The weather stayed hot but we still got a bunch of new music in October.
Jeff Tweedy and his bandmates return after a hiatus with brave, challenging music. Angel Olsen's All Mirrors delivered a compelling and unpredictable balancing act between the intimate and the epic in both vocal delivery and production. DIIV digs deeper into pain, addiction, and recovery on their grittily beautiful third album. Following the spacey, artful U.F.O.F. by only five months, Big Thief's Two Hands opts for a crisper, rawer, more jagged approach. Bodega shaved off the rough edges of the dance punk sound, replacing it with newfound sonic power. The Muffs released thier first new album in 5 years. Grace Potter's sophomore solo outing recovered some of the bar-band swagger that marked Potter's work with the Nocturnals.
Check out our playlist of some of our favorite releases in October.
