Listen: Mumford & Sons, Ben Howard, Michael Kiwanuka & The Staves – Over The Hill (John Martyn Cover)
Mumford & Sons’ Ben Lovett and his Communion label get all ‘group-hug’ on us with this video from SXSW
Listen: John Mayer – Video Games (Lana Del Rey Cover)

Listen: The Cast of Cheers – Animals
It’s a spiralling, sharp-toothed pop song that more than wets the appetite for their debut full-length

Mercy sees West giving his chums the limelight, popping up only to deliver a painfully good final verse that drifts into the pitch-altered chorus
Listen: Kanye West – Theraflu
Featuring DJ Khaled, it’s a bit of a beast. A bleepy, lo-fi yet absolutely huge beast
Listen: Dirty Projectors – Gun Has No Trigger

Listen: Maximo Park – The National Health
Maximo Park return from the lengthy spell on the sidelines with super-duper urgent new single
Listen: Maps & Atlases – Fever

Listen: Angus Stone – Bird On The Buffalo
Bird On The Buffalo is a slice of bright and breezy acoustic pop with one hell of a scuzzy guitar solo
Listen: The Temper Trap – Need Your Love
It’s synthier than before, but isn’t everything at the moment? Summer has arrived. Huzzah!
Listen: Norah Jones – Travelin’ On
Little Broken Hearts is eagerly anticipated, especially due to the fact that Danger Mouse is sitting at the production desk
