Rough Trade Album of the Month Club January 2017 Pack

Ah so it's the last 3 cd pack i'll get from the club. From now on we'll receive one cd. A bit sad and this month' selection was a bit weak. Core album: Elinor Rose Dougall - Stellular + Bonus cd. 7/10. It's a solid pop record. Nadine Khouri - The Slated Air. 7/10. It's ok. Singer/songwriter Big Fresh - Life Dollars. 7.5/10. Pleasant west coast style pop. Next up: February: Lift to Experience March: The Big Moon

Rough Trade Album of the Month Club December 2016

So there are big changes for the club. As form February I will not be receiving 3 cds, rather 1 cd and the magazine. I am a bit bummed but it also means that I get a bit more freedom when choosing some more albums from the 10 monthly cds. So I admit I did not have enough time to absorb this month's pack due to my busy schedule and being sick did not help either. Core album Thee Oh Sees - An Odd Entrances + bonus cd. 7/10 Proggy garage. It's ok but this years A Weird Exits was better. Slowcoaches - Nothing Gives 7/10 - fuzzed up indie pop - yay!! Angelina - Vagabond Saint - 8/10. My fave of the month. Groovy country.
