Every week, Hype Monitor wades through the most buzzed-about bands all across the Internet. This week: a few choice picks from the charts at BlogFreshRadio.

The Band: Ratatat
The Buzz: Brooklyn duo makes clever, clattering floor-fillers with nods to both rock and techno.
Listen If: You play guitar along to Daft Punk tracks because you're plagued by the feeling something's missing.
Key Track: "Shiller" is his latest, and it's so controlled and restrained it's almost taunting: nothing but music box synthesizers and an ominous bass thrum.

The Band: This Is Ivy League
The Buzz: Covert crew members on the Cobra Starship go undercover as twee-hugging indiepoppers. In fairness: they were in Ivy League first, but someone has to pay for that Snakes on a Plane song.
Listen If: You do the bulk of your record shopping in the dollar bins at Salvation Army and know your Left Banke from your Free Design.
Key Track: "Love is Impossible," which scoots along on sugared-up percussion, decked out with bleary brass and broad, bright strumming.

The Band: Spiritualized
The Buzz: Rock vets break a long hibernation with a song that trades their druggy majesty for genuine penitnence.
Listen If: You wish there was a little more room for imperfection (and songs about the same) on the pop charts.
Key Track: "Soul on Fire," from the forthcoming Songs in A&E, which is about the best junkie-gospel this side of Marianne Faithfull.
