The Nialler9 new music chart: Miniature Tigers, Tropics, Matthew Dear, Laetitia Sadier, MNDR & more

The best new music this week…

1. Miniature Tigers – ‘Gold Skull’
   Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor produced the Morning Benders album Big Echo. Morning Benders’ Chris Chu produced Miniature Tigers upcoming album Fortress but to further steep this into indie incestuousness, Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo actually produced this song ‘Gold Skull’ and it is lovely.
   
2. Tropics– ‘Soft Vision’
   Another Planet Mu artist, Tropics is the UK’s Chris Ward, and ‘Soft Visions’ is a six minute track that makes me want to hear more.
   
3. Laetitia Sadier – ‘Long Legs’
   Taken from Woolly Jumpers EP 1 out on June 26th through Wool Recordings, this fine slow-burner from Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier kicks off the EP which also features Peter Broderick, Castanets and Double U.
