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

It’s hard to think about music when there’s a bloody missing princess somewhere out there. Good news abounds in the world of music with album announcements from the likes of Pet Deaths. There are beauties from Vampire Weekend and taste-expanders in the form of an oddity from Jlin.

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.
