Perfect Places,
Virgin EMI
Melodrama finally drops this week, and this lush, sweeping third single sets it up nicely. There’s some mega synth work near the end, too.

Everything Now,
Sony

Wall Of Glass,
Warner Bros
Isn’t it strange that, in this office at least, the King Of Parkas’ new single already feels like a classic? We’re sure you’ve played it 250 times too…

Low Island
Rest Your Head,
Kobalt Music
Like Radiohead, Foals and Glass Animals, Low Island are a brainy band from the Oxford area. This new single tips its cap to Arthur Russell.

Know No Better,
Mad Decent
Featuring Travis Scott, Quavo and Camila Cabello, this is made for inebriated dancing, ideally on some decking on a Mediterranean island.

Old Soul,
Universal Music
The search for Liverpool’s most chilled out entertainer is officially over. Jazz, soul and a flash of R&B combine for a tune that’s possibly too relaxing.
