EOIN BUTLER'sguide to singles, downloads and free audiostreams

THE SAW DOCTORS
She Loves Me RMG Chart★★★
"She loves me/she loves me not." All the way from Tuam, Davy Carton & co scored their first Irish No 1 single in 17 years last autumn with their cover version of Sugababes' About You Now The release of this jaunty, almost Kinks-esque follow-up, from their forthcoming seventh studio album, coincides with an appearance on the main stage at Oxegen this weekend.

WILCO
You Never Know Nonesuch
★★★★
"Come on kids, you're acting like children/Every generation thinks it's the end of the world." An unashamed slab of mid-1970s rock from a band who have not only been dusting off some of their old George Harrison albums of late, but who also quite clearly don't give a damn about being cool.

NEOSUPERVITAL
Dance With You NSV Records
★★
"Some people want phone numbers/An e-mail address/No, I won't see you on Facebook/But I
really like your dress." Listening to this uncomfortable funk number from one-time Bell X1 drummer Brian O'Donovan is rather like watching your father do Sexual Healing at a karaoke night. That's probably not a recommendation.

ESTHER O'CONNOR
Not So Innocent★★
Seventeen-year-old MOR songwriter Esther is the daughter of Wet Wet Wet bassist Graeme
Duffin. Suffice to say, if this song is a hit then all I know about pop music is wrong. www.esther

THE DEAD WEATHER
Treat Me Like Your Mother Third Man★★★
"Treat me like your mother," demands Alison Mosshart of The Kills (backed here by Jack White
of The White Stripes on drums, Dean Fertila of Queens of the Stone Age on guitars and Jack
Lawrence of The Greenhornes on bass). Fair enough then, Alison. Here's a rucksack full of
my dirty laundry and, ah, what time's dinner?
