Dub Thompson: Dograces

California boys Evan Laffer and Matt Pulos mix up krautrock, psych, baroque pop and postpunk on their Dead Oceans debut EP, released June 9.

De Lux: Better at Making Time

A completely different kind of LA duo, Sean Guerin and Isaac Franco offer retro brainiac funk and disco that recalls the heyday of Ze Records.

Marmozets: Why Do You Hate Me?

Two sets of siblings from Yorkshire offering festival-friendly math metal with yelping female vocals.

Only Real: Cadillac Girl

Laconic West London singer-rapper produced by Ben (Animal Collective/Washed Out) Allen and signed to reactivated Harvest imprint.

Throwing Shade: Sweet Tooth

A rival to FKA Twigs in the home-grown cloudy-synths/sugary R&B stakes. The London producer (and sometime barrister!) releases the 19 Jewels EP next month on the excellent No Pain In Pop.
