- New music: Purity Ring – Ungirthed
This lot make music that pings and chops and uses ghostly samples. Yes, you could say they're a 'blog band'
When the debut single from Purity Ring – the new project from a member of New York electro-poppers Gobble Gobble – glides into view, all pinging beats and ghostly vocal samples, you immediately assume the next couple of minutes will consist of repeated pitched-down samples (a sound currently favoured by "blog bands"). So it's thrilling when Megan James's catchy vocal arrives after 30 seconds and Ungirthed instantly takes shape. It even has a dash of Auto-Tune at one point – a sly nod to the pop mainstream from a track that's catchy enough to nestle there itself.

The New York band are back with a new lineup and an unashamedly emotional celebration of dance music
It's been three years since Andy Butler joined forces with Antony Hegarty for Hercules and Love Affair's debut single Blind, the best slice of melancholy disco since pretty much anything Vince Clarke turned his hand to. Skip forward to 2011 and the New York band are back with their second album, Blue Songs, but this time with a few new recruits. Butler's still at the helm, but fan-turned-frontman Shaun Wright and Venezuelan singer Aerea Negrot now lead the vocals on standout tracks such as My House and Painted Eyes. And while Hegarty is missing, H&LA stalwart Kim Ann Foxman remains.
Speaking to Rosie Swash for the Guardian's Music Weekly podcast, Butler explained that the titular theme refers to the "blue period" of his adolescence, before music made him realise there were other people just like him out there. Perhaps this unashamedly emotional celebration of dance music, and all the strength and vulnerability it represents, may have the same effect on Hercules fans going through the same thing right now.
