2021 Most Anticipated

Forgive me if a version of this thread already exists somewhere but I couldn't see one.

Post what music you're most looking forward to from the coming year.

So far I'm personally not massively aware of what's on the way but I'm excited for Julien Baker in February and the Glaswing stuff from Aaron Marsh.

Crossing my fingers for some new Paramore, Kendrick and Circa Survive at some point too.

 

Every Time I Die

 

Chvrches
St Vincent
The Hold Steady

probably Lorde

 

The Dirty Nil (coming Friday but still)
Tigers Jaw
Bleachers
The Maine
You, Me, & Everyone We Know
Citizen
Senses Fail
Circa Survive
The Dangerous Summer
Weezer
Brockhampton
Coheed & Cambria (hopefully)
The Wonder Years (hopefully)
Taking Back Sunday (hopefully)

I'm definitely forgetting a lot but that's what immediately sticks out to me

 

Grayscale! Also really looking forward to new Pale Waves.

 

Kendrick Lamar maybe? Please...

 

The Antlers
Bartees Strange
Porter Robinson
The Sonder Bombs

One Step Closer
Mutually Assured Destruction

 

I didn’t know whether to include Paramore, damn I really hope so

 

real outside-bet shit but it sure would be nice

 

Taylor Swift

 

Manchester Orchestra is far and away my most anticipated!

 

Every Time I Die, Julien, and Manchester Orchestra for sure

 

I was thinking earlier, I wonder what the chances of a new Joanna Newsom album would be this year. Approaching 6 years since her last.

 

Julien Baker
Lucy Dacus
Big Thief
Snail Mail
Lorde
Courtney Barnett
Japanese Breakfast
Every Time I Die
Manchester Orchestra

 

Fireworks - Higher Lonely Power

 

Julien Baker & Pale Waves are the first ones that come to mind. CHVRCHES will probably be good, too. Dunno how realistic Paramore is, but after Petals for Armor topped my 2020 list, I’m definitely interested in the full band’s next project.

Might be alone in this, but if Taylor Swift actually releases a re-recorded version of the full Fearless album, that could end up being one of my favorite things I listen to this year, lol.

 

Maybe Japanese House and Charly Bliss?

 

Of what is already announced or has been hinted at being out this year:

Jade Bird, Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus, Snail Mail, Kississippi, Adult Mom, Another Michael, Buck Meek, For Your Health, Palberta, Indigo Sparke, Katy Kirby, Kali Masi, Baio, Arlo Parks, The Sonder Bombs, Sun June, Caithlan De Marris, Hospital Bracelet, Wild Pink

Courtney Barnett
Japanese Breakfast
Every Time I Die

Black country, new road
Viagra Boys
Bartees Strange

100 gecs (I hope so)
ETID
of Montreal’s second half of their double album

Foo fighters

While she sleeps

I hope they put something out this year

 

St. Vincent's going to do something wild and I can't wait to hear it.

Pale Waves' two singles have been major steps up, so that's definitely a sleeper pick.

In a similar vein, I'd love a new Charly Bliss record. Feel like Young Enough was massive and I'd like to hear what they come up with next.
