sinner is currently recording this, and hopfully it will get released this year. Having recently disbanded "The Beat" record label and removing the pressure of other bands from his time. And the sample placed on Skinner's MySpace of new track "Everything Is Borrowed" shows he will be returning to the sound of 2002's debut, Original Pirate Material. Hopefully it will be an improvement on 2006's The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living.
