Another couple of months
are behind us, and as we close the book on October and November, it’s time for
my latest recap of the incredible music that landed during this stretch — my
Top 10 Records from the past two months, otherwise known as our essential Sonic Selections (((o))).
In October, I clocked up 7360 minutes of listening — over 122 hours — spanning 69 artists and 487 individual tracks. November was a much quieter month, but still full of quality: I listened to 3487 minutes of music, explored 36 artists, and played through 212 tracks.
Across the two months combined, I dug into 126 albums — 87 in October and 39 in November — before narrowing the field down to the 10 new releases that made the final cut for this feature. The standard was so consistently high that choosing just ten felt almost cruel.
From a personal standpoint, October and November delivered a phenomenal run of new music. I hope you’ll dive into my favourite albums below and discover something that hits you just as hard. When the releases are this good, who even needs words to review them?
See you next month — and don’t forget to check out my weekly playlists and essential records of the week, which I share regularly.
