Upcoming Releases

Every month, I'll give a little summary of upcoming releases for the next month which are being hotly anticipated by us lil' monkeys over here. As it is possible to get most stuff on import, I won't be including anything like that on here. For example, Sound Team's excellent Movie Monster album will not be on here as despite its U.K release date only being this month, I have had it for some time.

So here is the inaugural selection for September:

(mostly British release dates but any only available on import (for us Brits) will be indicated for my homeboys/girls)


Sept. 4th
Grizzly Bear - Yellow House
Ray Lamontagne - Till The Sun Turns Black (import only)

Especially looking forward to new Joseph Arthur album after seeing his ridiculously great live show last year.

For a more comprehensive list, visit the fabulous Metacritic. Any I have missed may/may not have been missed on purpose. Therefore, due to this enigmatic and unsolvable dilemma and lack of culpability, I cannot be blamed. YES!! I win again!!

Seriously though, if there are any other really cool albums not mentioned on Metacritic or here coming out in September, don't hesitate to drop me a line.
