There's a couple albums that have just been announced as being released next year (be it international albums finally making it into America or releases in general) that you guys may be interested in.
Recently crowned British pop princess Kate Nash is finally seeing her album Made of Bricks hit the States, coming out January 22nd on Geffen Records. You probably know her from her song "Foundations" (found below) and even though it's a bit more pop than most of my music tastes lean, for some reason her album has been on constant rotation on my computer for the past couple of months now. There's just something about innocent-looking girls singing pop songs and using moderately vulgar language ("Why you being a dickhead for? / Stop being a dickhead") in catchy pop songs that just does it for me (and for those of you who want to be able to listen to music like this but fear for your indie cred, you can listen to SoKo instead).
She'll be touring America in January, which will include what I only naturally assume a Los Angeles date. You can find the video for "Foundations" below.
British electro-rock outfit (leaning a bit more towards the former than the latter) Does It Offend You, Yeah? have announced that they'll be releasing their full-length album in April of next year through Almost Gold Records. Have they given us any more details? No. But considering how their first single "We Are Rockstars" swept through clubs and dance parties when it first came out, you can be almost assured that next spring, their newer songs will be slaying anorexic club kids once again.
