Spring 2017 Music Preview: 40 Noteworthy Albums
The next few months will bring the first albums in over a decade from The Jesus and Mary Chain, Roger Waters, and At the Drive-In plus new releases from Drake, Spoon, Beck, Father John Misty, Feist, Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp, Aimee Mann, The New Pornographers, and more. Below, browse 40 of the most notable releases due between now and mid-May.
The most recent album from Scottish guitar band legends Jesus and Mary Chain? Why that would be Munki, released back in 1998. (Though Sister Vanilla's 2005 album Little Pop Rock could almost pass for a Mary Chain record, albeit one with Linda Reid front and center rather than her better-known brothers Jim and William.) JAMC actually reunited a decade ago, and have toured off and on since, but no new music surfaced until this year. The 14-song album was produced by Youth (working with the band for the first time), and its first two singles suggest that nothing much has changed in the past 18 years. (That's a good thing.)
