My Top 4 Songs of the Week (2024 Week 23):

1. Swiftumz – "Never Impress". San Francisco's Chris McVicker serves up a short but oh-so-twee slice of bedroom pop with a vibe similar to The Clean or The Housemartins (if they were a little more depressed). #music

2. Alfie Templeman and Nile Rodgers – "Just a Dance". Fifth single from the 21-year-old Templeman's upcoming LP Radiosoul is all about that Chic disco sound—and he gets it right from the source in Nile Rodgers. #music

3. Yannis and the Yaw with Tony Allen – "Under the Strikes". Second single from the collab between the Foals frontman and the late Afropop legend goes just as hard as the first. Powerful and sinewy. #music

4. Cardinals – "Twist and Turn". By the numbers, but solid, indie rock from up-and-coming Cork (Ireland) band (moody verses dominated by the bass guitar alternated with noisy verses dominated by 6-string guitars). #music
