My Top 5 Songs of the Week (2024 Week 19):

1. Johnny Hunter – "Frustration". You'd be forgiven for writing this Australian quintet off as a Sisters of Mercy clone on hearing this track, but the dramatic postpunk intensity and cinematic goth-rock excitement quickly won me over and they might do you as well. #music

2. Hinds featuring Beck – "Boom Boom Back". That's what Spanish garage-rock duo Hinds are bringing in this strutting single from their fourth album, with help from Beck (who's seemingly become everyone's go-to collaborator lately, with a high banger ratio.) #music

4. Fcukers – "Bon Bon". Meanwhile, in another corner of '90s rock, New York's Fcukers spin up this laid-back electronic shuffle pitched somewhere between Deee-Lite and early Daft Punk. Dig that sine-wave bass. #music

5. Angus and Julia Stone – "Down to the Sea". Australian siblings hypnotize with this tense indie folk gem. "They tell you you're forgiven, but you're not". Perfectly written, arranged, played, sung, and recorded. #music

3. Beabadoobee – "Take a Bite". Bea's back with another '90s-indie-rock inspired confessional, this time recorded with producer/guru Rick Rubin. #music
