The Nialler9 new music chart: Local Natives, Jai Paul, Yeasayer, Wavves, Perfume Genius, David's Lyre..

The best new music this week…

1. Jai Paul – ‘BTSU’
   A tip from Richie Egan when he appeared on Donal Dineen’s show, Jai Paul is a producer from London who is just starting out. So far, he’s been making electronic R&B with dub frequencies. It still sounds like pop music – just really weird pop music that plays in your brain forever and ever.
   
2. Perfume Genius – ‘Learning’
   Beguiling dark ballads from a Seattle Mike Hadreas, It’s pretty desolate stuff but makes for fascinating listening. Learning is out now on Matador. Stream it whole.
   
3. Local Natives – ‘Wide Eyes’ (Teen Daze Remix)
   Canada’s Teen Daze turns LA’s Local Natives into a lush electronic landscape. ‘Wide Eyes’ is the perfect song for this kind of makeover.

4. Yeasayer – ‘Madder Red’ (The Golden Filter Remix)
   The Golden Filter continue their fine run of remixing after the recent UNKLE rework with this 7 minute twisting and turning refix of ‘Madder Red’ , the latest single from Odd Blood.
   
5. Wavves – ‘King of the Beach’
   Wavves third album King of the Beach is his best album yet. Here’s the title track.
   
6. David Lyre – ‘Heartbeat’
   First recommended for me by reader Lucy back in April, David’s Lyre makes English folk with touches of modernity. Interesting beginnings.
   
7. Futurebirds – ‘Jonny Utah’
   Blogger Justin Gauge who writes Aquarium Drunkard is releasing this Athens, Georgia band’s debut album Hampton’s Lullaby through his Autumn Tone label. ‘Jonny Utah’ is a promising promo from the record, out in late July.
