Inspired second album from the Grizzlies featuring plentiful atmospheric harmonising and off-kilter arrangements. Exquisite leftfield indieness. Download: Colorado, Central and Remote, Knife, Lullabye Tweet

Quality UK techno which throbs and shape-shifts effortlessly throughout its 42 minutes. Impressive. Download: Hertzog, Florence, Edyocat Tweet

Utterly over-top Queen indebted progressive rock nonsense complete with gibberish lyrics. Great fun mind you. Download: Knights of Cydonia, Supermassive Black Hole, Map of the Problematiqué, Starlight, Exo-Politics Tweet

Dusty avant-garde acoustic soundscapes from Finnish duo literally crackling with atmospherics and bristling with charm. Download: any of it Tweet

More gloopy, dubby, crunchy goodness from the low-fi California duo. This is Freescha’s most accomplished release to date. Download: any of it Tweet

Second LP from slide guitar intrumentalists. Enjoyable laid-back riffing for those warm summer afternoons. Download: Montanita, Wildcat, Kennedy Tweet

Shimmering melodic electronica underpinned by frequently wonky beats and time signatures. Lovely. Download: 111, Infotain Me, Open Top, Oneirist, Vegas Tweet

Thrillingly dark leftfield electronics from Swedish siblings Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer. Twisted vocals entwine with throbbing synths to create something unnerving and original. Bedövning (that’s “Stunning” to you and I). Pop fact: amusingly, Q music magazine gave this one star out of five. Download: Silent Shout, The Captain, Marble House, Forest Families, Like [...]

A return to form (not forgetting “Disco 3″ was ace), enlisting Trevor Horn for production duties guaranteed a swashbuckling sound (and real drums – “the horror!”). Darker themes and mature subject matter add “Fundamental” to PSB’s best. Download: I Made My Excuses and Left, Minimal, Integral, The Sodom and Gomorrah Show, Luna Park Tweet

Continuing where “Lil Beethhoven” left off, this is a wildy original, madly surreal collection of orchestral rock/pop brilliance. Unlike anything else and all the better for it. Download: Perfume, Metaphor, As I Sit To Play The Organ At The Notre Dame Cathedral, Very Next Fight Tweet
