The 16 best tracks from the last two weeks. Psych pop, indie rock, electronic pop, alt-folk etc.

Cloud Control ‘Scar’

Catchy, dreamy psych pop with baroque keyboard riff, from Blue Mountains outfit’s second album Dream Cave.
[Cloud Control]

Janelle Monáe featuring Miguel ‘Prime Time’
Smooth as you like, classy r n’b form Monáe and Miguel with a great Prince-esq guitar solo from (I’m assuming) Kellino Parker.
[Janelle Monáe]

Yamantaka // Sonic Titan ‘One’
Stoner / psych / heavy / art prog from Canada
[Yamantaka // Sonic Titan ]

Title Fight ‘Be a Toy’
Kingston Pennsylvania melodic hardcore band
[Title Fight]

Neko Case ‘Night Still Comes’
Second track to be lifted from Neko Case’s forthcoming follow up to 2009’s Middle Cyclone, The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight The More I Love You, much of it written and recorded while getting through a bout of depression. A much better showcase for her considerable talents as a songwriter and vocalist than previous track ‘Man’.
[Neko Case]

Proggy-folk from Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) and fellow Wisconsin musicians. This is the first taste of their forthcoming second album, Repave (due out on Jagjaguwar next month)

Juana Molina ‘Eras’

Rubbery folktronica from Domino-signed Argentine singer songwriter’s forthcoming sixth album, Wed 21. This one sounds like a looser, more experiemental Lykke Li.
