New band of the day: November 2010 playlist

Hello, and welcome to the latest in New band of the day 's monthly hook-ups with SoundCloud. A playlist of the best tracks by the best new artists to have featured in our column these past few weeks, plus the odd track from an old New Band, as it were, with some fresh material to promote, to show that they don't just vanish without trace after appearing on NBOTD. Just think of it as one of those free CDs you get with the monthly classic rock mags, only instead of Bob Dylan covers by drive-by truckers (or, indeed, Drive-By Truckers ), you get lots of lovely original new music by some of the best new solo performers and agglomerates of individuals ("bands", we believe they're called, hence the column's title) anywhere on the planet. You name the place, we scour it for new music. It's a mixtape, is what it is, and this month's one comprises our strongest lineup yet. You get two of the highest-touted new bands of the moment in the Vaccines (who are reviving lo-fi fuzz pop) and Brother (who are reviving Britpop). There's the Milk's take on northern soul and Lauren Pritchard's take on Memphis soul. Porcelain Raft does solipsist melancholy even better than Perfume Genius and Idiot Glee . Oxford's Trophy Wife and LA's Kisses do New Order 1985 better than New Order have (since 1985). Rumer drops by to remind us that we were right about her way back in the mists of time when we first wrote about her (OK, it was earlier this summer). DJ Nate – not on parole, contrary to reports – shows us some fancy "footwurk" . Phaeleh, Becoming Real and Darkstar suggest that dubstep is a broad church. Tristram and the Mariner's Children confirm that folk is not a dirty word. Muchuu, the Narcoleptic Dancers and Let's Buy Happiness put the glee into twee. ANR and the Naked and Famous remind us of MGMT when they wanted to be pop stars. And How to Dress Well, oOoOO, MillionYoung, Sleep Over and Water Borders prove what we've suspected for two years now: that the devil drones, haunted atmospherica, mangled melodies and ghostly R&B being made under the names of witch house, drag and chillwave are as beautiful as anything we've heard in years.
