Apparently Nick Oliveri and Dave Grohl are recording the new QOTSA album with Josh, so I'm extra pumped about that one. And of course Mark Lanegan always pops up somewhere on every QOTSA album.
Early vote for Ducktails - The Flower Lane. Confess to have only heard "Letter of Intent," but the song is that good. Madeline Follin guests on another track. Should be interesting to hear how she sounds outside of Cults.

Another fan here, but that new song is too pop. Last album was killer.

Been to about 5 concerts of theirs. Met Sara a few times... seems like Tegan doesn't like coming out to meet fans, but i've seen Tegan around Vancouver a few times, never bothered to say hello though.
Can't say i was too attached to Sainthood, but really loved the Con+IIWY. I'll probably give the new one a few listens.
For some reason, it's really interesting to me considering where they were when they were walking with a ghost. It's a complete reinvention of their sound.
I never seen them live, but the internet radio station I listen to (Y-Not), did a radio takeover/podcast with them, and the host afterward was talking about how he was hitting it off with Sara, but that Tegan was kind of reserved. At least he thought it was Sara.

Ohhh they are the most endearing live. There was one time, they talked for like 20 minutes in between songs and told stories, quite funny, or they would mess up on songs and start over but they never cut their sets short because of it. Their banter is almost as fun as the music. But since they've become popular (IE played on MTV and such), their shows are much more precise.
I remember the first time i heard them was on YTV (a Canadian program from pre-teens/youth), some old show that would do top 30 music videos or something. Anyways, the video was for Living Room. Going from that (a song with a prominent banjo!!) to where they are now is a huge jump, definitely a reinvention or drastic evolution in some ways. The new song doesn't even sound like them, almost Katy Perry-esque.
I'd definitely agree with that assessment. Sara is more friendly and engaging, but Tegan fits the typical Vancouverite: polite but reserved and a bit stand-offish with the public.

On another note, i am looking forward to new Youth Lagoon. Their debut ruled my 2011.
I'm most stoked for The Horrible Crowes, loved their first album Elsie.
Jimmy Eat World are also putting out a new album, but I wasn't a huge fan of their last effort.
Also for punk fans: Dropkick Murphys, Bad Religion, Lagwagon, Alkaline Trio, and Gob.
I had no idea The National were releasing an album, so that's the top of my list of most anticipating albums right now. Number two on that list would be Jimmy Eat World. I think Stars have a new one coming out, too, which should be.. listenable. Other than that, nothing I'm too excited about just yet.

Oh, Lagwagon and Alk3 should be fun. Not a huge fan of their stuff anymore, but I still throw it on from time to time.
