Foals’ Spanish Sahara
With their new album Total Life Forever due in May, Foals have returned with a slow-burning number with no discernible comparison to the freneticism of their debut album Antidotes. It’s a grower however.

Owensie
Formerly of Dublin rock bands Puget Sound and Terrordactyl, Owensie’s new solo project is a much gentler affair akin to Jose Gonzales’ finger-picking folk with great tunes to boot.

Remixing a remix should feel like spreading things a little thin, but The Very Best have successfully taken The XX’s remix of Florence And The Machine and added some light to the shade thanks to the warm vocal tones of Esau Mwamwaya.
Listen at the Hype Machine
Cults
Not much is known about Cults apart from the fact that they are a boy/girl duo from New York and their playful happy-pop has been debuting on a lot of music blogs this week. Download their free digital release.
