The Big Pink

Hit The Ground (Superman)

In sampling Laurie Anderson's 1981 art-pop classic "O Superman", The Big Pink have created yet another anthemic, exasperatingly catchy indie hit.

Jakwob

Let It Fall

A huge, industrial electro track packed with throbbing bass, subtle synths and breathtaking "drops". Jakwob sets the bar high on this first taster from his debut album.

Wu Lyf

We Bros

The latest single from Wu Lyf's excellent debut is a typically euphoric number, cloaked in reverb and driven by a chiming afrobeat guitar.

Sei A

Frozen Flower

This chilled-out electronica track builds slowly but retains a sparse arrangement and Burial-esque, skittish beats.

Azealia Banks

Grand Slam

Complex rap gymnastics performed over a simplistic drum machine beat and rave sirens.

Zemmy Momoh

Somebody Sure

This London-based, Nigerian singer-songwriter makes gorgeous, timeless acoustic pop.

All We Are

Come Back Safe

Intelligent folk-pop that revolves around a George Harrison-style guitar hook. Refreshingly out of sync with most indie buzzbands.

King Charles

Bam Bam

Jittery pop-punk taking additional influence from afro-beat, glam and trad-country.

Gotye

Easy Way Out

The follow-up to "Somebody That I Used to Know" is pure electro-rock fuzz.
