This week sees Californian jangly rock types Audacity release their second album 'Mellow Cruisers', the follow-up to 2009's debut 'Power Drowning'. Free track 'Garza Girls' mixes indiepop sounds with punk and alt-rock as it chops and changes for three minutes, never quite knowing where to settle. It all makes for a wonderfully ramshackle listen.

The Hundred In The Hands - Keep It Low
'Keep It Low' is a free download single from Brooklyn duo The Hundred In The Hands and is taken from their second album 'Red Night' which was released in the UK last month.

Tame Impala - Apocalypse Dreams
Australian psych-rockers Tame Impala have spent much of this year in the shadow of Pond, a band they share members with and whose new album has gained them to widespread acclaim. 'Apocalypse Dreams' is the first track from Tame Impala's new album, expected in October, and should go some way to swinging the attention back to them. Although we're sure there's no competition between the two...
