Please post some description on new albums that you are enjoying along with a sample song if possible. I'll kick it off here first........
Well obviously the new Arcade Fire album "Neon Bible" that comes out in March is getting the most HYPE and understandably so. I'll just post the website dedicated to the new album instead of a song.

Explosions in the Sky got done with the Friday NIght Lights soundtrack and began work on a new record. It has leaked and it sounds epic as usual, but with the addition of some piano it sounds even more depressing during the low parts. The opener is amazing and the guitars really soar. Don't be alarmed by the thunderous sound of the beginning. It scared me the first time I heard it. During the second half of the song things just take off like no song has in awhile. The guitar work and thunderous stampede of drums are amazing.

The new !!! album "Myth Takes" is coming out and is very exciting and DANCEY as expected. Talking Heads-ish at times. It's a PARTY album. Here is a shorter song to give you a taste:
All My Heroes Are Weirdos - http://download.yousendit.com/899634AC1E7FEBC7

The new Menomena album "Friend and Foe" leaked awhile back and is a very diverse and fun listen with various different sounds and multiple different lead singers. Here is a track that's definitely more in your face than most other songs they do.

Boris and Michio Kurihara (from Psych Japanese band "Ghost") decided to collaborate and this intrigueing album popped up. The guitar solos on this album OWN. Here is a description from another place on the web:
Michio Kurihara is one of Japan's most respected guitarists and this new work with Boris should give an insight into the latest inspirations for both artists, as these recordings are relatively recent. As we know Boris' collaborations are a way for the artists involved to expand their 'vision', so this will definitely be another worthy experience for all fans. Kurihara's passionate psychedelic guitar and delicate pop styles along with news that Wata sings and plays metalofone/glockenspiel on this release only increases the anticipation.
It's basically a drone-y Boris album with a big touch of psychedelia. The results are fantastic. Give this a listen if you like anything Boris-related.
Here is the opening song of which sounds absolutely gorgeous with epic spacey shoegazer guitar NOISE EXPLOSIONS. Sung in Japanese.........this song will shoot your ears into the heavens.

French duo Air is coming out with "Pocket Symphony". The new album features the use of Japanese instrumentation along with their normal Air-ish esthetic. The opening track is instrumental and is typical Air without the Japanese instrumentation:

Of course there are alot more 2007 albums I could go over, but this may be overkill to do all at once.............ENJOY!
And contributions are appreciated even if it's only one band..........
