Iglu & Hartly: 'In This City'

Their name sounds like an Anglo-Icelandic law firm, but Iglu & Hartly are actually a rap-rock band from California. To put it mildly, this lot aren't angsty Radiohead types. If this single's video is anything to go by, they spend their days eating, drinking, skateboarding, dicking about on the beach and rawking out onstage with their tops off.

On paper, the track itself sounds almost as messy as the new Bond theme. The list of ingredients: stadium rock drums, shedloads of synths, bursts of folky guitar, keyboard sounds last heard in 1987 and plenty of Anthony Kiedis-style rapping. But it's all held together by one of the year's most infectious pop choruses, which makes it stupidly enjoyable as well as a little bit stupid.
