These 'best of the month' threads usually bubble along for a couple of weeks, and seeing as most of the 'big' releases for the 24th and 31st are already streaming, and seeing as November has some corkers, and December notverymuchdueforrelease, today seemed as good a time as any to post it.

My albums of the month are....
Sleep Over (uplifting Twin Peaksian ebbing drones - review coming on Monday)
Selebrities (wasn't out this month but only just discovered it and absolutely loving its gothic 80s-gazin' ways - plus has a little glimmer of Life Without Buildings to it)
New Look (mnmlsm but not the xx) http://drownedinsound.com/releases/16554/reviews/4143709
James Ferraro (concept LPs about the internet shouldn't be this good - we have a stream of this coming to DiS on Monday!)
dEUS (a fantastic return to form!)
Lanterns on the Lake (Bella Union do it again!)

Gig of the month was When Saints Go Machine supporting Apparat. A few thoughts after their headline gig in my blog: http://seaninsound.tumblr.com/post/10801428905/when-saints-go-machine-kelly
