1. Tim hecker- Ravedeath 1972
In a month of diversity, Tim Hecker's Ravedeath 1972 is the stand-out, beautiful and ornate, designed to be much more than an ambient album but a refreshing soundtrack to the most brutal and sad mundane small town movie. It's truly an adventure through a forgotten wasteland. Like Winter's Bone but without the heroine. No Video's I'm afraid but... give this a listen.
2. Lia Ices- Grown Unknown
Underrated gem of a record, sadly missed off critics end of years...
3. Bright Eyes- peoples key
Refreshing return for Oberst and Mogis' ever changing posse.

Another Excellent release from Not Not Fun/Weird World
5. Gruff rhys- hotel shampoo
It's Gruff Rhys! Need I Say More!

It's Mogwai! Need I Say More!

See Above.... It's Trail of The Dead
