I love Camera Obscura‘s delicate indie pop. Here’s a remix of Books written for girls by Synonym and the lovely Lloyd, I’m ready to be heartbroken.

Bass player Cameron Undy’s new album for Future Classic (as Kidzen) is the best thing from the label to date. Here’s first single Superpeople.

Pike, Klumpes and Waples are finally back with a new album after taking time out for Pivot, solo jams and lots of touring. It’s breathtaking as ever, but in case that’s not enough, here’s a live set recorded for Tim Ritchie’s killer show on Radio National.

Hell yeah. Like his label boss DJ/Rupture, former NYC and now Berlin-based DJ/music maker Timeblind rolls in jungle, dancehall, hip hop, techno, grime and on and on. It’s hot. Click on the record or find more at his site.

Wally De Backer (Gotye/The Basics) on FBI’s Join The Dots Thursday 25/05/06 from 9pm.
