‣ Revolver, “Parallel Lives.” Gorgeous pop song from the French outfit who turned some heads last fall when they played Filter’s Culture Collide Festival. Their EP – the follow-up to 2010’s “Music for a While” – is out Feb. 22 on Astralwerks (and includes a cover of “Monk,” by L.A.’s Mini Mansions). Playing March 12 at the Satellite.

‣ Fergus & Geronimo, “Baby Don’t You Cry.” Fun, retro psych-pop out of Denton, Texas. The band’s album “Unlearn” just came out on Hardly Art, the Sub Pop-affiliated imprint.

‣ Now, Now, “Giants.” Shame on me for not sharing this before last weekend’s show at the Troubadour, but maybe you can catch this crunchy Minneapolis three-piece the next time through. Formerly called Now, Now Every Children, the band just released a new EP, “Neighbors.”
