For The Record: September

September has been a weird month in that a lot of very credible and interesting albums have been released but not one has shone brighter than anything else. So basically what we have here is a list of albums set to feature in the end of year lists but none that will get anywhere near the top spot. The best thing I've heard this month though has to be Summer Camp's debut EP 'Young'. Showing that there is more to the boy/ girl duo than the previous tales of anonymity and Swedish holiday pursuits - Young takes nostalgia as a launch pad and crafts a host of pop gems around it. Just as soon as you get one nagging chorus removed from your brain another will come along and replace it, resistance is futile.
