Hey there. I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! A bunch of our SubModern reporters took a week off so our spins are down overall, but we carry on with the charts, where we have two new #1's this week. First up on the singles chart, Blondshell returns only about a year after her second album with a preview of her third in the form of "Heart Has To Work So Hard". And on the album chart, it's indie legends Future Islands with a double-sized compilation of rarities from over their twenty year career, From A Hole In The Floor To A Fountain Of Youth.

Cigarettes After Sex have the #2 track this week with the debut of "Twizzler", which surely makes mouths happy. Two more debuting singles are tied at #3 - "Blowin' Up" by Kiwi Jr. and "Shooting Shadows" by Sweeping Promises. Two returning tunes, "Try Try Try" by Hovvdy (last week's #1) and "Wait" by King Falcon, are tied at #5, before another new one, "Nobody's Coming To Save You" by Gurriers, lands at #7. "Cotton Flower", one of the many tracks from Future Islands' aforementioned compilation, got played the most and made the top ten at #8. And then we close it out with a five-way tie at #9, including singles by Caroline Rose, Father John Misty, Graham Coxon, Panic Shack, and Post Sex Nachos.

Weird Nightmare's Hoopla makes its way back up the album chart, tied at #2 with King Falcon's forthcoming Bloom EP. Blurguitarist Graham Coxon's 2011 record Castle Park shows up at #4 a few weeks ahead of its long-delayed release. Next at #6 is Everyone For Ten Minutes from Bleachers before a tale of two clubs tied at #7 - The Bug Club with Every Single Muscle and sundayclub's self-titled debut. Another tie at #8 is between I Built You A Tower from Death Cab For Cutie and I'm No Longer Afraid of Heights from Sungaze. Finally, we again have a top ten closing five-way tie, here featuring albums from April + Vista, The Haunted Youth, Kurt Vile, Social Distortion, and Swapmeet.

If you want the full details on those ties and beyond, head to the full charts for the top twenty-five albums and singles. And get the scoop on the new tunes coming your way this week on the Available For Airplay list. It includes albums from All Them Witches, The Bug Club, Deer Tick, Ecca Vandal, Guided By Voices, Iceage, Kurt Vile, Little Barrie, Sparta, and others, plus singles by Gilla Band, Jens Lekman, Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, The Tallest Man On Earth, Wild Pink, and so much more. That's it for this week and this month. Catch you again in June!
