Saweetie
Tap In (Warner Records)

Creeper
Be My End (Roadrunner)
You can always rely on Creeper for gothic escapism, and they serve up plenty on this new single, which comes with an animated video and no little black-hued drama.

Hartnoll & Young
I’m Going Shopping (Kazoo Sounds)
Orbital’s Paul Young goes full techno robot on a charity song about shopping during Covid-19. “Don’t stand so close to me,” he intones. Whatever you say, Paul.

It wouldn’t be summer without pop songs about cocktails and holiday romance, and this new one from All We Are offers just that. Their third album lands on August 14.
