Every year it seems like some of the best albums come out in September and October. Some highlights of the late summer include Calla’s fourth full-length Collisions, Echo and the Bunnymen’s Siberia, and Sigur Ros‘ Takk. Collisions is Calla’s best work to date, the addition of a second guitar really made a difference on this album, it’s amazing. Echo and the Bunnymen try to better their mediocre 2001 release, Flowers, hopefully McCullogh and Sergeant find the fiery power that made their first four albums classics. One of my most anticipated and often overlooked releases of the month is Broadcast’s Tender Buttons. Tender Buttons marks Broacast’s follow up to 2003s excellent HaHa Sound. Another release worth mentioning is uber-hyped Wolf Parade’s debut Apolgies to Queen Mary. Below is a list of some of my favorite releases, mp3s, videos, and links to buy.

nice list, can’t wait for the new stellastar*. got a copy of the new sons & daughters cd (decent), but i still think their best song is still Johnny Cash. awesomest video.
dont forget the new Ladytron - Witching Hour due Oct. 4 is badass. beats are a lot faster than their usual stuff, a little guitar work with better melodies.
