An embarrassment of new songs

We're long overdue a big old metapost of new music. So here, in no particular order, are some songs from the last seven days which you might be interested in hearing.

:: COLDPLAY - EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL
This has literally just gone up online (and on iTunes). It starts well - as though it might suddenly explode with a massive arms-akimbo DONK. Instead, it transmogrifies into a terrible Big Country poodle perm rawk dirge. Will sound good at festivals.




:: THE STAVES - WINTER TREES
I literally just stumbled across this earlier today. According to their website, The Staves are "three sisters who blend their distinctive voices into beautiful, spell-binding harmonies". Basically, a British female Fleet Foxes. Lovely stuff.




:: THE SUGABABES - FREEDOM
Because nothing says "confidently bouncing back after a flop album" like premiering your song on a mobile phone advert. Oh, wait...




:: THE VERONICAS - SOME OLD NONSENSE BY THE VERONICAS
Is anyone eagerly anticipating a third album by Aussie twins The Veronicas? They certainly seem to think so, if this thrilling teaser video is anything to go by. Interesting to hear that their new single is produced by Nellee Hooper, though.




:: JUSTICE - CIVILISATION
Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, or Justice, as they are better known, released this track as an Adidas advert earlier in the year. The video, which has just been finished, is nothing short of spectacular.




:: COLOURMUSIC - YES
A vaguely hypnotic chant, of the sort you might hear in a creepy Haight Ashbury hippy commune circa 1968. This is either a teriffic sing-along or a sinister attempt to brainwash you into giving all your clothes to a donkey and walking nude down the central reservation of the M6.
