Tapestries have always been pretty awesome, particularly all those decapitated Normans on the Bayeux Tapestry. Zoe Graham has dragged tapestry kicking and screaming into our age of vintage denim jackets and we love it.

Incredibly intense and dark synth pop from the amalgamation of previous Manchester bands Bureau and Daggers, showcased through a brilliant video that makes the track feel like it’s been eternally missing from your life. Via Illegal Tender.

Max McElligott, or Wolf Gang as he’s known in musical guise, used to host incredible masked balls above Camden Canal. He also happens to write some incredible songs mixing elements of everything from David Bryne to Arcade Fire, pretty awesome right?

Pains Of Being Pure At Heart are four totally fuckable kids rolled through some Brooklyn chic, and spat back out in a mess of dreamy retro-fit indie pop.

In the 60’s almost everyone was cool, or at least that’s the impression you get from watching Woodstock, or intellect-wanking over Bob Dylan lyrics. Apparently this wasn’t the case though, as it turns out that even in those hazy years the bitchy kids were as eager to pigeon-hole their peers into cliched cliques as we are now.

The video for the new We Have Band single has been created by Wieden + Kennedy who are responsible for all those classic Honda ads, as well as the less-than-effective Nokia Comes With Music campaign. It’s clear that once you let them play around though they come up with some insane stuff. Watch it. Fall in love. Paint your face.
