The Zone by The Weeknd

We first introduced you to Abel Tesfaye – it seems The Weeknd is a solo act rather than a duo as first reported – back in March.

The Same Thing by Cass McCombs

A fine cut from Cass McCombs’ new album Humor Risk, his second of 2011, out November 8th on Domino.

Year Off by High Places

Today’s MPFree by High Places manages to sound completely fresh and at the same time, a touch reminiscent of 90s dance acts such as Olive or Bill Ray Martin, which is an interesting combination.

Some Children (feat. Michael McDonald) by Holy Ghost!

Taken from the NYC dance duo’s eponymous debut, this pleasingly laid-back slab of nu-disco is now available as free download.

Hurtlove by No ceremony

This premiered on a few blogs towards the end of the last week and no one seems to know much about No Ceremony, apart from the fact that they/he/she is from Manchester.

No Man by Deptford Goth

This positively reeks of the sort of music enjoyed by the sort of people who get the backs up of the rowdier teenage residents of E8 and E9, but don’t let that put you off.

Take Another Look by Maribou State

The latest addition to the Fat! Records family, Maribou State have just released their brand new pulsating, down-tempo electronic EP Habitat.

Because It's Wrong by Digits

We here at Snipe have come across Toronto’s Alt Altman, trading under the name Digits, before. Though not without merit, his music has previously lacked a little bite.

Talk To Me by Porcelain Raft

The former Sunny Day Sets Fire man has just released a free remix EP, featuring tracks from this year’s Gone Blind EP, re-worked by the likes of Memory Tapes and Babe Rainbow.

An Argument With Myself by Jens Lekman

Having recently absconded from his native Gothenburg to the sunnier climes of Melbourne, 30-year-old Jens releases a brand new EP next month (September 19th to be precise), via Service/Secretly Canadian.
