Well thank fuck for that, the international break is over. Apparently there were a few decent games, as I only watched the two England boreathons, I obviously missed them. Anyway the next three four weeks are where it's at, it's as if the season proper season starts.
Those games against Chelsea and City are going to show us where we really at under King Louis reign. Saying that, given our abysmal away record so far, and remember they were at Sunderland, Burnley, MK Dons and Leicester, can we be that confident of taking three points away from the Hawthorns. Let the roller coaster recommence.
Allah-Las - Worship the sun: The follow up to their excellent debut album ploughs a similar furrow, it may be nothing new, but as long as it's good, I've no problem with retro.
Aphex Twin - Syro: His first new album in over a decade, you can't really say it's been worth the wait, but it's excellent as almost everything he does is, one of my favourite recording artists.
Nat Birchall - Sacred Dimension: The Manchester jazz saxophonist's 2011 offering is even better than its predecessor Akhenaten. More than a touch of John Coltrane, can't get enough of that.
Natalie Merchant - Tigerlily: I wasn't a massive fan of 10'000 Maniacs, but liked some of their stuff, so when i saw the good reviews for this I wasn't sure if it would really be my thing. Glad I took the plunge, because it's a superior album of indie singer/songwriter offerings.
Sharon Van Etten - Are we there: Another female indie singer/songwriter, it's not as easy a listen as Merchant's Tigerlily but it has it's moments.
Sunlightsquare - King Yoruba: I'm not really sure how you'd categorise this, latin jazz/soul, even seventies film score almost other times, anyhow it ticks the right boxes for this listener.
The Black Keys - Turn Blue: The Ohio duo continue with thie rock/blues schtick, though it's a more commercial sound nowadays. It's not one of their very best, but that still leaves most of their competition trailing in their wake.Those games against Chelsea and City are going to show us where we really at under King Louis reign.

The Horrors - Luminous: The fourth album from the UK indie outfit, it's a solid enough effort, but they've not really progressed as far as you might have imagined they would.
