Well, on this gloomiest of weeks a little ray of sunshine perhaps with some new music gathered up from the best of the last seven days (oh the irony).

So while Johnson and Gove revel in the toxic slime of their own making and the Labour Party implodes, hit play on nine new songs from the likes of Devendra Banhart, ShitKid, Wymond Miles, The Wind-Up Birds and covers from Ex-Cult and Katy Goodman & Greta Morgan.

1. Devendra Banhart – Middle Names
2. Katy Goodman & Greta Morgan – Bastards Of Young  (Replacements cover)
3. Wymond Miles – Summer Rains
4. The Wind-Up Birds – Straightforward Skies
5. ShitKid – R&R Sally
6. Ex-Cult – 1906  (West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band cover)
7. The Big Bend – Celebrate
8. Toby Coke – Never Be Alone
9. Trace Mountains – I Am Extra Natural
