WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
You’ve probably heard by now, that there’s a fancy, deluxe version of ‘Rubber Soul’ by The Beatles coming out, right? While we could slavishly cut and paste the tracklistings for the various discs to pad out the word count for this article like most publications have, we’ll assume you’ve got the wherewithal to find out…
-
What do you know about Sylvan Esso? We don’t know anything about them, but the algorithm did its job for once and gave us this new song from them. They’re a duo, it’s a pretty nice song that has a whiff of trip hop about it, but not entirely, with a catchy nursery rhyme melody…
-
We’ve written about the Womack Sisters a couple of times now, and we’ve getting more excited every time they release another song, and now it’s getting silly. This brand new track now puts them in the ‘highly anticipated’ section of our hearts for any album that’s due! Smoking hot soul music with the kinds of…

Noname is a unique voice in music at the minute (complimentary) and she’s back with a new track which is on a topic we’re not sure we’ve heard before. She’s telling the tale – along with the ever lovely Dram – of a squatter moving into her house while she was away on tour. This…

If you like bubbling analogue synthesisers and bucolic loveliness, then you absolutely need to get on the new track from Bibio and Dorian Concept. It’s called ‘Shame’ and we don’t know a whole lot more about it than what we’ve listened to, but honestly, you can enjoy it for what it is. Gorgeous.

Unreleased Prince music is always exciting, and as anyone knows, there’s a metric tonne of it in the Paisley Park vaults. Prince was a prolific man, and then some. Well, there’s a new leak out, of a gorgeous, smooth jam which would have appeared on his debut LP (we think) called ‘Whenever’ that’s appeared online.…
-
Power Pop never really went away, as everyone with any sense about them likes pure pop coupled with jangly guitars. That said, there seems to be something of a resurgence afoot, and that’s good news for us at least – and should be for you too. And so, to this new track from Kiwi Jr…

Sometimes, you need someone to arrive right on time, feeling like they’re saving something. Twisted Teens have a new album out called ‘Florida Water Blues’, and it feels like someone saved Garage Punk. See, Garage Punk never went away for the salivating few, but The Hives are a good time rock ‘n’ roll band who…

Ever hear some song and think it sounds like the kind of record that’ll cost you two grand to track down in ten year’s time? Well, that’s the crushingly gorgeous sound of Strawberry Hands, who channels Skip Spence, loner country, psychedelic private press folk, outsider psych, Townes Van Zandt, and all the good bits of…

When Tinashe broke free from her old record deal, she promptly set about doing things her own way, just like she did when she was on the come up. She’s gone from strength to strength in recent years, and lately, she’s been a one-woman crunk revival, which is definitely no bad thing. A couple of…

SYLVAN ESSO NEW SONG IS PRETTY NICE
What do you know about Sylvan Esso? We don’t know anything about them, but the algorithm did its job for once and gave us this new song from them. They’re a duo, it’s a pretty nice song that has a whiff of trip hop about it, but not entirely, with a catchy nursery rhyme melody…

GET EXCITED FOR THE WOMACK SISTERS

NEW NONAME TRACK ABOUT A SQUATTER
