Jangle-pop is alive and thriving: Welsh duo Red Cavalry deliver infectious jangly indie-pop energy with McCarthy-style lyrical agitation on Popaganda, while LA's The Freebies splice '60s girl-group charm with lo-fi modernity and Velvet Underground-tinged introspection. Hamlet shimmers with Big Star power-pop energy and melancholic jangle-rock on The Breaking Point Is Grieving, and Publicity Department crank up crunchy guitars and two-part harmonies with power-pop influences filtered through '90s alt-rock. Brooklyn's Avery Friedman issues a glistening return single ahead of her first UK/EU tour.
