ok. So, for the second time in as many years, a new Avalanches album has made the Home & Hosed‘s Album’s of the new year list.

And here’s hoping that they actually do put out a new album this year, some 11 or so years after their debut.

Anyway, enough of the Avalanches anxiety. There are some pretty exciting albums on this list.

The ones I’m looking most forward to are:

FEB – Cut Copy – Zonoscope (Modular/Universal)

MAR – Collarbones – Iconography (Two Bright Lakes/Remote Control), The Little Stevies – Attention Shoppers (Independent), Oh Mercy – Great Barrier Grief (Capitol/EMI)

APR – Mike Noga – The Balladeer Hunter (TBC)

JUNE – Nick Huggins – TBA (Two Bright Lakes/Remote Control)

AUG – Big Scary – TBA (Independent)

NO MONTH YET – Alpine – TBA (Ivy League), The Avalanches – TBA (Modular/Universal), Jonathan Boulet – TBA (Modular/Universal), Geoffrey O’Connor – TBA (Chapter Music), The Grates – TBA (Dew Process/Universal), Gotye – TBA (Independent/Eleven), Jack Ladder – TBA (Spunk/EMI), The Middle East – TBA (Spunk/EMI), No Device – The Devil Makes Work For Idle Hands (Independent), Pnau – Soft Universe (Warner Music), Rat Vs Possum – TBA (Sensory Projects), Seekae – TBA (Rice Is Nice), The Twerps – TBA (Chapter Music), World’s End Press – TBA (Love & Mercy)

And of course, some music, to get you in the mood.
