Twin Shadow
When We're Dancing
We can't get enough of Twin Shadow with their Smiths-esque melodies and what can only be described as the "power synths" from 10CC's "I'm Not in Love".
Memory Tapes
Today Is Our Life
Is that an 808 drum machine we hear? The sound of 1982/2008 returns to haunt this noisy new wave track.
Little Comets
Joanna (A Cappella Version)
Dropped by Columbia, LC's Vampire Weekend and The Futureheads-inspired new album will be released on tiny indie label Dirty Hit.
Dot JR
Top of the World
Super-slick pop/rhythm'n'blues that revolves around a Chris Martin-style piano loop, and explosive post-Akon synths.
Hunx and His Punx
Lovers Lane
This opening track from their debut album is a 1950s-style ode to "making out".
Hoodie Alien
Dreams Up
A fresh take on the kind of singalong hip-hop that filled the charts in the 1990s. Think Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life".
City Reign
Out in the Cold
Fans of Yuck and Dinosaur Jr will approve of CR's anthemic, grunge. A million failing garage bands will ask why.
Light Asylum
Dark Allies
Electro-goth has been threatening a revival for a few years now. Could this be it?
Cut Copy
Need You Know
Slow burning with pulsing synths, this track soon becomes starry-eyed euphoria.
