Five tracks to hear this week (Aug 18-23)

Striking rapper Stefflon Don hasn’t made an album yet, but her latest mixtape, 16 tracks released today, will certainly tide fans over. Lil Bitch, the aggressive opening song, has a video online now.

Almost two years since they first started grabbing ears with their eclectic indie-dance stylings, Bath quintet Bad Sounds put out their debut album today. The bouncy track Couldn’t Give It Away is the latest to get an online video.

Japanese-American singer-songwriter Mitski releases her fifth album, Be the Cowboy, today. The closing track, Two Slow Dancers, is an exquisite ballad with a minimal backdrop.

Animal Collective’s electronic oddness has always had a bubbly, underwater quality to it. Now the Baltimore trio have taken it to its natural conclusion, by releasing an abstract audiovisual album soundtracking footage of coral reefs. Tangerine Reef is out today.

Having recently spent eight weeks at number one with Dua Lipa and One Kiss, Calvin Harris has another one that looks likely to be his 10th chart topper. Promises, with Sam Smith singing, is released today.
