Jangle pop for the discerning ear: The Kind Hills return with Little Epiphanies, crafting unhurried 'odes to simplicity' that convey the dull ache of lost love through unfettered jangle that never strays into the fluffier realms of contrition. Zenxith delivers their most atmospheric DIY effort yet — lofi jangle and indie-pop all recorded straight into a phone, guitars drenched in chorus, asking pointedly "does anybody care?" The Boy With The Greyhound Tattoo celebrates thirty years with a definitive compilation spanning cinematic orchestral tracks to noisy guitars, drawing comparisons to Lloyd Cole and The Divine Comedy. Columbuss brings infectious Britpop-soul with jangly guitars layered over high school heartache, and som som delivers driving lo-fi bedroom pop with an experimental edge built for falling down and emerging stronger.
