2012 is already proving itself to be a big year for music. Among my highly anticipated followups of 2012 are followups from The Shins, Beach Fossils and Delta Spirit. Check out their sneak peaks and new releases.
The Shins–Port of Morrow
The Shins are arguably one of the biggest names in indie music. Since their 2001 debut, they’ve been nothing but consistent. Five years since they’ve released a full-length album, Port of Morrow might be the most highly anticipated album of this year. It’s due to drop March 20, but these early releases ought to tide us over for a bit.
Beach Fossils–Shallow
Beach Fossils is set to release a single “Shallow” which actually features two songs. So I guess that defeats the purpose of it being called a “single” but whatever. Pure, simple, clean beach rock. They’re great. Not that I’d expect anything less from Beach Fossils.
Delta Spirit–California
San Diego folk outfit Delta Spirit’s followup to History From Below is also scheduled to drop in March. They released their single “California” last month and it’s been a tad controversial. No doubt it’s a different direction for them but I personally like it. I’ve yet to hear anything of or pertaining to Delta Spirit that I didn’t like. See for yourself.
