It looks like 2023 might be an exciting year for me in terms of new music. Already there’s been a new Belle & Sebastian LP. In April there’s a new album from Daughter and Everything but the Girl. Later there’s new music from Depeche Mode, M83, Peter Gabriel, The National, Frankie Rose, and Slowdive.

A couple of these albums are unannounced, but I’m really hoping for new music from The National and Slowdive.

Maybe there’ll be some other discoveries along the way, but perhaps the logjam of the COVID years is over and new music will emerge.
