Ms Kinney and Ms Sleater
1. Modern Girl – Sleater Kinney – Off their final (or is that last?) album The Woods, this acoustic pop song makes you wonder why they weren’t more popular with the album reaching # 80 on the Billboard 200, their best placing ever.

6. First Impression – Kele – Atmospheric beauty from the Bloc Party guy whose new album is mighty fine indeed – B+
