As we again learned last week, no one is buying albums any more. So what’s the point in writing a feature about 35 albums you should buy? Well, we did something similar earlier this year and it proved to be one of our most read features ever. This could mean one of two things: either every single person who is still crazy enough to buy music is a reader of Consequence of Sound or you guys are using it as a guide for what albums to put on your BitTorrent queue.

Whatever the case may be, we decided to do it all over again. You see, our first “35 Albums to Buy in 2010″ only covered a fraction of 2010 and since then, plenty more quality new releases have been unveiled. So the CoS news team came together and etched out a list of “35 More Albums to Buy in 2010″. Below, you’ll find a paragraph preview for each of said “35 More Albums…”, complete with mp3 (if available), cover art (if available), and release date (if available). Whether you buy, steal, or download, we hope you find it as a useful resource. Just remember, musicians are people too. So please support them in some way or manner.

Eminem – Recovery

With his last album, Mr. Mathers suffered a Relapse. Now, with his seventh album, Detroit’s finest plans on entering Recovery. Not because slipping back into his vices is particularly bad, but the last album was, in the rapper’s own words, “ehhh”. In our first taste from the LP, “Not Afraid”, Eminem gets pretty serious in the pro-personal strength mantra. And while it lacks some of the jester-esque flow of his previous efforts, the rest of the album’s got us pretty stoked. With cameos from both Pink and Rihanna, plus production work by Jim Jonsin and Just Blaze, the album could be a step in the right direction toward regaining the hip-hop throne Em held before essentially taking a step back after the release of 2004′s Encore. One day at a time, Marshall, one day at a time. -Chris Coplan

M.I.A. – /\/\ /\ Y /\

Say what you will about her music; M.I.A. is a genius of self-promotion. Whether releasing made-to-be-banned videos of children getting executed or stirring up web beefs with New York Times writers, it’s the rare week where the singer doesn’t pop up in the headlines. Soon she may actually be making waves for her music (imagine that). Though it features the most godawful cover ever, /\/\ /\ Y /\ (a creative way of spelling Maya, her real name) promises to deliver 10 more world-fusion tracks ready for clubs and stoner film trailers alike. And while first single “XXXO” hasn’t exactly blown up the charts, don’t forget it took “Paper Planes” almost a year to make a splash. And if the recent controversies have shown anything, it’s that you underestimate M.I.A. at your own peril. -Ray Padgett

The Roots – How I Got Over

How far they have come. What was once a little jazz hip hop outfit out of Illidelphia is now the house band for Mr. Jimmy Fallon, lest we forget that they have cut some seminal hip hop records in the past. Maybe it’s ?uestlove watching indie band after indie band perform on Fallon that influenced The Roots’ new album  How I Got Over, featuring Jim James, Joanna Newsom, Dirty Projectors, John Legend, and a litany of other guests. Always in the pocket, always fresh, always The Roots, these guys are sure to let the needle drop on some new grooves, while still maintaining that live-band 215th sound they’ve cultivated over the years. Pick this one up OK, Player?. -Jeremy Larson

Big Boi – Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty

As one-half of hip-hop royalty Outkast, it’s no doubt we were as giddy as school children for the first solo album of Big Boi‘s already illustrious career; now we just want it out and done with already. We first got whiff of the album as far back as 2007. Since then, it’s been coming and going at regular intervals; it was even to be joined by other Outkast albums at some point. But now the album actually seems to be a reality. And oh what a reality it will surely be. In a song so good even Big Boi loses his head, “Shutterbug” is full of lots of influences, hoping around from energy to energy and with a signature sound that only Big Boi could be the ring leader of. Whether or not the rest of the album’s as good is still up to debate. We’re just happy we get to hear it before Outkast’s kids decide to make music. -Chris Coplan

How to Destroy Angels – How to Destroy Angels [EP]

Ever since Trent Reznor began posting cryptic studio shots to his blog, fans have wondered what the Nine Inch Nails mastermind had up his sleeve. Well, the secret’s out: it’s How to Destroy Angels, a collaborative project with Reznor’s new wife Mariqueen Mandig, and NIN producer/bass player Atticus Ross. The songs are as dark and ambient as you would expect from Reznor, though the hotel-murder video is particularly gruesome. In another now-standard move, he released the EP for a free download on his website, with the option of a $2 upgrade for high-quality FLAC files. Fans who prefer a physical release will have to wait until July 6th, when the CD drops. Reznor has indicated the EP represents only the earliest experiments by the band; look for a more fleshed-out full length in early 2011. -Ray Padgett

Best Coast – Crazy for You

If we’ve learned anything about buzz bands these past few months, it’s that most (if not all) of them fizzle out. However, as with anything, there are exceptions. Case in point: Best Coast. Maybe we’re just crazy for Bethany Cosentino, but there’s nothing better than the sunny distortion and distant melodies that the group’s 7″ singles and digital releases have trademarked. But we’ve yet to hear a solid effort from the Los Angeles trio. That’s what makes the group’s forthcoming debut, Crazy for You, so exciting, and so delectable, too. Instead of tiptoeing from one single to the next, we’ll be able to digest the fuzzy lo-fi pop punk in large, healthy quantities. The real cherry on top is that the band recorded in the same studio where they hashed out hot singles like “When I’m With You” and “This Is Real”. Hace calor! -Michael Roffman

Menomena – Mines

If there’s one tragedy to remember in the indie circuit, it’s that 2007′s Friend and Foe didn’t land on any critic’s top year-end lists. In addition to some of the most incredible cover art in recent memory, Menomena‘s third LP packed in so much instrumentation you’d think an orchestra came on board. But truth be told, only three members were responsible. Three musical geniuses, really. Now the Portland geniuses return, ready to make good on their untold promise of creating more with very, very little. Mines, the group’s long awaited fourth LP, culls together portions and portions of material to become something that, as Justin Harris insists, is “more emotional than any previous album.” We’ve had a taste of the new sound with non-album track “Pilgrim’s Progress” on Record Store Day, in addition to current haunt of a single “FIVE LITTLE ROOMS”, but come July 27th, we’re likely to pounce on the whole shebang. -Michael Roffman

Arcade Fire – The Suburbs

The status of Arcade Fire‘s new album as everyone’s most anticipated of 2010 has not changed — if anything, we should all be hungrier after all the details. Between now and August 3rd, there will be two more months of idle talk (natural, being that this is the world’s biggest indie band that’s actually still indie). There will be elitism: “The new singles are so uninspired and mainstream; this album’s gonna suck.” There will be fanboyism: “Arcade Fire can do no wrong; just look at those thematic new song titles! Best band alive.” And there will be obsessive analyses of meaningless minutiae: “Win Butler’s new haircut is… what the hell is he thinking? This album’s gonna suck!” And while the hair is awful, the healthy thing to do is to calm down, listen to The National’s High Violet on repeat, and not build up expectations to unrealistic proportions. That being said, we’re still incredibly psyched. -Harry Painter

Autolux – Transit Transit

While Autolux has had some trouble (six years’ worth) getting a second album out, the band has been playing tracks off of it live for years. It’s a shame that the live show has been the only chance for most people to hear these songs, because they’re every bit as good as much of the neo-shoegaze trio’s 2004 debut Future Perfect. Furthermore, Autolux is one of those bands that should be much bigger than they are. Come August 3rd, if the record, titled Transit Transit, doesn’t drown in the half-decade of anticipation, Autolux has a chance to make that happen. -Harry Painter
August 3rd via TBD Records

Wavves – King of the Beach

Here’s how to describe Wavves’ sound on the Nathan Williams-led project’s last two albums: Place two speakers on either side of your ears, turn it way up, and enjoy as cascade after cascade of lo-fi surf rock annihilates your inner ear and shatters your bones in the most nihilistic groove you’ll ever experience, dude. But not one to be predictable, Williams (and new backing band made up of the old Jay Reatard band) has decided to switch things up. Williams has claimed in interviews that King of the Beach is going to be an album unlike anything else the unit has produced. And based on the first couple of tracks, that means high-end production value, lots of experimentation with sounds and layering, and, gasp, songs more than a couple minutes long. Growing up is totally rad, bro. -Chris Coplan

Chromeo – Business Casual

The lovable soul-pop throwbacks known as Chromeo return with their first album since 2007’s Fancy Footwork. Singer Dave 1 told the Wall Street Journal the record is more “sophisticated” than previous releases, but added, “Our music is music you play when you’re making out or getting ready – for when your suit-with-no-tie comes on or comes off.” Unsophisticated track titles include “You Make It Rough”, “I’m Not Contagious”, and “Hot Mess”, which is about the most perfect Chromeo song title imaginable. In a blog post Dave cited Michael Jackson, the Alan Parsons Project, and keytar player Reggie Griffin as inspirations for the album, which can only mean more smooth lady-killing funk. Another likely muse: mentor Daryl Hall, with whom the pair will perform at Bonnaroo next week. -Ray Padgett

!!! – Strange Weather, Isn’t It?

Less than a year after the tragic death of drummer Jerry Fuchs, the un-Googleable dance-punk outfit !!! is ready to soldier on and release its fourth LP this August. “AM/FM”, the first single from their fourth album, bounces along as spastically as any of their previous work, though frontman Nic Offers promises “really dark moments” elsewhere. Yet somehow it’s hard to imagine anything too sinister coming from Sacramento’s most unabashedly dance-happy octet. Like MGMT before them, the band claim Brian Eno as a heavy influence, which suggests perhaps more dense production that previous efforts. If all that isn’t enough to get you excited for the party record of the fall, tracks titled “Wannagain Wannagain” and “Jamie, My Intentions Are Bass” sound like must-listens. -Ray Padgett

Ra Ra Riot – The Orchard

Ra Ra Riot is already a relatively poppy band (we’re inclined to make a joke about the band and the dictionary definition of “poppy”). With lots of quaint melodies and both a cello and violin in the band, they’re a pop band who wear their love of all that is sweet and bittersweet on their vintage tees. But for their sophomore album, they’re promising to go beyond The Rhumb Line and its effervescent aura and orchestral arrangements . According to the band, its sophomore LP The Orchard is going to be “so poppy you will want to throw up on yourself.” Whether or not that means we actually suffer from some kind of insulin overload or this is a slight but of hyperbole from Syracuse, NY’s second best export is neither here nor there; we’re counting the days till August, that’s for sure. -Chris Coplan

Röyksopp – Senior

After taking four years between albums the last two times around, Röyksopp is dishing out a sequel to 2009′s Junior rather quickly. This doesn’t spell haste, though — the two albums are, as the names suggest, closely connected. The band described Junior as having a spring feel, while Senior will have an autumn feel (out in late August). So, despite the off-chance Senior could turn out to be a really corny atmosphere piece, we have high hopes for the Norwegian electronic duo’s fourth effort. -Harry Painter

The Thermals – Personal Life

You’d think we wouldn’t be so hungry for new tunes by The Thermals. After all, it’s only been a year or so since they released Now We Can See. But, lo and behold, here we are now, and yes, we’re demanding that Hutch Harris, Kathy Foster, and Westin Glass entertain us. That they will, come September 7th, when Personal Life, the trio’s fifth LP to date, surfaces. We don’t anticipate much change (nor do we want to), but if we’re to believe the band’s latest press release, we should expect a darker and deeper LP. One that, and we quote, “obsesses over love and lies with the same passion The Thermals have reserved for politics and death in the past.” Given Harris’ “sunny” lyricism on those subjects, we anticipate this shit is gonna be heavy. Right on time for the angsty weather of autumn. Choice. -Michael Roffman

Black Mountain – Wilderness Heart

Everyone needs help once in a while, an idea which Black Mountain is currently implementing for its third record, Wilderness Heart, set for release on September 15th. On the followup to 2008′s In The Future, the Canadian psych-rock band is using outside producers for the first time in its career, as the reins have been handed over to Dave Sardy (Oasis) and Randal Dunn (Sunn O). According to vocalist Amber Webber, “We knew exactly what it would sound like if we did this own our own. It just seemed like if we were going to do the third album, we just needed to do something different that would be exciting to us.” Those of you familiar with the band’s past work, get ready for a change. Gone are the epic 10 minute tracks; instead, replaced by short, straightforward rockers and an improvised, lyrical approach. Case in point, the album’s first single “Old Fangs”.  -Joe Marvilli

Grinderman – Grinderman 2

Though we’re promised something different from the first Grinderman installment, Nick Cave and his grunge cohorts are sure to churn out some massive tracks on the forthcoming sequel. Cave and his three separatists from The Bad Seeds engaged in a grunge-heavy, sex-fueled mayhem first time around that razed clubs with their tour with The White Stripes, so expect similar results this time around both live and out your speakers. We’re still hanging on [read: drooling over, perplexed regarding, and a little aroused by] band member Warren Ellis’ quotes from last year regarding the album, “It’s kind of like stoner rock meets Sly Stone via Amon Düül… Nick’s got a different thing going on with the lyrics than he would have from the Bad Seeds. Less sex? I wouldn’t say that.” I wouldn’t suggest it, either, Warren. -Jeremy Larson

Kid Cudi – Man on The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager

Oh, Cudi. What can we say about Mr. Cleveland himself? He’s worked with Kanye West and Jay-Z, kind of toured with Lady Gaga, and genuinely been pushed as a guy to watch out for. And while there’s been talk of him quitting after a certain number of albums and then talk of some kind of collaborations album, it seems as if his second LP will be a trip back to the moon. This time, though, Cudi says it’s not about taking us into his bad dreams; instead, Cudder will be “bringing you into my reality, good and bad. It will explain more of who I am as well as pushing the envelope musically.”And that envelope involves working with hip-hop mastermind Jim Jonsin, cameos from Ratatat, Chip Tha Ripper, Cage, and Mr. West himself, and even some Duran Duran sampling. One ticket, please. -Chris Coplan

Beastie Boys – Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1

The Brooklyn hip-hop trio was all set to release Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1 in 2009, but was forced to delay the effort when Adam “MCA” Yauch was diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully, he seems to be on the road to recovery, as does the album. What we do know is that the outfit’s first traditional LP since 2004′s To the 5 Boroughs, Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1 is said to be loaded with obscure samples, hardcore punk (“Lee Majors Come Again”), and even an a cappella piece (“B-Boys in the Cut”). What we don’t know is whether the album originally announced will be the one we actually hear. After letting it age for a year though, the Beastie Boys are currently looking over the tracklisting and songwriting to see if any adjustments need to be made. “We finished the record over a year ago, so we want to take a look at it and re-evaluate and make sure it is what we want to put out there and that we are still happy with it,” explained Yauch to NME. Whatever the end result may be, it finally appears the Beastie Boys’ long-awaited comeback is finally within our reach. -Joe Marvilli

Brandon Flowers – Flamingo

Ever since The Killers announced their hiatus at the end of last year, the band members have quickly scattered to various side projects. Perhaps what may be the least surprising but most anticipated of them all is Brandon Flowers’ forthcoming solo debut Flamingo. While not much has been said about the upcoming album, a few tidbits have slipped out to the Internet. First off, it’s chockful of big name producers, including Daniel Lanois (U2, Neil Young), Brendan O’Brien (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen), and Stuart Price (The Killers, Madonna). Flowers also confirmed a duet with Rilo Kiley frontlady Jenny Lewis on a song called “Hard Enough”, and that the album also features a Gospel song. A release date for single number one is set for the end of June, with the release of his album Flamingo in September. -Joe Marvilli

Interpol – Interpol

Things weren’t looking good for our dapper post-punk heroes. In the bottom of the whatever, they were down a bass player, a tour, and a release date or name for their new album. But as is the way of most Disney sports movies, Interpol pulled it together, hired a great bass player, and announced a release date for their forthcoming self-produced, self-titled album Interpol. And they also added a bunch more UK and Europe tour dates. Cue Angles In The Outfield theme song. Though, I guess there’s the whole “what does this album sound like” deal. The Interpol boys have baffled us with polarizing statements such as, “it certainly doesn’t sound like anything we’ve ever done before” and “the new record falls back towards the first.” Take those two statements, add “Lights”–their first release from Interpol– divide by overcoming adversity and you get a no contest spot on this list. It certainly can’t be boring and stuff, right? -Jeremy Larson

Kanye West – Good Ass Job

If you take much stock in the comments of fellow rappers and the recently revealed first single “Power”, Kanye West is back to doing what Kanye West does best — good ol’ fashion raps behind equally thrilling samples and beats. Tentatively titled Good Ass Job, the Chicago rapper’s fifth LP promises to be a throw back affair, one which hears Kanye abandoning the Auto-Tune of 808s & Heartbreak in favor of the styles that made him into the hip-hop super force that he is today. There’s also guests a plenty, with everyone from Q-Tip and Kid Cudi to Mr Hudson and Soulja Boy said to be making an appearance. And if all that hype wasn’t enough, Drake is already calling the record “one of the best hip-hop albums of the last 10 years.” Time will tell about that, but, at the very least, this is going to be one captivating listen. -Alex Young

Les Savy Fav – TBA

Woods, LCD Soundsystem, and Superchunk are synonymous with the labels they are on, Woodsist, DFA, and Merge respectively, because they (or their members) are the owners. Les Savy Fav also holds this distinction, but flies under the radar in this class because its focal point is larger than life singer Tim Harrington, not Frenchkiss owner and bassist Syd Butler (their acts include The Dodos, The Hold Steady and Passion Pit). The five-piece will return in September with a still untitled follow-up to Let’s Stay Friends that Butler told NME will be “heavier” than the previous record, with the sound going back to the 90’s, to which Harrington added “we’re trying to get back to when we didn’t have any friends.” Judging from new songs CoS heard at their recent LA show, “Outta Here” and “Appetites”, it’s not hard to imagine falling in love with this band all over again. -Phil Cosores

Mark Ronson & The Business – Record Collection

It’s been a few years since Mark Ronson focused on his solo career. Following his 2007 acclaimed cover album Version, the English artist has mostly stayed busy by serving as a producer for the likes of Nas, the Kaiser Chiefs, Adele, and Daniel Merriweather. However, this year promises to see Mark Ronson, now accompanied with the backing band The Business Intl., at center stage again. Titled Record Collection, Ronson’s third album is also his first of all originals in seven years. The first single, “Bang Bang Bang”, features Q-Tip on rapping duties and MNDR, Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ touring keyboard player, on vocals. (Both that song and another new track, “Circuit Breaker,” can be found on his official website.) The record will also include appearances by Boy George, The Drums’ Jonathan Pierce, Kaiser Chiefs’ Nick Hodgson, and Miike Snow. -Joe Marvilli

Of Montreal – False Priest

Kevin Barnes, Of Monreal’s flamboyant frontman, has kept uncharacteristically quiet about the band’s new album, its first since 2008’s Skeletal Lamping. Here’s what we know. The band teamed up with veteran producer Jon Brion, who has worked with everyone from Kanye West to Elliott Smith in the past, for False Priest, tentatively due in September.  The quintet recorded the disc at L.A.’s Ocean Way Studios, where the Beach Boys cut “Good Vibrations”. Song titles include “Enemy Gene”, “Famine Affair”, and “Teenage Unicorn Fisting” (we shudder to imagine the lyrics for that one). Most enticingly, Solange Knowles, Beyoncé’s sis and longtime buddy, recorded with the band, so expect her to make an appearance or two. -Ray Padgett

Panda Bear – Tomboy

Animal Collective was sooo 2009. But vocalist Noah Lennox, aka Panda Bear, will keep his crew on the radar when he releases his fourth solo album in September, titled Tomboy. Details are still being held under wraps, but we do know a series of singles, including the title track in July, will precede the record. But whether you see this as the followup to his beloved album Person Pitch (the album beat LCD Soundsystem’s Sound Of Silver for #1 on Pitchfork’s 2007 album of the year list) or as the followup to last year’s inescapable release Meriwether Post Pavilion, the expectations are probably through the roof. Can’t wait? Go to YouTube and search for his performance clips from the Primavera Sound Festival where he performed almost exclusively new tracks, including “Drone” and “Surfers Hymn”. -Phil Cosores

The Walkmen – TBA

The Walkmen and The National are like opposite sides of the same coin. Both New York based, with singers who exude cool without really trying. Both bands combine instantly recognizable voices with technically adventurous yet unassuming backing bands, five pieces strong, and filled with people with long-term connections. Prior to this year, both had four albums of original material, have been shifting from rockers to more moody material, and find general acclaim from the critics. So will the upcoming untitled album from The Walkmen, speculated for a September release date, be as successful as High Violet? Doubtful. Who knows why one band is given the key to the city while the other is examined for chinks in their armor, but The Walkmen don’t let their music sound like underdog fair. And with dates at Reading & Leeds and Lollapalooza scheduled, having something to prove may be their greatest asset. -Phil Cosores

Antony & The Johnsons – Swanlights

With Antony & The Johnsons, you are either along for the ride, or you are not. If you want to look into its new album, Swanlights, on the band’s official website, you will encounter the image of two men jailed for homosexuality in Malawi, Antony’s personal environmental concernsm and news of the death of Kazuo Ohno, the Japanese dancer who appears on the cover of their last album, 2009’s The Crying Light. This is not light reading, and Antony Hagarty’s music is not light listening, but it is often beautiful and reflects a point of view generally ignored in the arts. Antony uses his warbly voice for more than singing, and on October 6th, we will see what the record, alone with the accompanying 144 page art book featuring Antony’s paintings, collages and writing, have to say. If history is any indicator, it will be worth seeking out. -Phil Cosores
October 5th via Secretly Canadian

Fleet Foxes – TBA

Fleet Foxes was, without question, one of 2008′s best albums and gave rise to not only the band, but a jump in the popularity of indie folk in general. Fleet Foxes set an unbelievably high standard for themselves, and anticipation will be appropriate for the band’s sophomore effort. They’ve said it will be rawer, as well as less poppy and upbeat than the first album. While that likely means no more songs like “Ragged Wood”, “Blue Ridge Mountains”, and “He Doesn’t Know Why”, it is comforting to know the band is recording honest material. Unless the band is just pulling an MGMT and disowning pop to be contrarian; after all, Robin Pecknold has shown in the past to be very unwilling to enter the mainstream. Either way, while the last bit of new information we have is an evil little MySpace blog post from January reading “Progress is being made,” the album is planned for the early- or mid-second half of the year. -Harry Painter

Tron: The Original Soundtrack

It’s time I leveled with you. I’m what you guys call a User…er…Tron nerd. My geek factor is so through the roof with this I  don’t think I can even write in complete sentences from here on out. Remake of Tron? How about yeah! Amazing trailer? How about of course! Jeff Bridges is in it? How about shut the hell up! Oh and you know what? What! Daft Punk is scoring the entire movie. Je t’encule! Incredible. So there’s the hype. There’s also a purported tour supporting Tron and purported cameo in Daft Punk will make in Tron and the fact that this will be some of the first new Daft Punk we’ll be hearing in like half a decade. A caveat: publicists for Daft Punk aren’t even sure if it’s going to be a 2010 release, but here’s hoping they come in close. End of line. -Jeremy Larson
December?

Belle & Sebastian – TBA

If any band needed a break, it was Belle and Sebastian. After releasing seven albums in 10 years and touring relentlessly behind The Life Pursuit, the T-Rex influenced record that many considered the band’s finest since The Boy With The Arab Strap, the Glasgow popsters took a four year break and are just now emerging with a full tour schedule for the U.S. in the fall, including rumored appearances at the Matador at 21 and Treasure Island Festivals. Oh yeah, and they are curating Bowlie 2 for ATP in December. But when will the album be released? If you have been waiting patiently since 2006, a little while longer shouldn’t hurt. We do know that they are in LA putting the final touches on it, and I would bet releasing it sometime from their fall tour to ATP is in the cards. -Phil Cosores

Dr. Dre – Detox

Detox is one of the most anticipated albums of the past decade, but lately it’s become something of a running joke. No one — not even it’s producers — knows if it’ll ever come out, but hopes are still high. Hopefully it’s not hip-hop’s version of Chinese Democracy. In a Sirus XM radio interview, Scott Storch – whose name plasters the credits on Dre’s Chronic 2001 – said “Detox is a departure from stuff Dre and I have done it the past” and that the doc was looking for “three more records” until he finally releases the damn thing. He added that, “it should take about 400 records to get three. He has pretty high standards.” No shit. No word on whether this thing will actually drop, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed. In the meantime, start saving up for the inevitable super deluxe version that comes with a pair of Beats headphones. -Ray Roa

Jenny and Johnny – I’m Having Fun Now

Even though it’ll always be ladies first in this relationship, we’re sure that Jonathan Rice doesn’t mind riding the coattails of his girlfriend’s popularity on this still untitled recording. In fact, one could argue that, in this instance, the 27-year-old Rice might be the brain behind the beauty. He wrote the Elvis Costello collaboration “Carpetbaggers” from Lewis’ sophomore release, Acid Tongue, and Costello liked singing his part so much that he invited the duo to work on his own 2008 album, Momofuku. No release date has been set, so for now you’ll just have to catch the lovebirds when they support Pavement and play a show with Superchunk in September. -Ray Roa

Justice – TBA

Even though the Paris-based duo been accused of being dance music’s MIlli Vanilli, fans are still eagerly awaiting their next proper LP. Justice‘s last album was 2007’s “disco-opera” — † — and a 2008 live disc/documentary barely satiated a thirst for new music. Last year, they won a Grammy for remixing MGMT’s “Electric Feel”, and tapped the newly reformed Elektra Records to handle stateside distribution of this still untitled record. God knows what it will sound like, but let’s hope it’s gets us dancing. -Ray Roa

The always present threat of a new Radiohead album

We know Radiohead has made substantial progress on its upcoming eighth album, but we don’t know much else. But as curious as we are about Phil Selway’s solo record, a Radiohead album without details is more exciting than 99% of albums that will come out this year, including his. We can probably expect this thing to be out before the end of the year, but no way it comes out before Selway’s late-August release. We can also only speculate on how it will sound, but if “These Are My Twisted Words” tells us anything, it’s that Radiohead is weird again! Add to that Ed O’Brien tossing around words like “different” and “new,” and it sounds at face value like another successful Radiohead album. -Harry Painter
