Arcade Fire ‘We Used To Wait'(Mercury)

Arcade Fire have done it again and made an album of epic proportions. This track is the first single from ‘The Suburbs’ and shows the band at their climactic best.

–

Islet ‘Horses and Dogs’ (Turnstile)

Stephen Merritt-esque harsh atonal baritone cuts through the gentle psychedelic orchestration to create an aural dichotomy.

–

Scientist ‘Korg Back Dub’ (Tectonic Recordings)

Dubbed the ultimate master of dub, Scientist has been busy concocting explosive hits for many years now and seems to get better with age.

–

Becoming Real ‘South London Congo’ (Tough Love Records)

The self-proclaimed exponent of ghost-step used to be in a Sonic Youth covers band, but now favours his trusty laptop.

–

Thread Pulls ‘Weight’ (Osaka)

A stiffly regulated drum beat, sturdy bass line and simplistic vocals make up this offering from the latest minimal act du jour.

Former Ghosts ‘New Orleans’ (Upset the Rhythm)

The ghost of dark, ambient and fragmented synth-pop is brought to life by Freddie Ruppert’s haunting warble.

–

The Count & Sinden ‘Elephant 1234′ (Domino)

Listen to this track to revisit long forgotten nights spent in debauched basement rave caves, punching the air at the speed of light.

–
