The Last Shaddow Puppets : The Age Of The Understatement
Composed of one Arctic Monkey (Alex Turner) and one Rascal (Miles Kane), The Last Shadow Puppets have a deliciously retro sound. Inspired by early Bowie, Scott Walker and David Axelrod, The Age Of The Understatement soars above the indie competition with its witty lyrical repertoire and ravishing orchestral support.

Noah And The Whale : Peaceful The World Lays Me Down
Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down is the debut album from Noah And The Whale, author of one of this summer\'s most summery of songs 5 Years Time. As for the rest of the album, imagine warm, earnest, folky, guitar pop arranged with a variety of weird and wonderful sounding musical instruments.

Santogold : Santogold
We have become completely obsessed with Santogold since her single LES Artistes landed in the handbag.com office back in May. The rest of her debut is equally impressive: Perfectly worded pop songs are rinsed in waves of electro, punk and dub to form a heady combination off genre defying tracks which will have you swimming in a lake of musical pleasure for days, weeks, months, years to come.

MGMT : Oracular Spectacular
For tripped out sunny summer sounds, look no further than MGMT\'s first full-length album Oracular Spectacular. The whole album is a real breath of fresh, funky air but stand-out favourites include, Time To Pretend and the instant classic Electric Feel.

The Ting Tings : We Started Nothing
They\'ve been tipped for the top by just about everyone and have a fantastically kooky name. They make bubblgum pop spliced with a hint of indie attitude and they look hot as hell. Their debut album, We Started Nothing, is full of simplistic, bouncy, catchy, happy tunes that have quickly become the soundtrack to the summer of 2008.

Gabriella Cilmi : Lessons To Be Learned
Damn this girl can sing! It\'s difficult to imagine that an album like Lessons To Be Learned could have been made by a 16 year-old but that\'s exactly what Australian songstress Gabriella Cilmi has done. Full of fabulous songs that sound like they\'ve been influenced by everyone from Blondie to Led Zeppelin, Lessons To Be Learned is an essential summer purchase.

Goldfrapp : Seventh Tree
Having a bad day? Put this on. Goldfrapp\'s chilled-out, ethereal fourth album Seventh Tree really is a thing of beauty. Perfect for relaxing to beside some sun drenched pool somewhere with a tropical drink in your hand. Lovely, lovely stuff.

Alphabeat : This Is Alphabeat
They\'re being touted as the best Scandinavian band since ABBA. They sound like a happier, more colourful, guitar-synth-pop version of Deacon Blue. They have the coolest MySpace page we have ever seen. They are Alphabeat and we insist you buy their debut album This Is Alphabeat right now.

Sam Sparro : Sam Sparro
There\'s something about Sam Sparro\'s mix of old-school vocals and funky ‘80s style electro-pop that just makes us want to dance. We can\'t think of a better album to get us in the mood for a hot summer holiday, a sexy summer night on the tiles, or a BBQ-fuelled summer evening in the garden.

Duffy : Rockferry
Written and produced in collaboration with the wonderful Bernard Butler, Duffy\'s strapping debut Rockferry is 2008\'s ultimate must have album. Every track has something special to offer, whether its Duffy\'s smoking vocals or Butler\'s beautiful arrangements.
