A promising alt R&B vocalist from Gloucestershire, FKA Twigs, delivers our favourite tune on this edition; the trippy standout track from her second EP, ‘Water Me’.
And more established female artists also dominate the week’s new entries with tracks by PJ Harvey; Julia Holter; Neko Case and Frankie Rose all debuting strong, next to the new offerings by MGMT; John Cale; Drake or White Denim who have teamed up with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy to produce their new record.
