A couple that I'm really looking forward too:

Engineers: Their second album (Three Fact Fader) comes out July 6th. Easily my favorite British band of the last few years, though due to problems with their label, it seemed like it took forever for this album to progress towards being released. Psychedelic shoegazing rock with fantastic production values.

Joe Henry: Underrated American artist who, in my mind belongs alongside Tom Waits and Bob Dylan as the best singer/songwriters currently recording: his catalog over the last decade has produced about six supurb albums, and he always got great collaborators: the upcoming album (Blood from Stars, August 16) boasts Marc Ribot and Jason Moran, and promises a bluesier direction. He's had a great year, as he's already produced three critically acclaimed albums (Allan Toussaint, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Madeleine Peyroux), and I have high hopes for Blood from Stars.
