My Top 5 Songs of the Week (2024 Week 12):

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.

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

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

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.

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

I’ve been spinning their new one for a few days. Been a fan since the very first record and imo this is one of their best albums.
