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??

Rough Trade Album Club - June 2012 Pack

Pretty good actually Core Cd Friends - Manifest! + Bonus CD - 8/10 - took a while for me to warm to this one. The Smoke Fairies - Blood Speaks - 8/10 - more gutsy than the debut Crocodiles - Endless Flowers + bonus cd - 7/10 - its ok. Next month - I'm guessing Saint Saviour
