The 13 July indie landscape begins the week at full speed. <a href="/tags/the-klittens">The Klittens</a> turn wildlife footage and pastel <a href="/genres/post-punk">post-punk</a> into ‘Taxi’, <a href="/tags/joyeria">Joyeria</a> challenges streaming culture, and <a href="/tags/babehoven">Babehoven</a> return from a difficult recovery with an emotionally layered album announcement. <a href="/tags/emma-ogier">Emma Ogier</a> and <a href="/tags/eden-joel">Eden Joel</a> find friendship after heartbreak, while <a href="/tags/the-shins">The Shins</a> open an archive containing music older than several current festival headliners. <a href="/tags/confidence-man">Confidence Man</a> bring club chaos, <a href="/tags/evieb">EvieB</a> and <a href="/tags/alaina-may">Alaina May</a> lean into intimate songwriting, and <a href="/tags/tiger-la-flor">Tiger La Flor</a> drives directly into glamorous trouble.
Elsewhere, <a href="/tags/patti-smith">Patti Smith</a> prepares a home-state poetry appearance, <a href="/tags/xav-clarke">Xav Clarke</a> launches an album in Bristol and <a href="/tags/militarie-gun">Militarie Gun</a> bring hardcore hooks to Manchester. Add new music from <a href="/tags/the-last-dinner-party">The Last Dinner Party</a>, <a href="/tags/makari">Makari</a>, <a href="/tags/ill-peach">ill peach</a> and <a href="/tags/mastodon">Mastodon</a>, and Monday has apparently ignored its traditional role as the quiet, disappointing part of the week. The release calendar has chosen violence, melody and several dramatic jackets.
