WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Sometimes, musicians make music that sounds like it came from the future – and sometimes that music is pretty bad, forcing things together for the sake of innovation. However, sometimes – just sometimes – it feels so natural and effortless, that it is hard not to get overly excited. And so to KÁRYYN who has a…

NYC’s Hercules & Love Affair do one thing very well, and that is make bangers for you to dance to and shake all the wobbliest bits you’ve got with someone you love, even if you’ve only just met them on the dancefloor. Well, they’re at it again, this time celebrating Pride 2026 with a new…

If you listen to our sister show – FREE RANGE RADIO – you probably like listening to things more than you like reading them. Bad news then, because this is the reading equivalent to the show, where you get to cross reference what we played, just in case you want to buy a record or…

Psychedelic alt rock poppers, Of Montreal are back with a fuzzy new song which is worth sticking in your ears. Frontman Kevin Barnes says: “‘Take The Form is a song about trying to will a person into becoming something they’re not – something that you want them to be for your own benefit, and suffering…

The 2026 World Cup, regardless of what you think, is not just in the United States of America – it is actually hosted in all of our hearts, promoting world peace, unity amongst all races, people and, of course, Mexico and Canada too.

Power Pop in all its forms is back, spearheaded largely by The Lemon Twigs and a buncha snotty Aussie groups – but what of Power Pop with a Grunge-ish edge? What about sugary sweet songs that have a bit of bite? Well, if that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll find a lot to love with…

It almost seems pointless to write any words for this article when the headline should tell you everything you need to know. Either way, iconic Muppet psychedelic freaks Dr Teeth & The Electric Mayhem are performing some bangers for a new rollercoaster at Disney World in Orlando. They cover Blur, play ‘Love Rollercoaster’, ‘Born To…

Adam Neely’s video essays are always worth listening to – he’s smart, knows his theory, is a touring musician, and basically an academic about what matters. His latest video looks at AI in music education, what it means for music, the protests from students, the booing and more. Press play on this already, and subscribe…

There’s a style of R&B which touches on ’80s production while still sounding very modern, almost like it’s soul music made in the shadow of vaporwave, hence the headline. And Ravyn Lenae has a new track out which prompted us to think of that. She’s announced her third album, which will be out in August and goes…

Josh Caffe is a DJ and all-round renaissance man, so it is no surprise that his new track is making us want to go out and do the kinds of things that make our jaws stick out before bailing on the party to go home for some sexy time. Part electro, part breaks, part proto-house…
