The 13 best songs I’ve heard in the last fortnight. Includes both the best pop song I’ve heard all year* AND the most beautiful song I’ve heard all year**.

Recommended if you like:
• Handclaps, cheerleaders, hip hop (that’s just the first track from The Coup)
•80s Depeche Mode meets The Cure (on the best track off the new Yeasayer album)
•Classic singer-songwriter stylings (from AC Newman and Bill Fay)

•The idea of Broken Social Scene gone dreampop (The Sea and Cake)

•Grizzly Bear meets Dirty Projectors (Buke and Gase) 

plus the usual psych rock, indie rock, indiepop, art rock, dreampop mix.
