Animal Collective - What Would I Want? Sky

As years progress it becomes increasingly difficult to keep up with Animal Collective. Such is the sporadic and ever-evolving nature of their sound that unless you are a devoted fan you are likely to find that the latest addition to their discography, whatever it may be, will swoop over your unaware little head. However, 'What Would I Want? Sky' is so ear-numbingly brilliant that even those with only a passing interest in Animal Collective will undoubtedly be compelled to quickly log on to their iTunes accounts and download what they've been missing out on all this time. It's refreshing to know that some musicians out there simply never run out of ideas. It's just unfortunate that most of these musicians are in Animal Collective.

Two Door Cinema Club - I Can Talk

Never one to champion the unbearable electro-bland of Bloc Party, even I have to admit that Silent Alarm was one of the more 'important' albums of our generation and, unlike everything else they have produced since then, it was actually good. Two Door Cinema Club are picking up where Kele & co left off, and arguably doing a better job at it. 'I Can Talk' is a majestic and arty thump of harsh guitars and geeky bassists.

Beach House - Norway

I first became a fan of Beach House whilst fingering through the MySpace archives a few years ago, hunting for new sounds amongst the generic Strokes clones and tribute bands. The sultry Nico-esque vocals of their demo's captivated me, and have since proved to be a staple fixture in various mixtapes I have sent to girlfriends. It is nice, then, that they have since been picked up and are finding themselves now playing to a broader audience of likeminded people. Norway is a beautifully subtle tune that reminds me why I fell in love with them in the first place.
