Foo Fighters
Run,
RCA/Columbia
The Foos are back with a trademark bang, albeit one that takes a full minute to arrive. A demure intro gives way to a right old cacophony. Classic.

Cut To The Feeling,
School Boy/Interscope Records
‘This B-side would be perfect for the soundtrack to upcoming ballet-based kids film, Leap,’ thought someone in Hollywood. And you know what, it is.

More brilliance from the rapper named after a bloke from a pub. Extra points for the array of Premier League footballers mentioned in the lyrics.

Washed Out
Get Lost,
Stones Throw Records
Ernest Greene is back with his third LP, and this gently danceable lead single comes with a neat animated video and some screwed up brass.

Aldous Harding
Horizon,
4AD
To watch this beady-eyed singer live is to witness witchcraft in action. If you haven’t, find her recent Jools Holland performance online now.

Nick Mulvey
Unconditional,
Fiction Records
His 2014 debut was nominated for the Mercury Prize, and now the man they may or may not call Mulvo returns with this mellifluous wash of modern folk.

Bad Sounds
Phresssh EP,
Insanity Records
Led by brothers Ewan and Callum Merrett, Bath’s Bad Sounds seem to dig groove and swagger. So too, clearly, does Sony imprint Insanity.
