British people release lots of music. Like, lots. But we need to condense this to a top 5 list so let's right this ship quickly and get to it.
CYMBALS // The Age of Fracture
-Who said synthy new wave was dead? Oh, no one? Well, good.
Joanna Gruesome // Weird Sister
-I saw kids moshing to this band in 85 degrees weather at 2pm.
La Roux // Trouble in Paradise
-Cohesive, colourful, more environmentally friendly degree of hair gel use. Smooth Pop!
Johnny Foreigner // You Can Do Better
-Tweecore is real. Self-aware pop-punk?
PAWS // Youth Culture Forever
-They will definitely kick it with you after the show; they may even request to crash on your couch. Innocent 90's poppy grunge!
Extremely honorable mentions: Aphex Twin // Syro, FKA Twigs // LP1, Playlounge // Pilot, Lxury // Playground EP, Jungle // Jungle
