    First, I'll start off with albums that I definitely know are coming - Moth by Chairlift and III by Miike Snow. The former is actually dropping in a couple of weeks (on the 22nd I believe) while the latter will be in March. It had been four years since both acts last released albums so here's hoping they aren't letdowns, and I feel like they've both taken fresh new directions so it's gonna be interesting.

    Flume also just announced his long-awaited second album Skin, and although I am aware of the "sophomore slump" I do hope it lives up to the hype, given his 2012 self-titled debut was a very successful album.

    In terms of what I want to see released this year, new albums for Gorillaz and Radiohead, which I know are currently in production. I also hope for a new Foster The People album this year, especially after I have heard they have been working on new stuff lately.

    2015 was a big year for music, so we know how much hype the forthcoming album releases this year will have to live up to.
     
    Things I Know Are Coming That I'm Very Excited For:

    david bowie - blackstar (it leaked but apparently the sound quality is shite)
    jesu / sun kil moon - s/t (for comedic value more than anything)
    animal collective - painting with
    the body - no one deserves happiness (less so but I hear this band rips so I'll check it out probably)

    that's it.

    Things That Are TBA:

    chromatics - dear tommy
    death grips - bottomless pit (kind of. **** this band but I'll listen to it probably)
    drake - views from the 6
    frank ocean - boys don't cry
    glassjaw
    james blake - radio silence (kind of. not sure I care much but I'll probably check it out)
    kanye west - swish
    m83
    tim hecker

    yea.
     
    Oh wow I forgot Radio Silence by James Blake. I remember hearing it was due for a 2015 release but it never surfaced. Hopefully the promise is not failed this time. I also hope for a new Two Door Cinema Club album this year as well, it has been way too long since Beacon was released, being around four years ago now.
