In hindsight, the past month has proven to be one of the most prolific periods of the year in terms of experimental releases; eight of the current Top 30 alone were released sometime during the month of October. However, both November and December are shaping up to be equally salient in their own right, with key albums expected in genres ranging from electronic dream-pop (Arms and Sleepers, TLS) to epic post-rock (Cecilia::Eyes) to experimental screamo (Envy). Either way, the following list marks a strong conclusion to the year of 2007.
Adolf Plays the Jazz- Day 4/Urban Fiction (Self-Released)
Arms and Sleepers- Black Paris 86 (Expect Candy)
Astral- Sleepwalker (Vibraphone)
Atlantis- Carpe Omnium (Field Records)
Cecilia::Eyes- Mountain Tops Are Sometimes Closer to the Moon (dEPOT214)
Colour- Heaven (Grey Records)
Envy- Abyssal (Rock Action)
Halcyon High- To Be Infinite (Vibraphone)
Hologram- Hologram+ (n5MD)
I Am David Sparkle- This Is The New (Kitty Wu)
Kerosene Daydream- Oscillate (Self-Released)
Sidewaytown- Years In the Wall (Self-Released)
TLS- A Song Left For You (Imperial)
The Winchester Club- Britannia Triumphant (WHI Recordings)
Additionally, upcoming reviews will be posted within the week and include the new full lengths from Pooma and Followed By Ghosts among others.
