2. Say She She – "I Believe In Miracles". This is a pretty straight re-creation of The Jackson Sisters' (not that Jackson Sisters) rare 1973 disco funk single (not that Hot Chocolate song with the same phrase in the lyrics) by Brooklyn's Say She She. A lost banger brought to thrilling life.

3. The Howl & The Hum – "Echo". Starts off as a fingerpicked ballad. Then at 0:45 the band enters, lifting the song to another level while keeping the focus on the lyrics. "I'm not afraid to die, I'm afraid of the terms and conditions."

4. Dora Jar – "Ragdoll". Dora Jar's second appearance in my top songs list this year, "Ragdoll" is a compelling hybrid of contemporary pop and indie rock that keeps introducing new sonic elements all the way through.

5. Deadletter – "More Heat". Yorkshire band with a track from their upcoming debut album that reminds me most immediately of New Model Army (remember them?), but a little funkier, and with saxophone.
