Kapputt
Although Anglo-German outfit Kaputt number The Go! Team's Silke Steidinger among their ranks, their debut single is about as far away from joyous Bollywood-style mash-ups as it's possible to be. Informed by US college rock and the maverick invention of Kims Gordon and Deal, 'Dishes' sees an angry, gloriously repetitive Sonic Youth-style intro give way to a Krautish indie romp a la Pixies and The Breeders. And the more we look, the more we can spy the renegade spirit of Mark E. Smith winking at us from a dark corner. Which is a good thing, obviously. Ice-cool indie rock to make your heart glow. www.kaputt.co.uk
Favours For Sailors
In a time of streamlined hair, perfect posturing and asymmetric melodies, Favours For Sailors provide a much-needed musical pick-me-up. Mixing the fractured pop of Pavement, the frenetic power of Gang Of Four, the guitar heroics of Television, and the frustration of three misplaced mid-20s wage slaves, their tunes spill over with wistful lust and exuberant alcoholism. www.myspace.com/favours4sailors
