Denmark's LISS are now ready to unveil their debut double-a side single to feature first track "Try" and now this absolute scorching slice of individual creativity called "Always".



If there was someone who I felt needed to pull out all the stops of their new work it was Youth Lagoon and with "The Knower" - his new song from upcoming Savage Hills Ballroom - he has absolutely smashed it - smashed it, I tell you.



We're really starting to run out of superlatives for Belfast's Girls Names. Yes, they're embarking on a trip down a slightly different path, but in hindsight they were always headed there and we're thrilled about it too. "Reticence" will be the band's lead single from upcoming Arms Around A Vision out on Tough Love.

Wolf Alice have unveiled a new re-worked version of one of their first ever tracks and personal favourite, "Bros".



From an Aussie starlet to an Aussie powerhouse now. Tame Impala have announced "'Cause I'm A Man" their first single proper to come from their soon to be released Lonerism follow-up, Currents.

Former stable mates of Iceage if you will, (used the same rehearsal space back-in-the-day) Communions return with "Out of My World", the first track to feature on their Tough Love self-titled EP and follows-up their "So Long Sun"/"Love Stands Still" double-a side from last year. Oh and it's out 8th Certified Track of the year - easily.



Wasn't going to rush out to post this one, the amount of hype that comes hand in hand with Jamie Smith is madness, so pretty sure another rushed post from us isn't going to make much difference to his exposure levels. Having said that, "Loud Places" featuring Romy Madley Croft (The xx) is pretty special considering the collaboration and style switch from what we're used to from The xx.



Barely started in March and we're already got our first Certified bad-boy in the bag. I'll be the first to admit not all Chromatics tracks hit the spot with us but, my god, when they do, they do - "I Can Never Be Myself When You're Around" being one of those tracks.



Rushing an LP isn't exactly the wisest thing, whether you're a new band or not and to say it's been about two years since Wolf Alice's, "Fluffy", I don't think it would be clever to class debut LP My Love Is Cool as long awaited. One thing certain is they've earned their touring stripes over that time, playing a shit load of dates and they continue to do so now, shaping their sound and getting their name out there in the process, you know - the band thing?



Very rarely do we agree with opinion on Pitchf**k, but in this instance their decision to give Makthaverskan the plaudits for their new track, "Witness", is fully justified and also why we've made it our fourth Certified Track of the year.



It doesn't really seem like more than a year since Portland's Unknown Mortal Orchestra dropped their second LP II to huge critical acclaim, but it has. We say this because they've just announced the release of their third effort Multi-Love through Jagjaguwar on May 26th, and we've got the title track at our disposal.



Having gone missing for most of November and December last year, we negelcted to inform you of the new stuff from Purity Ring, including previous track "Push Pull". Well off the back of that, the duo have unveiled details of their Shrines follow up, Another Eternity and dropped new track "Begin Again".


"Shirim" surfaced back in October last year but water was quickly thrown over the funky-ass flames caused by its emergence. We're now in January and it looks time for its unveil, as the psychedelic funk of a re-invigorated Melody Prochet, or should I say Melody's Echo Chamber, climbs like a vine through our ears.
