… And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, X: The Godless Void and Other Stories , Jan. 17
When Trail of Dead announced they would take a hiatus after releasing their ninth album, it felt like the right time. They’d been at it for 20 years, and they sure deserved the break. Their return is also nicely timed — I have to say I’ve missed them.
Ben Watt, Storm Damage , Jan. 31
I’m still somewhat surprised Ben Watt has spent his post-Everything But the Girl solo career thus far being a troubadour.
Neneh Cherry, Raw Like Sushi (Deluxe Edition), Jan. 31
I came around to this album quite late, but I’m glad to see it get some deluxe treatment.
CHARA+YUKI, echo , Feb. 14
The closest thing we’ll get to a MEAN MACHINE reunion.
Onitsuka Chihiro, REQUIEM AND SILENCE , Feb. 20
Onitsuka Chihiro commemorates the 20th anniversary of her debut with yet another compilation, this one spanning three major labels.
Sam Sparro, Boombox Eternal , Feb. 21
If the pre-release single “Everything” reflects the remainder of the album, I’m on board.
Clannad, In a Lifetime Anthology , March 13
I probably don’t need this anthology given the depth of my Clannad collection, but I wait eagerly for news of US dates on their farewell tour.
LOVE PSYCHEDELICO, 20th Anniversary Box , March 25
Another band celebrating their 20th anniversary is LOVE PSYCHEDELICO. The 20th Anniversary Box compiles 4 CDs of singles, a Blu Ray or DVD of the duo’s acoustic tour, an LP of acoustic recordings and a score book. I’m tempted by the score book alone. The singles collection will also be sold separately (COMPLETE SINGLES 2000-2019 ), and the acoustic recordings will be released on vinyl (TWO OF US Acoustic Recording Session at VICTOR STUDIO 302 .)

Kim Gordon, No Home Record, Oct. 11
Kim Gordon’s music career spans numerous decades, but only now does she release a solo album. Of course I’m curious.
The Police, Every Move You Make: The Studio Recordings, Nov. 8
I bought a used copy of Message in a Box , so I really don’t need this set. I want it, but I don’t need it.
Shiina Ringo, Newton no Ringo ~Hajimete no Best Ban~ , Nov. 13
Many popular Japanese artists release multiple career-spanning retrospectives. Shiina Ringo releases her first after 20 years.
Sam Amidon, Fatal Flower Garden EP , Nov. 15
Billed as “A Tribute to Harry Smith,” this 4-track, 7-inch EP features Amidon performing songs from Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music .
Clannad, In a Lifetime Anthology , March 13, 2020
No details have emerged yet of this career-spanning compilation, but the Brennans embark on a farewell tour to support it. They will be missed.
Vinyl
Everything But the Girl, Walking Wounded, Nov. 8
Yes, please. Thank you.
Shiina Ringo, Sandokushi , Dec. 11
Rule of thumb for Shiina Ringo vinyl releases: place a pre-order because they will be gone.
