The Drums
Do I Love You?
What frontman Jonny Pearce lacks in vocal power is more than made up for in quirky arrangements and layers of reverb on this Ronettes cover.
Burial
Kindred EP
The long wait for new Burial material is over with this excellent three-track EP. Ultra-dark synths accompany UK-garage beats to create 2012's gloomiest dance release.
Grimes
Eight
Despite a swamping bass and moments of heady psychedelica, this track from Claire Bouche's new album, 'Visions', still retains a commercial feel .
Earl Sweatshirt
Home
More Odd Future–affiliated madness – this time from the group's elusive poet laureate.
How to Dress Well
Clowne Towne
Part of a fundraiser for Ad Hoc publications, this Xiu Xiu cover features a melodramatic, a cappella vocal manipulated by special effects.
Beach Fossils
Lessons
Jingly-jangly indie-pop released as the B-side to forthcoming single 'Shallow'.
Unsane
No Chance
Grunge revivalists mixing classic rock's brutal riffs with hardcore punk's raw vocals.
Bill Callahan
So Long, Marianne
This countrified cover retains much of Leonard Cohen's original majesty, while giving the song a tougher edge via an overdriven electric guitar.
The Van Doos
Black It Out
It's 1995 revisited. Pulp's hooks, tones and festival-sized choruses are a clear influence.
