Music makes the people come … together. Here’s a second special weekly shot of what’s hot, you junkie!
“Laura,” Bat for Lashes
Sultry chanteuse Natasha Kahn is back with a simple, elegant ballad about some ho. She’s more than a superstar.
“Today’s Supernatural” Animal Collective

“Winner” Pet Shop Boys
I don’t know much about this group to be honest. The song is meh (so much for never being boring), but the video’s positive queer message makes it notable and Gay Place-eriffic.
“No More Sleep” Vitalic
My favorite dance music producer is back with another charging scuzzfest for ecstatic spazzing.
“Plague” Crystal Castles
This duo continues to lose their novelty on this underwhelming, rhythmically challenged comeback single.
