these dublin boys are buzzing loudly across the seas. their debut is set to release sometime this year and if this first taste is any intimation of what’s to come, we are all in for a big treat. this track has an early police vibe meets futureheads. you can pre-order this single’s 7″ at rough trade. www.facebook.com/thecastofcheers

the brooklynites’ facebook page states, “fort lean is about getting too drunk at your own picnic.” play this energetic diddy and you could expect just that on your checkered blanket. this track is a new 7″ coming out at the end of the month. it packs a punch and should give you extra mid-week pep. www.facebook.com/fortlean

brooklyn’s beach fossils are working on their sophomore album and have released this track to remind us that despite all the members’ side project, the core group is still on point and we should all be bunching our panties in anticipation for the new album. this track is dreamy, jangly, and fuzzy, but most importantly, it does not disappoint. the single is out later this month. www.facebook.com/beachfossils

band name, aside, denmark’s esben andersen is pretty impressive. he’s a one man act with some serious electronic skills. this track reminds me of lcd soundsystem, which is one hell of a comparison. it’s from his home ep released last year. his debut album is dropping next month and i’d keep my ears peeled. we could have another james murphy on the horizon. www.da-dk.facebook.com/rangleklods

the oxford quintet are dropping their “iron deer dream” single next month, followed by their debut, we’ll be the moon, in may. this is iron deer’s b-side, a shimmering and eclectic pop tune with california flair. it’s certainly still winter, but you couldn’t tell while listening to this summer-ific diddy. www.fixerstheband.com

it’s 2007. james mercer and his albuquerque bunch release their third and final album for sub pop. i love this band. i love this song. it is gorgeous, epic, and untouchable. if port of morrow, their next album due for release next month, comes anywhere near as brilliant as this song. i’m sold.
