Foals

Inhaler

The Oxford band finally make their return. This slow, warm and gentle single is a considerably more mature than their previous yelpy math-rock work.

Kim Ann Foxman

Return It

The long-time Hercules and Love Affair collaborator finally gets around to releasing her debut single – a well-constructed, vocal-led house track.

Lust For Youth

It's You

Swedish producer Hannes Norrvide blends syrupy strings with harsh industrial beats to create a sound that is unique but cohesive.

Roc Marciano featuring Ka

Nine Spray

Perfect rap noir from the New York duo. With lines about Marciano's favourite gun and stashing £400,000 in a basement, this is uncompromising stuff.

Majical Cloudz

Turns Turns Turns

Montreal producer Devon Welsh may be best known as a "friend of Grimes", but his minimalist psychedelic soundscapes are worth a listen in their own right.

The Evens

King of Kings

US punk heavyweight Ian MacKaye's long-term side-project return with this excellent new single.

Earl Sweatshirt

Chum

No longer MIA, Odd Future's youngest and most enigmatic member is finally producing the string of excellent releases it was obvious he was capable of.
