Jack Garratt

Chvrches

Bombino

The Niger-born Tuareg guitarist found a worldwide audience for his brand of desert blues-rock with the Dan Auerbach-produced album Nomad. His follow-up, Azel, is due April 1. Watch Bombino play "Tar Hani" at WXPN's XPoNential Festival via VuHaus.

Lucius

5 p.m. ET

Beloved for their powerful unison singing over catchy pop songs (along with their propensity for matching outfits), Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe just released their second album, Good Grief. Watch Lucius perform "Born Again Teen" for WXPN via VuHaus.

Hinds

Ana Perrote, Carlotta Cosials, Ade Martín and Amber Grimbergen make up the charismatic Madrid garage-pop band, which put out its debut full-length record, Leave Me Alone, in January. Watch Hinds perform "Fat Calmed Kiddos" for KEXP via VuHaus.
