Heading straight for some fuzz-rock this week courtesy of the new album from Colleen Green, an artist who seems to be in a fairly prolific mood at the moment. 'Heavy Shit' is taken from her new album 'Sock It To Me' and is a short, buzzing ball of energy that mixes punk and the later alt-rock effects specialists together for instant guitar thrills. Digital release this week, physical on the 25th.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Returning
The career of Spiritualized-obsessed fuzz-rock titans Black Rebel Motorcycle Club has had its ups and downs, both musically and personally. If we're to judge new album 'Spector At The Feast' by recent single 'Let The Day Begin' and the possibly even better slow-burning track 'Returning' then it all points to them being in "up" mode at the moment. Gorgeous stuff.
You can stream, purchase and download the 'Let The Day Begin' EP which features 'Returning' all from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's website

Woodkid - The Golden Age
French artist Woodkid is something of a jack of all trades, having made quite a name for himself as a video director (he's worked with Lana Del Rey and has a Grammy nomination for one of his own songs) but 'The Golden Age' is his debut full-length. The title track will instantly bring Antony & The Johnsons to mind due to its vocal and piano-led nature, but it's a great, epic tune nonetheless.

Youth Lagoon - Dropla
Trevor Powers' latest release under his Youth Lagoon guise has been reeling in the good reviews, and from what we've heard so far it's difficult to contest them. Single 'Dropla' is the kind of experimental and slightly quirky alternative pop music that it takes genuine imagination and talent to create. It's on new album 'Wondrous Bughouse' which is out this week.

OBLIGATORY RECORD OF THE WEEK
Smith Westerns - Varsity
Chicago group Smith Westerns just keep going from strength to strength. Their debut album was quite good, their second, 'Dye It Blonde' was excellent, and now they've announced details of a third, 'Soft Will', for June. The first track taken from it is this fabulous piece of sunkissed indie/garage/pop that piles in plenty of melody and interesting sounds and generally has us getting excited that the new record may well be the best yet. 'Varsity' is a near perfect example of its genre.
