11 | Got Yr Thing by Drums Of Death
Described by fans as ‘grimy and tropical’, Drums Of Death is a techno dance group who’ve made remixes for artists such as Franz Ferdinand and Mando Diao. Their musical influences range from TV On The Radio to Garbage and such versatility is evident on their single ‘Got Yr Thing’. With a techno vibe and a sexy video to boot, this is an unexpected delight.
10 | Supreme Being by Amazing Baby
You could say ‘Supreme Being’ is a little messy on the first listen, but then you start getting used to it and loving it. With a strong chorus and psychedelic background, from start to end this song is fabulous. Their debut album, Rewild, was released in June, and is an extravagant trip to paradise for your ears.

09 | Moongazer by Invasion
When NME says that Invasion are the most exciting thing happening in UK metal right now I have to agree. With an experimental sound, (always a plus even if you’re not a metal fan), the video does help you “get it”, as it were. ‘Moongazer’ is a fresh, 200% cool, full of originality. Invasion would even mess with the devil... and win.
08 | Hole To Feed by Depeche Mode
As the 3rd single from their latest album Sounds Of The Universe, ‘Hole To Feed’ is a dark, intriguing piece; as is the accompanying video. It’s not the easiest thing to stand out in a period when lots of new rock/alternative bands are appearing on the scene, but on this track Depeche Mode prove that their music is still well and truly relevant.
07 | When I Grow Up by Fever Ray
Fever Ray, the lead vocalist of electronic music duo The Knife, is stepping out as a soloist. ‘When I Grow Up’ is one of the best from her eponymous debut set – with an ominous surrounding it is both curious and dreamy at once. It’s an idea that’s hard to put across in words, so take a look at the video and you will soon understand.
06 | Damaris by Patrick Wolf
Patrick Wolf's third single from ‘The Bachelor’ is the dramatic ‘Damaris’, a melodic, personal song based on the true story of one of his English ancestors. A fan favourite from the moment the album was available, it was only a matter of time before it would be released in its own right as a single. His haunting vocal on the track what makes it so unique.
05| Papillon by Editors
‘Papillon’, the first single from their new album, is without doubt their most radio-friendly release. Whilst most of the album sees them in the usual gloomy territory, this song stands out as being mainstream yet equally rather edgy. With a fashionably 80’s beat, Editors are unashamedly taking a stab at commercial success.

04 | Mowgli’s Road by Marina & The Diamonds
Mowgli's Road is Marina & The Diamonds first single proper. Playful and fun, just like Mowgli, the little boy from the Jungle Book, on first listen the song sounds like it could be the next in the line of Amy Winehouse, Duffy and Adele. Her debut album, Family Jewels, isn’t out until February, so in the mean time check out her video.

03 | Undisclosed Desires by Muse
Muse’s second single from their latest studio album, The Resistance, is a drum-based, vocoder-laden track that puts me in mind of late Depeche Mode. Singer Matt Bellamy says the song is about his girlfriend, and the personal touch is evident. It’s as commercial as ‘Uprising’, (if not more) and the video is simple but effective.
02 | I Cut Like A Buffalo by The Dead Weather
Jack White’s The Dead Weather, a fierce, gritty side-project that couldn’t be further away from The Raconteurs, release ‘I Cut Like A Buffalo’, my favourite song from their debut album Horehound. Written solely by Jack, he also directs the music video for it which, by the way, is genius.

01 | Dance The Way I Feel by Ou Est Le Swimming Pool
Ou Est Le Swimming Pool’s brilliant tune ‘Dance The Way I Feel’ aside, it must be said that they came up with an amazing band name. The video is also damn cool, (the dark one, that is. They’ve released several versions but I’m giving you the best one). With a fashionably 80’s sound and excellent vocals, this will be one of your most played tunes in no time.
