Primavera Sound 2022 really isn’t that far away and it has got us thinking about love. Well, kind of: we pick over Tinder’s new festival mode and present our first guide to the Primavera Sound 2022 line up. Plus, our album of the week is Sault’s new string stunner.

Wash those post-Easter holiday blues away, with new music from Finn, Perel, JB Dunckel, The Smile, Jeshi and Dreamcatcher, and a couple of old classics from Mr. Fingers and Pavement, in a genre-ignoring mixture of music inspiration. Plus: how incredible is the new Sault album?

It's the last live show before the Easter weekend and we have an inkling for indie pop, with new music from Wet Leg, Tallies, Jane Weaver and more, before the show takes a left turn into hyperpop, hip hop and house.

Gen Z is apparently re-evaluating what sexy is, with Bridgerton and fanfic playing big roles. Can Father John Misty’s hopeless lover man still turn them on? We talk about the lure of false prophets, while we ponder FJM's album of the week, Chloë and the Next 20th Century.

Johann Wald selects some of the week's latest releases from the world of indie rock, making space for a few tracks from the imminent Primavera Sound 2022 line-up to get the juices flowing.
