Music Week’s guide to the most essential tracks of the moment…
SORRY
Starstruck (Domino)
The best thing about indie rabble Sorry’s new single is the jarring lead guitar, but the pixelated hedonism of the video rules, too. They head out on tour with Shame later this month.

HMLTD
Death Drive (RCA)
HMTLD are throwing a warehouse party in London on November 23, and they limber up with yet more mutant art rock. Bring disinfectant.

MADISON BEER (FEAT. OFFSET)
Hurts Like Hell (First Access)
A Charli XCX co-write is rarely a bad thing, and this pitched down new one from Madison Beer achieves bruised perfection. Off set adds extra haziness.

THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE QUEEN
Gun To The Head (Studio 13)
Sure, Damon Albarn’s vocal lends a certain sadness, but The Good, The Bad & The Queen still sound like they’re having a good knees-up here. Cheers!

DEERHUNTER
Death In Midsummer (4AD)
A harpsichord maps out a brilliant melody on Deerhunter’s comeback, a reminder of their power following the suicide of former bassist Josh Fauver.

CARLY RAE JEPSEN
Party For One (604/School Boy/Interscope)
How much brighter would the world be if everyone were able to cut glistening pop anthems after a break-up? CRJ still excels at doing just that.

ICEAGE
Balm Of Gilead (Matador)
From a split 7” with Black Lips, this fi nds the Danish princes on top form, guitars tower and drums clang as singer Elias Bender Rønnenfelt foams at the mouth.
