The 17 best new songs from the last couple of weeks. Highest quality indie rock, sci-fi garage-pop, retro synth-pop, motorik space rock, noise pop, psych rock, electronic dance pop and three killer, funky disco tunes.

Best Coast ‘This Lonely Morning’
After the disappointing direction of their second album (over-polished, cheesy country), the LA duo hit a high with this track from their forthcoming EP Fade Away. While it’s not a return to their more lo-fi origins, their gift for crafting euphoric and yearning indiepop shows it hasn’t deserted them.

Sebastien Grainger- “Going With You”
Catchy, retro synth pop from one half of reunited Canadian dance-punks Death From Above 1979.
[Sebastien Grainger]

Turbo Lightning ‘Faster Than Light’

New project from ex-Mae Shi member Jeff Byron (including fellow Batwings/Catwings member Dana Poblete on vocals). Alt-rock meets noise-pop with hints of Pretty Girls Make Graves.
[Turbo Lightning]

Dot Wiggin Band ‘Speed Limit’
Lo-fi, sci-fi, garage punk from former The Shaggs vocalist – her first new album in 44 years.
[Dot Wiggins Band]

Thumpers ‘Unkinder (A Tougher Love)’

This upbeat alt-pop tune originally came out in the UK a few months back but the band (former members of awful haircut outfit Pull Tiger Tail) have now signed to Sub Pop and this is getting a new lease of life.
[Thumpers]

Yo La Tengo ‘Super Kiwi’
Recorded with Tortoise’s John McEntire during the sessions for this year’s excellent Fade Out album. This is at the noisier end of the YLT spectrum.
[Yo La Tengo]

Shambolic, lo-fi, melodic garage pop.
[Younger Lovers]

Wooden Shjips ‘These Shadows (Acoustic Version)’
An acoustic version of a track from the forthcoming Back To Land album from the San Francisco minimalist psych rockers.
[Wooden Shjips]
