I Donโt Recognise You - NewDad
Imagine a spy cleanly navigating a room full of security laser beams. This is what sheโd be singing to you, the mortified security guard, as she approaches. Not breaking eye contact and not missing a beat. Thatโs where my mind went and Iโm sticking with it.

When It Breaks - Inhaler
A head-banging, leg-kicking, air-punching, vocal cord-straining rock anthem. Inhaler is always such a fun listen. Hewsonโs (Bonoโs son) vocals are pushed to the max on this track and he nails it over and over. Paired with those heavy drums and ringing riffs, this song takes off at the chorus.

Come in Alone - my bloody valentine
The pioneers of making pure noise sound like heaven. Music is just a bunch of noise, but mbv throws all these sounds into a vibrating box and sings into it, creating a work of art. Iโd be fascinated to see the individual stems of a track like this. Listen and let it take you away into the sun.

Velocity Girl - Snow Patrol
This song is a crawl. Its shy, soft-spoken vocals and gentle guitar are hiding from the spotlight. Trembling hums break up the verses. Verses that sing for a girl flying away from his grasp. He canโt keep up but wants her near. It's a beautiful dichotomy.

๐ก๐ฅ the ZADIOHIT of the week isโฆ
New Houses - Two Door Cinema Club
My favorite track from Two Doorโs debut EP, pre-dating their well-loved debut album Tourist History. Trimble sounds so young, he was just a wee little Northern Irish lad. The song itself sounds like youโre standing on some sunrise clouds gently hopping around and falling into the fluff. Itโs pleasant, jangly, indie rock goodness. It feels like Iโm a kid again.
