A darker sound is a deceptive contrast to the upbeat, rhythm here as Hot Chip return with the first single from their new studio set. An understated, affecting song that sticks with the listener beyond the first listen. (single, February 1)

The opening song on Efterklang's 4AD debut, Modern Drift is a wonderful slice of musicianship, with every element of the song serving to compliment the other. Available as a free download from the band's website now. (free download)

Third single to date, but their first for Polydor, Doubt is an infectious slice of crisp, production led pop that will lead their debut album campaign. (single, January 4)

First taste of The Courteeners sophomore studio set, this song sees the group reaching for a bolder, epic sound, led by a very simple lyrical idea, which you will either love or hate. (single, available now)

From Slow Club's Christmas Thanks For Nothing EP, this is a heartbreaking, melancholy song, boasting the wonderful lyric, "I want to know/where the lonely hearts go/because nobody wants to be all alone on Christmas." (single, available now)

New signing by Wichita, Peggy Sue will release their debut album in 2010, but for now, the band are giving away this song when you sign up to their mailing list. Lovely.(free download)
