Agenda: Les albums du printemps à ne pas manquer !
C'est le printemps ! Au cas où vous ne l'auriez pas remarqué malgré la pluie, le printemps est parmi nous, certains reprennent leurs scooters sous les hurlements de leur famille, on a envie de manger des glaces, on limite les clopes, on tente un régime avant l'été, on change de garde-robe bref on colorise un peu nos vies après ce long (et froid) hiver. En règle générale aussi, on a le droit à de bons disques : un brin plus légers, un brin plus frais,un brin moins mélancolique et pesant. Si la saison pré-printanière a bien commencé avec les belles confirmation (She and Him, Volume 2) et les excellentes nouveautés (Two Door Cinema Club). Du coup, je me suis dit que j'allais regarder et vous balancer le Pitchfork Guide to Upcoming Releases sorte d'encyclopédie des sorties du printemps. Et comme je suis sympa, je balance quelques clips cools ou premier single et je mets en gras les albums que j'attend le plus car mine de rien on s'y perd. On commence par un petit clip de She and Him d'ailleurs du duo entre la (belle) actrice Hollywoodienne Zooey Deschanel et le touche-à-tout de Monsters of Folk, M. Ward.

Bien sûr dans cet article le plus long du monde, j'ai surligné et mis en gras les nouveaux albums d'artistes que je connais dont j'ai écouté les précédents ou les singles cela ne veut en aucun cas dire que ces albums seront meilleurs, qu'on ne va pas découvrir des nouveaux groupes dans cette liste qui seront meilleurs, plus frais. C'est probablement le plus excitant, être déçu par des artistes qu'on a aimé et découvrir d'autres artistes sortis du fin fond de je-ne-sais-quoi, d'autant que sur cette scène les bonnes surprises sont de mise.
