Rough Trade Album of the Month Club - December 2013 Pack

Core album: Toy - Join the Dots + Bonus Disc - 8/10. Toy's debut was Album of the month in 2012. This is possibly the first time in the club's history that the same artist manged this. Whether an album is repeated or not doesn't bother me - as long as it's a good one and Join the Dots is a worthy follow up! 8/10 bEEdEEgEE - Sum One - pretty good kooky electro pop 8/10 Samantha Crain - Kid Face + Bonus Disc - pretty good folk. 8/10 Jan - Tom the Lion Feb - Temples March - Metronomy I hope I'm proved wrong

Rough Trade Album of the Month Club -November 2013 Pack

No complaints Core Album: Connan Mockasin - Caramel * Bonus Disc - 7.5/10 I received Mockasin's debut through the club. Polica - Shulamith - 8/10. I also received the debut via the club. Lily & Madeleine- 9/10. Excellent. One of the best debuts I've heard this year. December - not a clue. It would be weird if Toy are featured as the core album a second time round though.

Rough Trade Album of the Month Club - August 2013 pack.

Can't complain about this month Core album is Satellites - 02 + Bonus cd. 8/10. An excellent followup to this guy's debut. A little bit more melodic but still grandiose. Houndstooth - Ride out the Dark - 9/10. Fantastic debut. Absolutely perfect. Alela Diane - About Farewell - 7.5. Back in 2007 Alela Diane's debut was the core album. This one isn't as good as the Pirate's Gospel but the last three songs are amazing. plus I received a Domino Records sampler! next month - Factory Floor????
