Robot HeadYesterday afternoon Pitchfork posted The Pitchfork Guide to Upcoming Releases: Summer ‘08, a massive listing of albums to watch for in the coming months.

Of course, there’s no way any one person can feasibly pay attention to everything they’ve mentioned (let alone any one person who needs to work for a living!)—hell, I have a hard enough time keeping up with local indie stuff. For that reason, I’ve created my own tiny list (most of which will likely be represented on Pitchfork’s, but might not stand out among the hundreds of albums accounted for).

Here are some of the releases I’ll be watching out for:

July 8:Women - Women (Flemish Eye)
July 8:Matt Mays & El Torpedo - Terminal Romance (Sonic Records)
July 8:Vancougar - Canadian Tuxedo (Mint)

July 15:Ghostkeeper - The Great Northern Muskeg (Saved By Radio)

July 22:Broken Social Scene Presents: Brendan Canning - Something for All of Us… (Arts & Crafts)

Aug 19:Human Highway - Moody Motorcycle (Secret City)
Aug 19:The Stills - Oceans Will Rise (Arts & Crafts)

Sept 09: Chad VanGaalen - Soft Airplane (Flemish Eye)

Sure, it’s not nearly as big in scope as Pitchfork’s, but much more manageable for one lone, pro-bono blogger to handle.

Women - Black Rice
(from their upcoming self-titled debut)

The Stills - Being Here (from the upcoming Oceans Will Rise)

    … didn’t realize Chad VanGaalen had a new album coming (although it was about time)…

    Thanks for the heads up.
