Palo Alto (Music From The Motion Picture) By Various Artists (Already released)
(Any film music by the Coppola family has my interest. Sofia Coppola's soundtracks are all-time favorites of mine)
Listen to:
Palo Alto by Devonté Hynes
Champagne Coast by Blood Orange
Boyhood (Music From the Motion Picture) by Various Artists (Already released)
(Going to see the film, before I get the album. I've heard rumours that the film references The Black Album, which is a collection of Post-Beatles solo work. You can listen to that at The Playlist)
Guardians of the Galaxy (soundtrack) (July 29)
Again, I haven't seen the film, so these are just a few selections from the tracklist:
Spirit In The Sky by Norman Greenbaum (trailer music)
Hooked On A Feeling by Blue Swede (trailer music)
I’m Not in Love by 10cc
I'm Not Bossy, I'm the Boss by Sinead O'Connor (August 12)
Listen to: Take Me to Church
My Everything by Ariana Grande (August 25)
(I like the summer hit Problem (feat. Iggy Azalea). If annoying auto-tuned second single Break Free feat. Zedd is anything to go by, I doubt the rest of the album will appeal to me)
Creation by Pierces (September 1)
Listen to Believe In Me, and Kings
Barragan by Blonde Redhead (September 2)
Listen to: Dripping and No More Honey
Listen to: Change of Heart, Way To Be Loved, and Sleeptalker
(I'm a fan of his two previous studio albums, hopefully his new LP is is just as good)
Listen to: Madman
Ryan Adams by Ryan Adams (September 9)
Listen to: Gimme Something Good

The Endless River by Pink Floyd (October)
(The album is the band's first in twenty years, the last being 1994's The Division Bell. The Endless River is mostly an instrumental album consisting primarily of ambient music. Based on unreleased material the band produced during sessions in 1994, so my expectations are fairly moderate)

Agree or disagree? Which upcoming albums (or soundtracks) are you looking forward to? As always, comments are welcome
There is something about Karen O's voice that is just sublime. Didn't know about that album, so thanks for this heads up!
ReplyDeleteI saw the listing for the Guardians of the Galaxy album and it looks ridiculously amazing! Can't wait to watch the film. Like you, I don't listen to soundtracks until I've seen the film. The wait is not doing my health any good haha!
@Jaina: You're welcome, I'm not over the moon (pardon the pun) about the first track "Rapt", I hope there are a few tracks that are as strong as "The Moon Song" on there.
DeleteI don't usually rush out to see superhero movies, except Nolan's Batman trilogy and X-Men. The soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy looks impressive I must say.
The Karen O album is something I'm eagerly awaiting as is the Pink Floyd album. With the latter, I'll maintain low expectations though I did like The Division Bell. I'm just a bit bummed though not surprised that Roger Waters won't have any involvement just to make it more special.
ReplyDelete@thevoid99: I remember you are a fan of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, hopefully Karen O’s solo effort will be interesting.
DeleteI get the feeling new Pink Floyd album is material that wasn’t good enough to go on Division Bell, might be good though, we’ll see.
Wow, Interpol still exist? I used to love them, their first albums were so great but then after 2 or 3 they sounded so generic. I really need to catch up on new music, the only thing I'm current on is the soundtracks - and the one for Guardians is fantastic.
ReplyDelete@Sati: Haven’t listened to Interpol, I just know they were popular in the 2000s. Will keep that in mind to listen to their early albums, thanks for telling!
DeleteI loved American Hustle 70s soundtrack, so I’m hopeful I’ll feel the same way about Guardians.
Some exciting new albums indeed! Preferably The Pierces and Marketa Iglorva. Thanks for the news, Chris!
ReplyDelete@Andina: Always new music to keep up with (: I remember you are a fan of The Pierces, I really like “Believe In Me”.
DeleteFor me, Swell Season duo’s solo albums have been a bit forgettable, I hope her new album is good. You’re welcome!
I'm excited for the new Interpol and Caribou albums. Interpol kind of lost me with their last couple records, but their new single is promising. Maybe they have finally found their footing without Carlos D.
ReplyDeleteEric @ The Warning Sign: I need to listen to Interpol’s first couple of albums. Hope the new material is worth the wait!
DeleteI'm in love with The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices.
@Lights Camera Reaction: Thanks! Guardians of the Galaxy could end up as the best compilation soundtrack of 2014, we'll see
DeleteGuardians has a great soundtrack. I'm really looking forward to the latest albums from Electric Youth, Marketa Irglova, and Jessie Ware, among others, as well. Other intriguing albums: Charli XCX, The Ting Tings, and Jamie Cullum's new jazz album (most of his newer stuff has been pop).
ReplyDelete@Josh: Knew you'd be excited for Electric Youth! I did read about new Ting Tings, just forgot to include them, thanks for reminding me.
