As we move into what the money people call Q4, it feels as if 2025 still has plenty left to give. To wit, we bring you significant new singles by Dry Cleaning, Sleaford Mods and Melody’s Echo Chamber; wily survivors Peter Perrett, Robert Finley and Thurston Moore continue to deliver the goods; and if you haven’t yet encountered Plantoid, Mildred or The New Eves, you’re in for a treat.

Plus there’s reliably excellent new stuff from Tortoise, Midlake, Ed Harcourt, Lianne La Havas and David Moore, among a myriad of other delights. Dive in…
