Firstly, a quick dip back into my March blog: The Raveonettes' Raven In The Grave was SOOO worth sticking with: while the first cursory listens revealed a couple of diamonds, further listening revealed layers of glorious sound, the bands usual rock'n'roll influences spliced with late 80s and early 90s indie rock, maybe like Buddy Holly would've sounded covering pre-Loaded Primal Scream or early Stone Roses with a fuzzbox.
Similar in spirit to this is The Pains of Being Pure At Heart's latest effort, Belong. One of the things I loved about the Pains' debut was that there were so many influences all worn heart-on-sleeve, but mixed so well. This manages something similar, though the influences have moved on a bit from 80s My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain and Wedding Present to 90s MBV and a more polished sound all round. Opener Belong kicks off sounding like The Sundays (and in particular Another Flavour, or the Newman and Baddiel In Pieces theme tune as it's probably better known), before a big Bob Mould/Sugar riff stomps in. …

A dramatic single from the extraordinary new album from Lykke Li (pronounced: lickey lee), streaming exclusively at Hype Machine this week.

It features tribal drums and surfer guitars with Lykke Li's vocals dominating over the top. It's a come hither, to put it mildly, and is meant to be played loud. It was released as a single last November, as a taster for Wounded Rhymes, with an equally dramatic accompanying video.

The video presents Lykke Li in tribal costume on a theatrical set with movie images and stills directly behind her. It's monochromatic and shiny with flashes of light and sharp editing. …
