1. FKA Twigs is set to release LP1 on August 12 in the US. Twigs already has two beautiful EPs out; if you haven't heard them, do so now! I first heard of her while reading Rookie Mag.
2. Ty Segall is releasing Manipulator on August 26. I can't believe this is his first release of 2014; I feel like he has at least one release every couple of months. I mean, how may ways and times can you release a garage fuzz album and keep it fresh? I guess we'll find out. Click the link for an album teaser.
3. Alt-J have set September 22 as the date for their sophomore album This is All Yours. As a huge lover of their first album, I'm excited and nervous for this release. Just like a movie sequel, it'll be really great or really terrible. Since it's Alt-J though, I'm sure I won't be disappointed. Even their pre-Alt-J music was fantastic. No single or sample yet, but their tour schedule is up.
4. Bjork and Death Grips...what an interesting combination. The Powers That B is a two-disc album, with the first half (niggas on the moon) already available to stream by clicking the link. Disc two, jenny death, has no official release date yet, but is expected out later this year. And yes, niggas on the moon is just as zany as you expect it to be.
5. Jenny Lewis, as I mentioned in the last post, is releasing The Voyager on July 29. The indie folk darling gets personal on her second solo album. You can listen to the Beck-produced single, "Just One of the Guys" and get pumped for the rest of the album now.
6. Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd as Electric Würms Surprise, surprise. Wayne Coyne has another side project. Musik, Die Shwer Zu Twerk comes out on August 19. It's going to be a six-song album. The single, now available on iTunes, is a cover of Yes' "Heart of the Sunrise."
7. J Masics' Tied to a Star is due out August 25. Track listing, tour schedule, and single available at the link.
8. The New Pornographers are releasing Brill Bruisers on August 26. Neko Case, Dan Bejar, A.C. Newman, Blaine Thurier, John Collins, Kathryn Calder, Kurt Dahle, and Todd Fancey will all appear on the 13-track album.
9. Jeff and Spencer Tweedy, fittingly as TWEEDY are releasing an album title Sukierae on August 16. As a Wilco fan, I'm expecting good things from the father son duo.
10. Allah-Las, my most recent found favorites, are releasing the aptly titled Worship the Sun on September 16. Their surfy, psych-y sound is perfect for the Summer, so until their new album arrives, I suggest jamming to their self-titled album. You can hear hear a single from the upcoming album if you click the band name.
Who are you waiting to hear some new tunes from?
