Super Septmeber!

So many great releases in one month, could easily do a handful of top 3s!

  1. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree
  2. The Caretaker - Everywhere at the end of time
  3. Petrels - Jörð

Really liking the excellent Moses Sumney EP, Nicolas Jaar’s LP keeps growing on me with every listen, plus enjoying in their own ways: Bon Iver, Preccupations, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Suzanne Ciani, Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam. Not heard Biosphere or Eluvium yet, oh and Schmilco is alright too.

  1. Angel Olsen - My Woman
  2. Teenage Fanclub - Here
  3. Divine Comedy - Foreverland

Just got the Jenny Hval record, only listened to it once so far and I think it might take a while for me to make up my mind about it…

Love the Angel Olsen album. The Teenage Fanclub album is completely unremarkable, but in a good way. It just sounds exactly like Teenage Fanclub. The new Divine Comedy is a bit of a drop off after his last few albums, but still fine if you like that sort of thing.

Please disregard Jepsen’s record (it was released last month) and include Nick Cave.

Superb month, most of these could probably be interchangeable.

  1. Beach Slang - A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings
  2. Doe - Some Things Last Longer Than You

Last Ditch
Sincere

3 Every Time I Die - Low Teens
4. Of Mice and Men - Cold World
5. Cymbals Eat Guitars - Pretty Years

Other good albums from this month: Izzy Bizu, Mac Miller, Pixies, Big Jesus, Slaves, Danny Brown ( was disappointed with Pixies on first listen but multiple plays reveals it to be a solid album…it just doesn’t live up to their earlier work)
