JULIA MICHAELS
If You Need Me (Polydor)
The Iowan hitmaker follows her Inner Monologue Part 2 EP with a slow burner inspired by grief and loss. A raw example of her way with emotion.

DODIE
Boys Like You (Doddleoddle)
With lyrics that pick over the instincts that propel our relationships and some hypnotic percussion, Dodie’s latest is a threadbare triumph.

PIST IDIOTS
Ticker (Space 44)
Highly recommended by Amyl & The Sniff ers, this Aussie group conjure a similar strain of chaos. The title-track of their current EP is a ripper.
