What are your neighbors listening to? Oxford Karma decided to survey Oklahoma mainstay Guestroom Records about its top-sellers each week to figure out just that. Here’s what was flying off the shelves/out of the crates this week:
1. Mumford & Sons — Wilder Mind
2. Other Lives — Rituals
3. Surfer Blood — 1000 Palms
4. My Morning Jacket — The Waterfall
5. Ty Segall & King Tuff — Live at Pickathon
6. Mikal Cronin – MCIII
7. Alabama Shakes — Sound & Color
8. Sufjan Stevens — Carrie & Lowell
9. Passion Pit — Kindred
10. John Moreland — High on Tulsa Heat
Mumford & Sons have sold everyone on their more electrified sound and sold a lot of copies of their third studio album Wilder Mind in the process. Other Lives are similarly successful in their sonic evolution (outlined in our review of the record), landing at No. 2. Beach-rockers Surfer Blood nab the third slot, while the comeback from My Morning Jacket (reviewed here) follows at No. 4.
Garage-rockers Ty Segall/King Tuff and Mikal Cronin fill in the middle of the chart at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively. Alabama Shakes are sticking strong at seven, while mainstays Sufjan Stevens, Passion Pit and John Moreland round out the top 10.
