An interesting mix of releases this month. R.E.M look to pull themselves out of their post-Automatic For The People slump by continuing on from the good work of 2008's Accelerate. Another band with a lot to prove is The Strokes; album #4 is called Angles and is out on the 21st. Let's just hope it's as spiky as its title suggests, and doesn't fall flat like their last record. Elbow follow up on their Mercury Prize-winning The Seldom Seen Kid; first single Neat Little Rows reassuringly suggests that it's business as usual for the Mancunians. And whilst it's already out there for those who want it, Radiohead's The King Of Limbs gets an official physical release on the 28th. But who knows; by then we might be listening to a whole new set of Radiohead songs released out of the blue.
