This Is Next Year: A Brooklyn-Based Compilation

This Is Next Year is a compilation album released July 17, 2001, by Arena Rock Recording Co.

Interpol, The Walkmen, and French Kicks all released debut albums within a year of This Is Next Year's release. Contributing artists were largely from neighborhoods near to the bridges between Brooklyn and Manhattan.

According to Time Out, who interviewed several contributors and the owner of Arena Rock, the album was evidence of a "musical renaissance" Brooklyn had been experiencing since the late 1990s.
