Argentinean singer-songwriter Juana Molina is an originator. A sound pioneer. She's the only artist we know that could somehow justifiably be compared to Animal Collective, Bebel Gilberto, Bjork, Beth Orton, and Red House Painters. On her fifth full-length, "Un Dia," Molina’s voice is carried like a buoy, and her distinct, animated lyrical phrasing contributes a unique percussive element to each song.

This Tampa Bay lesbian duo-turned-trio challenges the machismo standard that is mainstream hip-hop in rowdy sexually-charged rhymes and electro-crunk beats. The follow-up to Yo! Majesty’s fiery 2006 debut, "Yo EP," and the "Kryptonite Pussy" EP from earlier this year, "Futuristically Speaking… Never Be Afraid" is punchy and aggressive, preaching a post-apocalyptic girl power gospel in rapid-fire blasts of feminist sass.

Domino has specialized in signing new underaged (and over-ambitious) UK bands lately, just prior to them taking over the universe. Wild Beasts will surely be huge in their native lands at least, with a dramatic orchestrated sound, whip-smart lyrics, and fronted by singer Hayden Thorpe's acrobatic falsetto. Fans of Divine Comedy, Pulp, and even Scott Walker should take note.

Tricky's eighth full-length is an homage to his breeding ground and feels like a career-long mix-tape, effortlessly blending dancehall, funk, rock, hip-hop, electronica, and Afro-punk. Working with six different female vocalists, here Tricky eschews much of the druggy, claustrophobic atmosphere of his earlier work, and what results is more assured and, with a mixture of live and programmed instruments, almost sounds "band like." His best work in years.

The Royal We comes out of the same Glasgow scene that spawned both Belle & Sebastian and Franz Ferdinand, and this self-titled 8-track EP proves that the city isn't about to run out of pop hopefuls anytime soon. Sometimes spunky, and glammy (some of the songs remind of the Long Blondes just a tad) and violin-laden, almost Dexy's-esque at others, this is 21 brief minutes of sharp, thrilling pop.
