8 MusicWeek 22.06.12 DATA DIGEST

AZEALIA BANKS Liquorice (Polydor) From Banks’ debut EP, 1991, Liquorice takes production cues from 90s dance, while Rankin steps in to direct the visu- ally arresting video. (From EP, out now)

HAIM Forever (Polydor) Following this track’s video release and their recent sold-out London show, it seems the hotly-tipped female trio are living up to the hype. (From EP, out now)

MIKA Celebrate (Island) Co-written with UK solo artist Fryars, and Pharrell Williams, and produced by Nick Littlemore (Pnau) this is an explo- sive return. (Single, September 9)

CAT POWER Ruin (Matador) As emotionally impactful as we have come to expect, Cat Power delivers a song that is at once melancholy and sunkissed. (From album, September 3)

TWIN SHADOW Five Seconds (4AD) First taste of the US artist’s new album, Five Seconds showcases an ambitious musical progression, backed by an engaging video. (From album, July 9)

EL PERRO DEL MAR Innocence Is Sense (Memphis Ind.) Swirling soundscapes provide a surreal backdrop to Del Mar’s almost yelping, emotional vocal, before building to a soaring climax. (Single, July 9)

KONSTANTINAS Plastecene Terrain Atmospheric songs accompanied by stunning artwork created on the basis of the track names and conversations between author and designer. (DVD audio album, out now)

GLASS ANIMALS Cocoa Hooves (KayaKaya) First single from Glass Animals and the first release on new XL imprint Kaya Kaya, this is a stunning start for both. (Single, out now)

JAKWOB FEAT. KANO Please (Mercury) One of a handful of collaborations from Jakwob’s currently reacting at specialist radio – this is one of his more melan- choly moments. (From mixtape, out now)

BEATRICE ELI The Conquerer (Levels) We’ve been acutely aware of Beatrice Eli for some time now. This stunning track sounds like Robyn at her darkest and most emotional. Discover it. (Single, tbc)
