Music Weekly: Tunng and Broken Bells

We kick off this week with folktronica stars Tunng. They met Alexis Petridis to discuss touring with Tinariwen and how it feels to be slapped with the "strum'n'bass" tag.

In Singles Club, Alex Needham joins Rosie Swash and Alexis to discuss whether MGMT's single Flash Delirium delivers on the band's promise for no big pop songs. The panel also cast their ears over euphoric metal-pop with Fang Island's Davy Crockett and Tracey Thorn's Oh, the Divorces.

And we finish with live music from Broken Bells, the new mini-supergroup comprising Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse) and Shins frontman James Mercer.

Until next time, you can find us on Twitter and befriend us on Facebook. See you in a week.
