Hot tracks ft Bloc Party

BLOC PARTY � Mercury.


With a harsh, mangle vocal sample and similarly discordant attitude, Kele�s
heroes have ditched the superimposed guitars for punky rhythms and sulky synths.
A bold tone.4

BROKEN RECORDS � Slow Parade. This second single is a shuffle of
emotional lyrics, docile piano and uplifting string section. 3.5

PHANTOM LIMB � Don�t Say A Word. This debut of ethereal
ethnic music sounds as old as the hills. 2.5

BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB � Evening/Morning. Skittering rhythms, a
dirgey bass and Interpol-sounding guitars and vocals ticking all the right
boxes. 4

THE RYES � How Come Loretta. A galloping hoyden packed with catchy
melodies and harmonies. 3.5

BETH ROWLEY � Sweet Hours. Laid-back, smoky blues from Beth�s
top-ten album Little Dreamer. 3.5

JEREMY WARMSLEY � Lose My Cool. Unique mix of electronic textures
and rock guitars held together by verbal dexterity. 4

BECK � Gamma Ray. His best since he described himself as a loser.
4

NELLY FEAT AKON AND ASHANTI � Body On Me. Akon and Ashanti bring
the steamy vocals to Nelly�s funky trail. 3

LIZ GREEN � Midnight Blues. Beguiling late-night blues with
finger-picked guitar and forked bass. 3.5
