The Big Indie Playlist: The best new music of the week

Instant Classics – The best new hits of the week

Vampire Weekend offer up a slice of indie ran through a waltzer soundscape to create an odd funfair anthem. The Lemon Twigs delve back into the late 1960s with another bopping piece of baroque pop. Slow Hollows whisk up a flowing piece of indie that seamlessly gears towards a haunted ending.

On The Rise – The best new music from new names to know

Cousin Kula is a strange, danceable weekend hit. Bobby Oroza teams up with Max Shrager for Queen of the Barrio. The Sign of Leo takes things back to a simpler time in indie. Ben Chatwin’s emotionally effective modular work continues to impress.

First Spins – The best debut singles of the week

Charlie Rowe croons a tale of regret with a Beatles-like piano melody. Nancy Dawkins is a fierce piece of songwriter baring teeth far scarier than a mouse. Cyn Cwsg offer a bit of blissful indie reminiscent of elements of the fellows in Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci.

The Ecuadorian-Swiss duo are at it again with a sweet serving of duelling guitar. They say you can’t avoid channelling the world around you into your art. Jlin creates a scary soundscape that sounds like Dr Frankenstein turning rusted metal into man.
