What Would Jesus Drive? - Fragile Mansions (EyeSeeSound)
It’s hard not to instantly fall for a band with a name like What Would Jesus Drive. With a stark shakedown on religious belief surely on the cards, the name breeds the kind of pant-wetting salivation reserved only for the most dedicated atheist.

Seeland - Under Abraham’s Mind (LoAF)
There’s always something to be said for a genuinely great, daring and different cover version. Whether it’s Sonic Youth’s take on Madonna or Serafina Steer covering Brian Eno, hearing a magnificent re-imagining of a familiar song can be a thrilling and surprisingly affecting experience.
