    This week's must-listen tracks

    Check out the songs that have soundtracked this week at Gigwise.

    Passion Pit - Take A Walk
    Sometime a band returns from a long break and sounds like they brought the past with them *cough*Gossip*cough* but occasionally things sound refreshing and you remember just why the group won you round the first time. Step forward Passion Pit who gave us our first taste of their new album 'Gossamer' with this fun and breezy, Summer-perfect tune.

    Reptar - Three Shining Suns
    Reptar got the In Demand! treatment from us this week. Check out their brand new video to find out why.

    Meek Mill feat. Drake - Amen
    Meek Mill's Dreamchasers 2 mixtape has been downloaded a staggering 2.5m times since it was made available to download for free on Monday. Packed full of guest stars, the Drake assisted 'Amen' is one of the tapes prime cuts.

    Bonde Do Role - Kilo
    If scantily clad women playing pool with lemons, chalking cues with kiwis and wearing coconut bras while being squirted with milk sounds like your idea of fun then you're going to LOVE this video.

    Chew Lips - Do You Chew?
    Chew Lips offer up this free download ahead of their forthcoming second album. Mixing r&b, punk and electro influences, 'Do You Chew' signals a heavier sound for Chew Lips.

    TNGHT - Bugg'n
    Individually, both Lunice and Hudson Mohawke have been setting dancefloors off for the past few years so the prospect of seeing them team up is enough to get the whole dance world excited. Check out the first taste of their forthcoming EP now.

    Four Tet - Ocoras
    Four Tet announced this week that he was inspired by hardcore legends Fugazi to stage a massive show at Brixton Academy in November, charging just £5 for tickets. He also shared two new tracks including the huge 'Ocoras' which is already getting us in the mood for an all nighter this Winter.

    Ultraísta - Smalltalk
    Nigel Godrich steps out from behind his producers desk to reveal his new atmospheric, female-fronted electronica trio. Falling in nicely with the likes of Grimes, Foxes, Purity Ring, Ultraísta sound nothing like the band Godrich is most famously assosciated with, Radiohead.

    Ben Howard - Call Me Maybe
    Folk star covers fun pop song in ultra-serious fashion? Yes, this might be Radio 1 Live Lounge by numbers but Ben Howard's take on the teen anthem of 2012 is worth a listen.
