Rough Trade Album Club - March 2013 Pack

If any of you know, the RT Album club is dead and has been replaced by something called Albums by Adventure. Unfortunately as I am not a UK resident, I cannot subscribe. However all the albums of the month are displayed so I will choose the core album and two others. I'm not happy with this but it's all I can do for now. Core album: John Grant - Pale Green Ghosts + 2 bonus discs. 8/10 Jacco Gardner - Cabinet of Curiousities 7/10 Caitlin Rose - The TSand In + Bonus Disc 7.5/10 Core album for April is The Knife :)

Rough Trade Album Club - December 2012 Pack

Last one of the year Core Album Rachel Zeffiera - The Deserters + Bonus Disc 8/10 - took me by Surprise Lindstrom - Smallhans - 8/10 The Allah-La's - Self-Titled 8/10 Quality all around. I have a feeling that next month's artist is Serafin Steer but I have to admit I secretly wish that the Berberian Sound Studio Soundtrack will be in my Jan pack.

Rough Trade Album Club - October 2012 Pack

Second strong month in a row! Core Album Tame Imapala - Lonerism + bonus disc of live tracks and remixes 9/10 easily one of the best albums I've heard this year. The rest Daphni - Jiaolong 8/10 Caribou's rave side project Dark Dark Dark - Who Needs Who 7/10 not as good as the previous album Wild Go but maybe in a few months my opinion will change. November hmmmm Stubborn Heart??
