Our Most Anticipated Albums of 2012
Looking back at our 2011 list of Most Anticipated Albums, there is a pretty wide spectrum of releases that fulfilled their potential (Destroyer, Fleet Foxes, James Blake), never quite took off (Danielson, Hercules And Love Affair, Lupe Fiasco), and even a few that we are still waiting for (Dead Man’s Bones, Blur, Portishead). Sorry guys, we couldn’t get them all right.
This year, there seem to be even less announced albums then we are used to, and hopefully we will see a surge in confirmed 2012 releases in the coming weeks. Regardless, we still have our theories about what we will see this year, broken up into Announced, Confirmed, In Progress, and Speculative. We couldn’t blurb everything (shout-outs to Cat Power, Ceremony, Screaming Females, Air, Cloud Nothings, The Men, Miike Snow, Swans, Santigold, Black Star, Die Antwoord, and Band Of Horses – don’t worry, we are looking forward to your releases, too), but we have a pretty good cross-section of what we hope to hear in the coming year. Have a safe and happy new year from all of us at BPM, as we look forward to our website’s best year yet.
