5/6 of the year has past, and October has some of the best music of it all. Lord Huron tops my favorite releases of October, by far. I've also enjoyed the new Tift Merritt, Sea Wolf, Dum Dum Girls, Andrew Bird, Freelance Whales, Mountain Goats, and Tame Impala. Much of this I've covered throughout the month.
Ben Gibbard's solo release is also quite good, and I've downloaded a few tracks of that from various websites. And A.C. Newman has some incredibly catchy music on his solo album, total indie pop, but add some Neko Case and remember why it's so damn good. And Shiny Toy Guns is yet another new release...so much music for October.
New releases will slow down as we near the end of the year, though we'll start receiving glimmers of the albums due to come out in 2013. Already? My New in 2012 playlist is filling up, and my goal in November is to identify some of the tracks I may have missed.
