Comebacks, covers and album leaksssss all over.
1. Shearwater, "The Rainbow"
A mind numbingly beautiful (AND terrifying) redo of the Talk Talk classic track.

2. Wolf Parade, "Language City"
The Wolf Parade new album is leaking all over the place and it is a good thing. The more of this I get in my life the better, really.

3. The Rapture, "No Sex for Ben"
Rapture has been quiet for a while but are now back (with a song on the "Iron Man" OST no less) that is good enough to love even if your name is Ben and you are getting no sex.
Welcome back boys.

4. Paavoharju "Kevätrumpu"
Gorilla vs. Bear at this point posts something like 3 blogs a week (optimistically) and is seemingly focusing on their Sirius show operation, but that doesn't stop me from looking at it every Sunday to see if something as pretty while soooo-out-there as this track by Paavoharju emerges. Here, and I quote are the band's words about it:
"Sounds of raindrops falling on sheet metal roof melted together with old television's random-dot-pattern-noise. Leena Uotila's soft voice echoes in empty, dusty rooms. Catowls gathered to the sky, appletrees were blooming and waves rocked a barrell against the pier. Suddenly all this started to form esoteric mildew to cassette's magnetic tape. I finished our work with prayer only a moment before the cold winds rose from Saimaa."

5. Cold War Kids: “I Don’t Wanna Grow Up” (Tom Waits cover)
If Scarlett can do it, CWK can do it better.

6. The Raconteurs, "Salute Your Solution" (Live on “Jools Holland”)
Just in time to make you sad you don't have those Raconteurs tickets, Jack & Co stop by Jools Holland and belt out their new single in a way that makes you think that there may, in fact, be something in the water over there. Fingers crossed for a semblance of same quality here next week.

7. The Cure, "The Only One"
Cure is on tour.
Cure has a new single.
For those who care-they will REALLY REALLY REALLY care.
