What to Look Out for in 2010:

David Cooper runs down upcoming releases (Updated 1/31/10).

Here’s my attempt to gather most of the upcoming releases for this year. I’m really excited for The Avalanches, Flying Lotus, Broadcast, Panda Bear, Battles, Growing and the new Animal Collective-scored film, Oddsac. Currently, I can’t stop listening to the Beach House album that just came out this week, so I would recommend that if you haven’t heard it yet. My apologies if I forgot something. This should be a great year for music. Cheers!
