been a good year for me but October seems to be shaping up insanely well for my ears, if not for my wallet.

Particular highlights for me are -

Son Lux - Lanterns - pre ordered this today
https://soundcloud.com/joyful-noise-recordings/son-lux-lost-it-to-trying

Mariam the Believer - Blood Donation - (solo album by the wildbirds & peacedrums singer) already in my top 5 albums of the year so far after its nordic release but will have to grab on viny when released here.

Tim Hecker - Virgins

Dismemberment Plan - Uncanney Valley

Sebastian Plano - Impetus

Piano Interrupted - The Unified Field

The Blow - The Blow

but there's also - glasser/ polica/ arcade fire/ born gold/ clap your hands say yeah/ yuck/oneohtrix point never/quasi/of montreal/ cass mccombs/ blitzen trapper/ teen daze/ los campesinos.

any more?
