If you’ve been thinking recently that 2013 has been a bit underwhelming so far in terms of big new albums, then September might just put it right. Autumn is generally a good time for new albums, as bands who opted to not release new LPs before the festivals now gear up for a big release ‘cycle’ before Christmas – which tends to include a spate of tour announcements.
September 2013 seems particularly crazy though, with new albums from huge bands like Arctic Monkeys, Kings Of Leon, Nine Inch Nails, Goldfrapp, Babyshambles and Manic Street Preachers rubbing shoulders on the schedule with exciting debut albums from the likes of CHVRCHES, HAIM, Black Onassis, Factory Floor, NO CEREMONY///, London Grammar and The Strypes. Throw in new albums from Janelle Monae, Yuck, The Weeknd, MGMT, Mark Lanegan and Justin Timberlake and we have a month chock full of massive albums – God only knows how I’m going to review them all!
I’ve listed all the albums in the below slideshow, where you can also preorder them. Here’s to a great month of brilliant new albums!
