Today I take a look at some of the UK Pop music that’s grabbed my attention over the last few months. Some albums are about a year old but most of the music is within the last few months. Despite my crappy summer head cold, I enjoyed doing this one immensely.

• The Cribs – Men’s Needs (Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever)
• British Sea Power – A Trip Out (Do You Like Rock Music)
• The Wombats – Kill The Director (Proudly Present A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation)
• Supergrass – Outside (Diamond Hoo Ha)
• Roisin Murphy – Primitive (Overpowered)
• Manic Street Preachers – The Second Great Depression (Send Away The Tigers)
• The Kooks – Stormy Weather (Konk)
• Jamie Lidell – Hurricane (Jim)
