Tove Styrke is a Swedish electro-pop singer influenced by Robyn, Annie and September. She has recorded two albums and won music awards and had top ten singles in Sweden. The reggae tinged Borderline (2014) is her most popular song and on the Borderline E.P. is this little gem If I'm Talking Loud It Doesn't Mean I'm Talking To You, a song as sticky as a paedo in kindy and a tune Spin said is full of “lip-clenched fuck-offs.”

Spoon are an indie rock band from Austin, Texas. Rent I Pay came banging off their eighth album They Want My Soul (2014) and is a tune Rolling Stone called “a thumping garage rock cut.” Rent I Pay has a ripping riff a'la The Stones or The Kinks. Top dollar.
