WHAT TO LISTEN TO...

Bloc Party

Traps (Infectious/BMG)

Bloc Party are back with their first new music for half a decade. This single is a riot of cyclical riffs and frenetic drumming — expect it to go off at Alexandra Palace for a huge London gig on May 28.

Young T & Bugsey feat. Unknown T

Roberto C (Black Butter)

The Roberto C here isn’t the legendary Brazilian left-back Roberto Carlos but rather the designer Roberto Cavalli — an indication of how smoothly confident the Nottingham duo are sounding, aided by a verse from Unknown T.

Erin Rae

Candy & Curry (Thirty Tigers) This floaty, unhurried single from the Nashville indie-folk artist takes inspiration from the sun-dappled psychedelia of the Sixties and gently grows into something gorgeous.
