Monthly Top 5 Albums - October 2012

this month has gone from ambient music for bedtime (Will Samson), to a folk instrumental gone loud (Balmorhea) and then to frankly loud aussie psychedelia (Tame Impala). with that came another record produced by the same australians but performed by a french artist (Melody’s Echo Chamber). this last month has been fruitful in terms new releases. just to add confusion to my eclectic tastes, i’ll add the french turntable group C2C.

Will Samson - Balance (2012)
Balmorhea - Stranger(2012)
Tame Impala - Lonerism (2012)
Melody’s Echo Chamber - Melody’s Echo Chamber (2012)

AM: Tame Impala - Elephant

The second track from Lonerism to make its way into our ear canals.  It’s becoming harder and harder to wait until October…
