Depression Cherry by Beach House (August 28)
(NPR First Listen provided me with a preview. Hands down my favorite album of 2015 so far. Good from start to finish. They've still got it!)
Poison Season by Destroyer (August 28)
(listen to Times Square)
(2011's Kaputt I consider among the best albums of the decade, so this follow-up comes with lofty expectations. Played the record on NPR First Listen, and it's not as accessible as Kaputt. I like the track Sun in the Sky, but didn't connect with the other new material...so far)
HITNRUN by Prince (September 7)
(listen to HARDROCKLOVER)
(Clearly Prince is past his peak, though he is still capable of making a good song now and again)
Honeymoon by Lana Del Rey (September 18)
(listen to Terrence Loves You , Honeymoon , High By The Beach
(I loved her last two albums. I was a bit sceptical about these teaser tracks at first, but they are growing on me. My favorite is Terrence Loves You)
B'lieve I'm Goin Down by Kurt Vile (September 25)
(listen to Pretty Pimpin)
Fading Frontier by Deerhunter (October 16)
(listen to Snakeskin)
(The teaser track is not as great as his older stuff. Hopefully the rest of the album delivers)
Divers by Joanna Newsom (October 23)
(listen to Sapokanikan)
(The teaser is unmistakably Newsom, and is a song you can listen to 10x and still not fully grasp. If the rest of the output is as ambitious as that, we could have another great album from her)
Which albums are you looking forward to for the rest of 2015? As always, comments are welcome.
