This week Camera Obscura have penned a royally good track about unrequited affection, Laura Marling has harked back to her new folk guise with a Bruce Springsteen cover and Book Of Love are here with their first ever single of winsome retromania. Also, Paramore have scooped Single of the Week. I apologise for nothing.»
Hello. Welcome to Drowned In Sound's weekly digest of the best tracks to be released over the past seven days. On Friday, I was feeling a bit sorry for all the bands who weren't Daft Punk and had recently shoved out a song for you to listen to.

Plenty of goodness to choose from this week, we've had a whole raft of albums reviews, mostly well received records and then the Brand Neu! compilation. Phoenix and Future Of The Left both scored 9s, as did Camera Obscura. Funny what a little sunshine does to people's moods, eh?
