It’s an excellent week, this. Why is that, you ask? We’ll tell you. You’ll all be pleased to know that thanks to the great gift that was The Killers’ secret set at Glastonbury, ‘Mr Brightside’ is back in the Top 40 this week. That means it takes pride of place in our Jukebox, and you’re all very welcome. We’ve also got new tracks from St. Vincent, Samantha Urbani, Arcade Fire, The National, Broken Social Scene, Mura Masa, and Liars, as well as a curveball from r’kid Liam Gallagher in the form of ‘Chinatown’.
Speaking of the unexpected, the original line-up of the Smashing Pumpkins might sort-of-maybe-almost be doing a reunion tour in 2018. Then The Horrors are back with some live dates this year, and so are Nothing But Thieves, Perfume Genius, Bon Iver, ALMA, and Turnover.
LANY, Creeper, Hero Fisher, healyum, M1dl1fe, and Eat Fast brought us videos this week, while The XX enlisted Millie Bobby Brown, Paris Jackson, and ‘Moonlight’’s Ashton Sanders to pay tribute to Los Angeles in their clip for ‘I Dare You’.
You can have a listen to all that in the playlist below. Don’t just stick ‘Mr. Brightside’ on repeat, okay? We see you.
