September HAS been an amazing month! Really enjoying the Slowdive album. The Lydia Loveless album is great, don’t know any of her earlier work so will have to do a bit of digging. I’m still absorbing Nation of Language but it’s growing on me.

Didn’t realize Woods had a new album so will check that out. And also really like the sound on that Hotel Pools video so will have to give that album a whirl.

A couple others that stand out from earlier in the month:

Jalen Ngonda - Come Around And Love Me

Dengue Fever - Ting Mong

And just today, new albums out from

Cherry Glazerr and Blonde Redhead, both of which are fantastic!!

What a month for new music. Thanks for your tips!!

Thanks for both of these recs as I've never heard of either and happy to dive in! I did get to that Cherry Glazerr record this weekend and love it so far. Needs a few more spins!

This month’s music has almost been overwhelming- a great problem to have of course!

Big for me: The Chemical Bros. (thanks for the tip!), Seablite’s “Lemon Lights,” Khruangbin & Men I Trust’s live record, and of course the remix of Tim. Not a new release per se, but man, it’s too good to leave off the list.

Haven't heard Seablite, but the cover is pulling me in!

I know we're both loving the Tim remix! I haven't written anything about it, but wondering if you can have a remix of a classic on a year-end list...

Seablite reminds me a LOT of Lush- more jangly, more dream pop-y, but I couldn’t shake it. Just a fantastic record all around!

I’ve got a quick write up of Tim coming Weds. Biggest challenge was to write more than “this record rips!” I’d normally say a remix doesn’t count, but I’m also pretty sure I’m going to carve out an exemption for this one.
