Panda Bear
Last Night at the Jetty
Hushed and emotional, this track nevertheless feels driven by the spirit of summer. 'Pet Sounds' comparisons are not misleading.
Black Lips
Modern Art
First single from their hotly anticipated, Mark Ronson- produced new album, 'Arabia Mountain'. As snotty and upbeat as ever, but perhaps a tad more cynical.
Sleep Over
Casual Diamond
Hazy, beat-led pop that, through sophisticated chord changes and interesting time signatures, stands head and shoulders above its rivals.
Cass McCombs
County Line
Melancholic, country-tinged indie pop. Part Flying Burrito Brothers, part Neil Young, part inoffensive 1970s AOR. You'll either love it or hate it.
Bleeding Knees Club
Have Fun
The juvenile spirit of garage rock'n'roll captured in a bombastic, three-minute blast.
Shabazz Palace
An Echo from the Hosts That Profess Infinitum
Dark minimalist hip-hop, led by a spooky xylophone riff and apocalyptic samples.
Bodies of Water
Open Rhythms
Air's laid-back grooves mixed with Beatlesesque strings.
tUnE-yArDs
Bizness
Fusing acoustic-folk, jazz, Afro-pop and reggae, this is a strong, innovative track from Merrill Garbus's latest project.
Ben Howard
Old Pine
John Martyn/Jose Gonzalez-inspired, acoustic indie pop.
