Sorry if this duplicates another thread ... I did a quick search and couldn't find anything relevant.
So, if you have a heads up on new releases for this year post them here. I realize there are web sites with this information but I thought since we tend to have similar tastes in music this would be a more relevant list. Ideally these are confirmed release dates but bona fide rumours with a solid reference are good too.
Confirmed:
Mars Volta - Noctourniquet - March 27
Joseph Arthur - Redemption City - January 18, Delayed until midnight tonight because of SOPASTRIKE. This is free from <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.josepharthur.com">http://www.josepharthur.com</a><!-- m -->, payment is at the buyer's discretion
Paul McCartney - Kisses On The Bottom - Feb 7
Kathleen Edwards - Voyageur - January 17
Anticipated:
U2 - Songs of Ascent
Rush - Clockwork Angels
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Winter 2012
Garbage
Sigur Rós

Craig Finn - Clear Heart Full Eyes, 23rd January (here in the UK at least)
This is a solo album from the Hold Steady frontman. I have an advanced copy (actually, I somehow have two) and it's very interesting stuff, much more mellow than his work with the band but maintaining his great lyricism.

Definitely looking forward to the new M&S and, of course, the new work from Das Hips.

direwolf74 Wrote:Joel Plaskett Emergency- Scrappy Happiness (March 27)- this one is interesting in that the band is recording and releasing a song a week leading up to the official release of the physical album. Pretty cool stuff. They've already released the first song:

The Craig Finn album is definitely worth a look guys. I'm writing a review of it at the moment, but suffice it to say that if you like The Hold Steady and would appreciate a mellow version of their sound, this is the album for you.

Leonard Cohen's 'Old Ideas' has leaked and is streaming. Amazeballs. Can't believe this guy is 77 and putting out great albums still.
