Mogwai: Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will (Rock Action/Sub Pop)

The iconic Scottish instrumental rockers, who have a neck for odd song and album titles, are back with their playful artcore. Just 3 out of 10 songs on Hardcore go beyond 6 minutes, making this one of their most accessible works to date.

Yuck: Yuck (Transparent/Fat Possum)

Time to move over, xx! Yuck are the new kids on the block as far as Brit indie is concerned. Taking cues from fuzz rock bands of yesteryear, the young London group (two of whom were in the now-defunct Cajun Dance Party-The Drums of 2007) make joyous shoegazer tunes coupled with perfect pop sensibilities.

A Sunny Day In Glasgow

ASDIG is like a combo of all my favourite groups; there are the narcotic guitar haze and whispery female vocals that remind one of My Bloody Valentine or Cocteau Twins, the psych freak-out of Velvet Underground and the electronic textures that are reminiscent of Mum.

Music

A B and The Sea

While everyone’s going ga-ga over Best Coast, here’s a band that truly knows how to put together some feel-good California vibes with irresistible melodies.
