8 Another helping of
Coltrane does Neubaten whilst wearing a creepy Aphex Twin mask from this
bonkers London based trio. Allegedly the band’s mainstay, producer and
trumpeter “Dr” Andrew Blick, is a constitutional historian who used to work at
No. 10 while he wasn’t cutting records with everyone from Damo Suzuki to
Grooverider. If you’ve never heard Gyratory System before that should give you
some idea of what’s in store.

7 Crystal Stilts seem
to be able to whack out shimmering, lo-fi post-punk gems on demand. That they
manage this while somehow effortlessly cramming whistle-along hooks into the mix
makes them the Stock, Aitken & Waterman of Brooklyn slacker pop for my
money.

8 If I was in a band
that every single journalist in the world felt compelled to describe as “difficult”
or “challenging” I’d make a whole record that sounded like Will.i.AM autotuning
Cheryl Cole in a vocoder warehouse just to get a rise. This isn’t quite that
but it’s about as compellingly accessible as Parts & Labour have sounded
thus far.
