Once again, the Brits have beaten us to the punch with the next music craze: meet dubstep. This phenomenon, one that you don’t even know you’ve heard of, began in South London’s underground dance scene almost ten years ago.

All lush vocals and sultry piano, “Crave You” is, in a word, captivating. Giselle Roselli’s brilliant melody and lovelorn lyrics are perfectly at home in the rich, musical world Flight Facilities have created; the retro, loungey vibe is offset by a perfectly modern breakdown and a few flawlessy placed claps and synths.

It’s probably too late to start liking Alkaline Trio. But for the many who count Goddamnit and Good Mourning as integral parts of their high-school soundtracks, the Trio’s most recent release, This Addiction, is the perfect opportunity to get reacquainted with these punk rockers. Alkaline Trio’s last two releases, Crimson and Agony & Irony, saw them stepping away from their roots.

Britain’s electro-pop scene shows no signs of losing its steam. No doubt about it, these Manchester blokes are blowing up.

Some might argue that it’s odd for me to feel so strongly connected to a song that was released twenty-one years before I was even born.

Spoon has never paid much heed to consistency. The band’s first four full-length albums were grab bags of indie-pop sounds, as if they weren’t quite ready to settle down with a style of their own.
