It's madness how much new music is announced and/or released in March!
Take a look at a couple releases from last month, who's releasing albums this month and some albums that are slated to be released in the months to come.
Canadian indie-electronic duo, HUMANS dropped their first official album last week on February 24th via Hybridity Music. Get the party started today with Noontide: available on itunes and on HUMANS' website, dashumans.com.
The sassy, stylish singer/songwritter/party starter MNDR teamed up with Sweet Vally (Wavves' Nathan Williams and his brother Kynan) to bring us 5 songs on the EP, Dance 4 A Dolla.
The dark, yet catchy club-pop EP was also released last week on February 24th.
Purity Ring's hauntingly romantic, eerily whimsical Synthpop seems to have gone a little more mainstream on Another Eternity out yesterday, March 3rd. The Canadian duo still have a distinct dreamy, trance sound on their sophomore album but more pronounced vocals heard on it may broaden their audience.
Listen for yourself, I'd love to hear what you think.
Arcade Fire's Will Butler is releasing his first "solo" album, Policy featuring AF's Jeremy Gara drummer on March 10th. Will's debut album is brought to us by Merge records which is the same label that Arcade Fire is on.
It will be interesting to see what loyal Arcade Fire fanatics think of this venture.
Modest Mouse haven't had a new album since 2007's We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank but that will change on March 17th!
The band is set to release their long awaited 6th studio album , Strangers to Ourselves this St. Patrick's Day. Can't wait? Place your pre-order today!
San Francisco transplants, Geographer will release Ghost Modern on March 24th. The band has already debuted a single off of their upcoming third album, "Need" and they're already touring in support of the new album!
Ben Gibbard has been busy recording new Death Cab For Cutie music since announcing that his project, The Postal Service would permanently disband after the band's 2013 reunion tour. Kintsugi, the 8th album from Death Cab drops at the end of the month on March 31st. See them live at The Greek Theater in Berkeley on July 11th! 
Here's hottie with a body, Kim shaking her tail feather in the video for the first single, "Hey Now", from the upcoming album. Get ready to bust a move with the duo because they're hitting the road in April! Catch Matt & Kim at The Warfield in SF on May 2nd!
Alabama Shakes is already on tour in support of their sophomore album, Sound & Color out on April 20th/21st.
They'll be at The Greek Theater in Berkeley a few days before the new album drops on April 11th!
This is pretty cool: Passion Pit is offering instant digital copies of their new singles, "Lifted Up (1985)" and "Where the Sky Hangs" from their upcoming new album from Kindered also out on April 21st. Keep an eye out for show announcements because these guys sure do love the festival circuit! They're on the bill for a bunch of Music Festivals all over the place including BottleRock Napa Valley on May 30th.
The rumor mill has been spinning with releases that will hopefully happen this year!
- Ratatat: Last year the homepage of their website stated they were working on new music and the experimental electronic rock duo has a a handful of shows lined up but there's still no confirmed word on a new album.
- The Dead Weather : We all know Jack White is a busy guy but The Dead Weather's third album, which was suppose to be released in 2014 still doesn't have a 2015 release date, what a "Buzzkill(er)".
- Deftones: Front man Chino Moreno has confirmed that the band is working on a new album. It will be the first album following the passing of bassist Chi Cheng.
- Fun.: Last month on Facebook Fun. confirmed that they are NOT breaking up but unfortunately the band is not working on new music despite the high demand for it. As Nate works on his first solo album, Jack's continuous pursuit with Bleachers and Andrew scoring films, Fun. fans should keep their fingers crossed that the band will be back with a new album soon!
- Dr. Dre: 2013's Detox never dropped but there has been buzz around Dre releasing an album, appropriately titled Not Detox sometime this year.
- Dr. Dre: 2013's Detox never dropped but there has been buzz around Dre releasing an album, appropriately titled Not Detox sometime this year.
- Gwen Stefani: The hot mama released the single "Spark the Fire" late last year and No Doubt is touring a lot this year.... do you think that means new albums?!
There's much more in store down the road of course, but until then, happy listening!
