Late Cambrian is straight up flexing now, demonstrating their incredible aptitude for pop hooks across a variety of genres and styles. Their recent dip into their own origins as a power pop guitar band (from which they morphed into a startlingly good electro pop duo) is here followed by “Everyone But You,” a Latin-inspired acoustic guitar riff paired with a head-nodding electro thump.

Los Angeles band Some Gifts have released a performance video for their song “Defective Detective,” recorded live by Michael Jung and shot by David Aguilera. What comes through here, even more than on their studio work, is what an impressive power trio the band is. The smoothness of the transitions from verse/chorus through extended instrumental sections, with the rhythm sections really holding it down, recalls the seminal NYC post-punk band Television － and they had two guitarists. Perhaps Built To Spill, another guitar-driven trio, is a closer analogy, as the ’90s-’00s indie rock influence is also clear here. “Defective Detective” is a new track but does not appear on Some Gifts’ new LP Facts?!.

London rockers Indigo Lo have dropped a new lyric video for their latest single “Reload.” It’s a dark and thumping track, with dry fuzz guitars and a groove reminiscent of early Queens Of The Stone Age, with a hypnotic riff which crescendos in a layered instrumental bridge.
