Haven't come across any of those names myself. I just don't really keep my ear to the ground enough - most of the genuinely new albums I find I come across completely by accident some way or another.

And talking of albums I'm looking forward to...

Top 5 artists I'd love to see a new album by soon but most likely won't:

1. David Bowie [for 7 years I've been checking on BowieNet for news practically every day, and still no joy. Not even a rumour for fucks sake]
2. Scott Walker [notoriously quiet between albums, hasn't released anything since an instrumental EP in 2007. Absolutely nothing on the news front]
3. Dead Can Dance [Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry just can't seem to iron out their personal/creative differences, even after almost 15 years]
4. Zola Jesus [a full-length album - her last one was easily one of my favourites of 2009, so I'd love to listen to a substantial amount of new material]
5. Bat For Lashes [^ see 4]

^ For all I know, 4 and 5 could have new albums on the way. As for 1-3, there's basically no chance of seeing anything new from them...at least not for a year or two.
 
that's too bad.. i hope they come by where you live really soon! :) they are amazing live!


and thanks duga! i'll definitely listen to it now!
edit: help! which ones do i start with?
 
What stuff did you first listen to?
I imagine if you listen to Slanted, you might shy away from them.
If you listen to Crooked Rain, you're more likely to be into them.
I find Crooked Rain to be not only their best album, but their most accessible.
When did you see them at Brixton?
