Harry Styles - As It Was
So, there we have it, Dear Reader. Harry Styles - the new king of ultra-cool bedroom pop indie. 'As It Was' might, in parts, echo back to The Strokes driving cool, but it's in a way that lines up perfectly with some of the most exciting, vibrant, positive voices in alternative pop right now. From Wallows to Alfie Templeman, the fact that Harry's latest comeback positions himself firmly amongst their pack only goes to prove each and every one of them have something special going on. Add to that the spinning, swirly, self-referencing cool, and 'Harry's House' already looks like a delightful place to lay our heads.
Sports Team - R Entertainment
Attention! Attention please! Sports Team are back-back-BACK, and they've lost none of that chaotic brilliance. 'R Entertainment' may be the bridge between 'Deep Down Happy' and second album 'Gulp!', but that crossing is surely constructed of rope and planks, waving wildly in the winds as hundreds of feral devotees charge across it. Poking at pop's ludicrously proportioned undercarriage, nothing's ever boring with Sports Team.
