These are simply in alphabetical order. It’s hard enough to rank my top 10, i don’t want to do it more than once a year. Enjoy all of these on Spotify, which i’ll continue to update throughout the rest of 2013. And with some highly anticipated releases still on the horizon, including new albums from Porcelain Raft, Smith Westerns, and Elton John, i’m sure this list will evolve.
But enough babbling, enjoy my favorite albums of 2013 (so far) and please check back in December to see which (if any) make the cut for my top 10 of the year.
A few of my favorite new releases this week, including the latest from Austra, Kanye West, and Sigur Rós. As always, be sure to visit Largehearted Boy for more new music.
“Ísjaki” is from the new album Kveikur, out June 17/18 on XL Recordings (pre-order here). The band will kick off a new world tour this May, which includes a new live show, an 11-piece band, and new material. Tour details and more are available here.
Sigur Rós’ new album, Kveikur, will be released worldwide on June 17th (18th in North America). The self-produced album contains nine tracks and is band’s first release as a trio. You can now pre-order it here (please note that a pre-order of a kveikur deluxe edition is yet to come).
Today the band premiered the video for the new track “Brennisteinn”, directed by Andrew Huang.
One more thing, the band’s Northa American tour begins this Sunday (3/24) in NY. Tonight (3/22) you’ll be able to preview new song “Kveikur” as the band performs on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
