Garbage / Not Your Kind Of People
Garbage's new record reflects a more settled-sounding band, but falls short of offering classic tunes - writes Samuel Breen
Released 14 May 12 on Stun Volume

Allo Darlin’ / Europe
Indie popsters Allo Darlin' sound more worldly wise and travelled on their second album, writes Mat Beal
Released | By Mat Beal

Beach House / Bloom
Beach House return with expectations on their shoulders to deliver something that has trouble peaking above 'cool'. Is that enough, asks Danny Canning?
Released 14 May 12 on Bella Union

DZ Deathrays / Bloodstreams
DZ Deathrays have teamed up with the label behind Cancer Bats to deliver their first full length of serious party jams. Anyone who caught their recent London residency will attest to their 3D garage pop – but can they deliver on wax? (Or on, well, MP3 come to that?)

Richard Hawley / Standing At The Skies Edge
Bravely psychedelic it may be, but Richard Hawley's album succeeds by holding onto themes of love and loss - according to Billy Vibes
Released 07 May 12 on Parlophone | By Billy Vibes

The Unkindness of Ravens / Virus
Thanks to a stockpile of cracking singles, TUOR's debut album is like a greatest hits of neon-lit electrorock, writes Ric Rawlins...
Released 07 May 12 on Sonic Fire | By Ric Rawlins

The Samuel Jackson 5 / The SJ5
The SJ5 don't so much throw out the rules as munch them up like a cackling, 50ft Pac Man, writes Dai Howells
Released

Cate Le Bon / CYRK
Danny Canning celebrates the "unique imagination" of Neon Neon vocalist Cate Le Bon and her circus-inspired second album
Released 30 April 12 on Turnstile/OVNI | By Danny Cannon

Mystery Jets / Radlands
It might be less 'pop' than we're used to, but the new Mystery Jets album confirms the band as musical superheroes - writes Danny Canning
Released 30 April 12 on Rough Trade | By Danny Cannon

Lower Dens / Nootropics
Cinematic synth pop this way cometh - and as Tom Norton reports, Lower Dens are pretty damn good at it too...
Released 30 April 12 on Domino / Ribbon Music | By Tom Norton
