5. Elbow – "Things I've Been Telling Myself for Years" Dark, proggy, almost Bowie-esque slowburner from Manchester rockers.

4. Lenny Kravitz – "Human". The super mod Kravitz is back with this track, which takes a '70s soft-rock backing, soups it up with Depeche Mode percussion and Lenny's hip rebel vocal and somehow makes it cool.

3. Travis – "Gaslight" . Veteran Scottish post-Britpop band comes up with this jangly, hooky, horn-peppered tale of psychological manipulation.

2. ionnalee – "Innocence of Sound". Swedish art-popper rolls out a postpunk/synthpop gem reminiscent of Kate Bush, The Human League and Eurythmics.

1. Hozier – "Too Sweet". My 19-year-old turned me on to Irish superstar Hozier, and what can I say, the kid nailed it. On this song, the Black Keys-like bass builds tension through the verses that the choruses release before setting you up for another round.

5. Chromeo – "Lost and Found". Chromeo take a pinch of synthpop here, add a dash of Controversy-era Prince there (man, those keyboard stings in the chorus take me back!), and whip up this tasty concoction.

4. Kid Kapichi – "Can EU Hear Me?" Rousing punk anthem from Hastings (UK) group taking on Brexit's fallout ("I don't want to live alone on this island/but they put it to a vote, and they just kept lyin'") Can't decide whether to smash the system, or just turn this up and shout along.

3. Myriam Gendron – "Long Way Home". Lovely throwback to the golden age of British folk-rock (Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Nick Drake) from Montreal's Gendron.

2. Liam Gallagher and John Squire – "Raise Your Hands". Maybe it's not as flash as "Just Another Rainbow", the first single released by this meeting of Britpop titans, but this is still a solid chune that plays to both men's strength and will get heads nodding.

1. The Black Keys – "This is Nowhere". Another swingin' single from forthcoming album Ohio Players, this is like audio crack, with its raspy bass riff, super-groovy shuffle beat, and funky organ.

5. Kaiser Chiefs – "Noel Groove". Leeds indie rock band with the first track on their new (eighth) album, a mid-tempo (but surprisingly danceable) rocker with a falsetto chorus that encroaches on Bee Gees territory.

4. Rosali – "Bite Down". A smooth trip-hop arrangement cushions North Carolina singer-singwriter Rosali's offbeat meditation on a relationship that's reached an impasse.

3. Kaeto – "Don't Ask". London-based Scottish art punk Kaeto brings a Deee-Lite vibe to this exploration of body image and consent. Slinky and weird in just the right ways.

2. Keli Holiday – "Horsepower". Australian musician Adam Hyde is Keli Holiday, strutting to a throwback Happy Mondays groove and spinning some loopy metaphor for turbo-charged sex appeal.
