I think we can probably add The Band's self-titled album to the list of 2019 possible surround releases:

lacklustre's being kind Ralph, its been a terrible year so far! if the 2nd half of 2019 doesn't have a decent number of new releases (and one or two major hitters to raise surrounds' profile) it'll be the worst year for new surround releases since the doldrum years of 10 years ago, possibly even worse. where would we be without DV?
I prefer a much more positive outlook
The DV release flow steelydave so generously mentioned; the Doobies a little later; unknowns due to 50th anniversaries; the recent news on Atmos releases; and I feel confident even Sony has more of those 7” SACDs cocked and loaded.
So cheer up laddies the Summer of Surround Love is nearly here
, is what you'd call NEW MUSIC? That's my point.

Clinty, sounds to me like a bit of ennui is creeping in.....Not surprised you're not anticipating KC and TD ...you were NEVER a big prog rock fan to begin with...and my 'love affair' with it has likewise 'somewhat' diminished. And the fact that you don't watch movies...which IMO...have THE best surround around [even the more mudane ones] further limits your options.
And I will still cite to this day why surround remains in a niche rut ....... Except for a very few new releases which sport 5.1 or ATMOS remixes, POP/ROCK/JAZZ music has been critically shortchanged in the NEW music surround department.
So if one is NOT into prog rock or QUAD chestnuts from the late 60's or 70's, you're plumb out of luck.
And what doesn't help the situation further .... some of THE best selling artists of ALL times {M. Jackson, The Stones, B. Springsteen, Prince, Led Zep to name a very few] are absent from the 5.1 party [for wont of a better word].
So will ATMOS be a panacea in and of itself or will it be another feeble attempt by the majors to sell more music..and the hardware manufacturers to sell more equipment?
And sadly, if the majors have learned nothing from their past attempts at promulgating surround to the masses by carefully choosing what artists to highlight in this new format ...... what do you think will be the ultimate outcome?
And a bit or irony .... Of all the hardware sold today, Flatscreen TVs remain THE hottest item .... and yet 4K has been very slow to catch on with 3D BEING MORIBUND......And the amount of people who haven't even upgraded to Blu Ray would probably stagger the mind. Wonder if some of them are still using rotary telephones?
Oh this has been going on for too long now to actually annoy me
I'll just wait for a price drop (hey, I've just scored the GN'R box set for $49 yesterday [thank you, Snoody]!) or a 3-for-a-price-of-2 promo. Also, for every mammoth release there is a Dutton-Vocalion or Surroundmusic.one title, so that's cool, too 
That's what worries me, their last surround 'effort' (i.e. zero effort) was a crock of sh*t
, any fool can add rear reverb, and did As you may have gathered I was rather disappointed, especially as I really liked the album. maybe the stereo is one for playing through the SM2 once its all plumbed in
