WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Forgive the click bait headline – this isn’t a Daft Punk interview technically – however, it IS an in depth interview with Thomas Bangalter. That’s still big. Of course Thomas, along with Guy-Man, were effectively silent since the second Daft Punk album, so whenever there’s any sighting of them since then, it’s very exciting. While…

Look, we’re on record as being big fans of the New Radicals’ Power Pop hit, ‘You Only Get What You Give’, and if you don’t like it, you’ve got it all wrong in your head. Just because it was a runaway success and omnipresent, doesn’t mean it isn’t a banger. If you want to read…

Wolf Alice have covered The Roches’ absolutely legendary ’79 acid-folk gem ‘Hammond Song’, for an imminent project and, all things being fair, we’re including both versions here, in case you haven’t heard the original. First thing’s first, here’s the Roches version which is the kind of song that will have you feel like you’re floating…
-
Tom Waits made a surprising return with Massive Attack lately on a track called ‘Boots On The Ground’, which made for an intense, insular listen about some of the global bullshit going on at the minute. Well, he’s back some more, releasing the full version of his spoken-word track ‘The Fly’, which of course, you…

Flo Milli is going to release her fourth LP later this year, and to tease the release of course, there’s a new song to listen to. The album is called ‘FloState’ (that’s neat) and it’ll be on Jive. There’s no firm details on it just yet, but there’s a new psychedelic, syrupy number to listen…
-
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.

NEW DAFT PUNK INTERVIEW
Forgive the click bait headline – this isn’t a Daft Punk interview technically – however, it IS an in depth interview with Thomas Bangalter. That’s still big. Of course Thomas, along with Guy-Man, were effectively silent since the second Daft Punk album, so whenever there’s any sighting of them since then, it’s very exciting. While…

NEW RADICALS ARE BACK, SURPRISINGLY
Look, we’re on record as being big fans of the New Radicals’ Power Pop hit, ‘You Only Get What You Give’, and if you don’t like it, you’ve got it all wrong in your head. Just because it was a runaway success and omnipresent, doesn’t mean it isn’t a banger. If you want to read…

TOM WAITS IS BACK, WITH THE FUNNIES
Tom Waits made a surprising return with Massive Attack lately on a track called ‘Boots On The Ground’, which made for an intense, insular listen about some of the global bullshit going on at the minute.
