Piu is Vancouver Island-based Priyanka Chakrabarti, whose music presents a thoughtful blend of synths, beats, and field recordings inspired by Indian raga and folk music. She’s been promoting her forthcoming album Milao with advance singles including the serenely droning title track and the woozy, beat-driven “Jaare,” which reminds me of solo Thom Yorke. Today’s new single “Home” builds steadily into a bleary, syncopated electronic epic.

Earlier this year, our column The Alternative Number ones covered the great 1996 Eels song “Novocaine For The Soul.” At least in the US, that was the only big hit that Eels ever made. But band mastermind Mark Oliver Everett, aka E, has kept the project going ever since then, amassing a huge discography of lush, downcast, personal pop music. Everett is the subject of a new Judd Apatow-produced documentary, and now he’s got another new album on the way, too.

John Vanderslice has a long and storied career in the realm of indie rock, but on recent releases like d E A T h ~ b U g and CRYSTALS 3.0 he’s been branching out into experimental electronic music. Google Earth, his band with James Riotto, blurs together those two pastimes. But on new album Focus, he’s back in indie singer-songwriter mode. As he puts it on Instagram today, “I’m actually singing here, this is my first song-forward record in a looooooooong time!!!!”
