WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We played ‘Roamer’ by Spill Tab on our latest radio show, and really liked it. Apparently, she’s from Thailand and has relocated to Los Angeles to make some really fun Alt Pop (we’re not entirely sure of the genre there, honestly), with bedroom production DIY chic mixed with some New Wave goodness. Well, we thought…
-
To simply refer to Asha Bhosle as an iconic singer doesn’t quite capture the influence and reach of her towering voice in Bollywood and Indian culture – she is one of the defining voices of any generation, and she has passed away aged 92. Spanning eight decades, Bhosle recorded tens of thousands of songs and…

One thing that’s really nice about The Lemon Twigs, is just how prolific they are. They always seem to have new music out, which keeps us (and them) entertained. And the quality isn’t letting up, which is pretty remarkable. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Look For Your Mind’ and there’s already singles…

Kelela is back, and it’s a little bit different from the artist you knew. She’s burned down her socials and whatnot, to start afresh, which would point to her releasing a new album, or new ‘era’ if that’s your thing. You can listen to ‘Idea 1’ right now, of which she says is about “what…

The latest radio show is here made by us – FREE RANGE / APRIL 2026 – and there’s loads of good music to be had and listened to for free, because that’s how we do things here, right? No sponsors – do it for the love of the game. There’s music from Trinidad, Brazil, Niger,…

ARE BOARDS OF CANADA COMING BACK?! Look, something is happened, and while you’d be wise to not get too excited, it’s hard not to. They’ve not released anything since 2013 with ‘Tomorrow’s Harvest’, but now, they’ve sent some VHS tapes to some fans and as you’d expect, nothing is clear or straightforward. The people who…

Aldous Harding has released a new track and what we’ve learned from it is, the new album of hers is shaping up to be very, very good indeed. The LP goes by the name of ‘Train on the Island’, and you can hear the whole thing on May 8th. The first single was ‘One Stop’…

With Elmiene’s album, Ego Ella May’s new album ‘Good Intentions’ is a gorgeous one-two punch of jazzy R&B goodness. For fans of Gilles Peterson’s radio show, for Sade heads, for Neo Soul crunch types, for anyone looking for music that feels like jazz, but forward faces, Ego Ella May is the artist for you. Raised…
-
With The Strokes announcing a new album, it’s probably a good time to have a rummage through their back catalogue on THEPOPCORPS, right? Lauded as game-changers and spearheads of the Indie Sleaze scene, they’re a group that never quite hit with us, even though on paper, they should have. Garage Punk sensibilities, New York trash,…

Sabrina Carpenter seems to be living her best life these days, and that’s exactly the kind of thing you want to see your pop stars doing – nice clothes, drunk cigs and splashy pop videos where everyone gets to play dress up. Concerning the latter, she’s released a new video which you’re inevitably going to…

ASHA BHOSLE RIP
To simply refer to Asha Bhosle as an iconic singer doesn’t quite capture the influence and reach of her towering voice in Bollywood and Indian culture – she is one of the defining voices of any generation, and she has passed away aged 92.
