  • The Sound Of The Ladies - Clouds At The Top Of The Sky [Myspace] (Or download it from here. In some sort of cosmic japery, it turns out since we decided to feature Martin Austwick who is acoustic pained storyteller The Sound Of The Ladies here that he's done some filming of others round his house and one of those is Superman Revenge Squad - trailer here)
  • Swanton Bombs - Vanishing Point [Myspace]
  • Telepathe - Can't Stand It [streaming on Placebos] (What's the opposite of a frontloaded album? For half of its life it's basically Little Boots with an extra synth, Valley Girl accents and all the charm siphoned off, then round about track five it suddenly becomes a really fascinating wash of elusive droney analogue wash and sweet harmonies. Curse you, Sitek, you win this time.)
  • Those Dancing Days - Those Dancing Days [YouTube] (It's coming back out as a single in a month's time. Dunno why.)
  • TV On The Radio - Dancing Choose [YouTube]
