After the blockbusting month of album releases that was September, this month’s schedule doesn’t look quite as impressive. Other than Arcade Fire’s potentially huge Reflektor, there’s nothing that immediately catches the eye. Take a closer look though and there’s plenty of interesting albums to get excited about in October.
From the return of Sleigh Bells and Cage The Elephant to the always challenging Warp favourite Kwes, there should be something new to get you going. If not, there’s always Paul McCartney’s ‘New’ album!
