Autumnal Overtones: October Top 10

I've been back in England for a few weeks now and things are almost back to normal, if there actually is such a thing. There are still a few more travel blogs to be written about the tail end of my trip, through Bolvia and a touch of Argentina and they will be forthcoming at some point soon.

For now, I'm going to revert to writing about music for a bit. Because we're at that particular time of year when all thoughts of summer fade and we begin to turn towards winter, the importance of music (amongst other things) to see us through this reflective and somewhat hibernatory season cannot be underestimated. With that in mind, here are the top ten musical delights tickling my ears right now.

1. Oceansize - Paper Champion (Feed to Feed Live DVD, Superball Music)


2. Moving Mountains - Grow on, Grow Up, Grow Out (Pneuma, Deep Elm Records)


3. Fever Ray - Coconut (Live in Lumea)


4. The Gentleman Losers - The Echoing Green (Dustland, City Centre Offices)


5. Ebo Taylor - Heaven (Ghana Soundz, MISC)


6. Burial and Four Tet - Moth (White Label)


7. Shpongle - Ineffable Mysteries (Ineffable Mysteries, Twisted Records)


8. Bluetech - Finding the Future By Looking Backwards (The Divine Invasion, Aleph Zero)


9. Stockfinster - Mit Glieder (Dead Line, Sutemos)


10. Ishq - Bhakti (Orchid, Dakini Records)
