This quartet from Chicago sound immensely promising. 'Overflown' is one of the tracks from a recent 7" single by Landmarks and successfully blends the sounds of contemporary North American alt-rock with the driving beats and experimentalism of krautrock. The end product is a quite wonderful tune that's overflowing with layers of sound.

The Art Club - Sorry
Perhaps its the sea air, but Brighton is continuing to punch above its weight, and in The Art Club the city is home to a very good band. New single 'Sorry' seems to drift about in a distant haze that's part post-punk and part dreampop. It's full of melody and despite being the tale of a broken heart is uplifting and the perfect sound for summer.

Heavy Waves - No Good
Bringing us the classic sounds of '90s post-grunge are Birmingham (UK) trio Heavy Waves. With wall-to-wall guitars fuzzing out the whole song, plus a J Mascis-like squall on top of it, these guys not only know their way around a fretboard, they know a good tune when it's staring them in the face. It seems they want us to know one too, so they're giving away the ace 'No Good' for free.

Bloum - On The Moon
A little over a month after we featured them as a band to check out, Parisians Bloum have unveiled their sixth song. 'On The Moon' does sound a little bit cosmic and pleasantly soporific. With snappy electronic beats and soft vocals they're getting the sound of chilled electro-pop pretty much spot-on. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for more.
