HIDDEN UPCOMING ALBUM GEMS (WINTER 2013)

We’ve got a diverse crowd at Has it Leaked, and with lots of genre-spanning albums being added each day, it’s easy to miss out on a few gems. There’s a flood of “Best of 2013”-lists on its way (like our own), and the albums announced right now are often not given any attention. And while we know there are lots of releases planned for 2014, few of those LPs have an actual title attached to them yet. And as you know, we only deal with confirmed album titles.

That’s why we compiled a list of upcoming titles we think deserve some extra attention. All of them have been announced fairly recently and includes either a Soundcloud or Youtube track for you to preview and decide if they are worth bookmarking. And since its difficult to cover all of the albums which deserves the Has it Leaked bump, add a link to the record you think deserves some love and attention, in the comments below.
