Above: That’s Clean Bandit‘s video for their hit single “Rather Be” featuring Jess Glynne on vocals. The British group, whose members produce their own electronic music that also features their talents on strings, make their U.S. debut at the Roxy on Tuesday night in support of their debut album “New Eyes.” Made In Heights opens.

Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Dean Wareham, of Galaxie 500, Luna and Dean & Britta fame, has released his first solo album. “Dean Wareham” was produced by Jim James of My Morning Jacket, and it’s flat-out magical. He plays the Roxy on Thursday.

@Seraphina_L recommends: Tall hair, fancy feet, oh and that great voice, will make their way to the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday evening via headliner and show-woman Janelle Monae. She stops by this summer in support of her latest album “The Electric Lady.” Also playing the Bowl that night: Seun Kuti and Egypt 80.
