B.o.B. ft BRUNO MARS

Nothin on You Grand Hustle ****

He's already shifted more than a million copies of this in the US – and I'm betting the farm that Atlanta rapper B.o.B. will match that success over here. Seriously, the only way this guy could have made more of an obvious radio hit would be if he'd had the latest traffic updates fade in over the end. Nothin on Youis taken from the album B.o.B. Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray.

INTERPOL

Lights ***

Interpol's as yet untitled fourth album (their last with bassist Carlos D, who recently announced his departure) has been mooted as a return to the sound of their 2002 debut, Turn on the Bright Lights. This track, the first taster from those sessions, has been made available as a free download from the band's website. See interpolnyc.com.

THE FALL

Bury Pt 2 + 4 Domino ****

I can't claim to know a whole lot about these recent Domino signings, save that they're surly, they're from Manchester and the singer is clearly a bit of a looker. Bury is taken from The Fall's utterly brilliant Your Future Our Clutteralbum. Of course, we're not worthy. We never were.

R.S.A.G.

The Roamer A Rare Production ***

The Roameris a fitting title for a track that roams and rambles entertainingly for nearly six minutes – without ever really taking us anywhere in particular. Jeremy Hickey's second album, Be It Right or Wrong, is out on June 11th. A seven- date Irish tour begins in Sligo's Model Arts Centre on May 29th.

GENERAL FIASCO

I'm Not Made of Eyes Infectious ***

To follow up the minor success of their Ever So Shy single, the Magherafelt trio have rerecorded this track from their Buildingsalbum with Pixies and Foo Fighters producer Gil Norton. They're due to appear at Oxegen later this summer.
