Two Door Cinema Club
Something Good Can Work
This 2008 single proved a winner when belted out from Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage. Contenders for performance of the weekend.
Wild Flag
Romance
Sleater-Kinney's Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss work together again on this spiky, organ-driven track.
Two Wounded Birds
My Lonesome
This Tarantino-esque surf-pop number was a highlight of TWB's triumphant BBC Introducing stage set at Glasto.
Vivian Girls
Take It As It Comes
The golden combination of 60s girl-group-style spoken-word vocals and a love-sick garage-rock backing.
Pallers
Come Rain, Come Sunshine
Heartstring-tugging electronica. Shimmering keys and a gentle, melancholic vocal transform into a bright dance track halfway through.
Alt-J
Matilda
Don't let their symbol-based name (inspired by the Mac key) distract you from the band's lilting, pastoral music.
Murphy Jax
Time to Bump
There's a vintage feel to this song's synths and melodramatic strings. Eighties acid house a clear influence.
Wilco
Wilco
Angular and awkward yet irrepressibly catchy. Pop and indie meet perfectly.
J Dilla
Last Donut of the Night
Hard-hitting hip-hop that combines 90s beats with 70s soul strings and samples.
