Cyril Hahn, Pixies, Mr Oizo: the week's best tracks

If you're not hiding out in an internet free-Glastonbury tent, then feast your musical eyes and ears on Gigwise's tracks of the week.

Proving 2013 is the ultimate year for comebacks, this week's selection features new material from Pixies and Franz Ferdinand, alongside brand spanking new original material from Canadian favourite Cyril Hahn.

You may not be at Glastonbury but that's no excuse to listen to rubbish music all weekend. Revel in not being muddy and listen to the best new music from the past seven days. 

Cyril Hahn feat. Shy Girls 'Perfect Form'
The Canadian producer has finally released some original work, and my word it has been worth the nearly year long wait, since Hahn first popped up with his sensuous remixes of hit tracks. Shy Girls provides excellent vocals for what will be the dance hit of the summer.

 

Willis Earl Beal 'Everything Unwinds'
Willis Earl Beal's voice has a heavy, hypnotic effect upon the listener that is even more haunting when accompanied with a flickering defunct youtube screen. 'Everything Unwinds' sends shivers down your spine from start to finish.

 

Washed Out 'Don't Give Up'
American Electro arist Washed Out delivers another psychedelic, summer influenced chill-wave track that is reminicsent of his debut, Within and Without. Enjoy the Carolina sunshine which is woven through all Washed Out's work.

 

Peter & The Magician feat. Sophie Galpin 'On My Brain'
'On My Brain' is a heavy dance and techno influenced track, complete with Sophie Galpin's soaring vocals to make it into one fine listen. But then any collaboration between French DJ Yuksek and The Magician was always going to be.

 

Lulu James 'Step By Step'
'Step By Step' is begging to have an epic dance remix to make it an all-night kind of track. But before that happens, the song makes you appreciate Lulu James' incredible voice and eclectic music style. A future star, mark our words.

 

Pixies 'Bagboy'
Pixies have released their first original material in ten years with 'Bagboy' which even features vocals from band member Kim Deal, who recently quit the band. 'Bagboy' clearly showcases why Pixies are one of the most influential bands ever.

 

David Lynch 'Are You Sure'
Lynch this weekend his new single, following on from his recent Lykke Li collaboration, 'I'm Waiting Here'. It's a melancholy, but beautiful, Dylan esque track which is going to make Lynch's second album, The Big Dream a sure fire success.

 

Franz Ferdinand 'Right Action'
Franz Ferdinand's comeback track has a nostalgic Talking Heads feel about, showing a more vintage take on the traditional Franz Ferdinand sound. Welcome back!

 

Mr Oizo feat. Marilyn Manson 'Solid'
Marilyn Manson brings his ever pleasant attitude to this new heavy dance track by French DJ Mr Oizo. Manson offers his help by repeating "You look like shit when you dance" over and over again. Expect some major skanking to accompany this track.
