It doesn’t take long for the haze of the best of lists to wear off, leading to the search for something new. 2015 seems to be no different — it promises the return of so many of our all time favorite artists (and even a Radiohead rumor!) and untold great debuts and surprises that we have yet to discover.
We already have some great new music on the books for this year — with releases already set from the likes of Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, Father John Misty, Jose Gonzales and, of course, the long awaited return of Sleater-Kinney. There are also some rumblings that Bjork (working with Arca and Haxan Cloak), Savages, Kanye West, Miguel and Frank Ocean are releasing new material! If even half the rumors are true, how can you not be excited!
