WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Hello! May is here, which means it is time for those who listen to the FREE RANGE radio show we make, to briefly visit the site to see what the tracklist for the show was for the latest programme. There’s music from Mali, Italy, Ghana, France, Brazil, Turkey, Cameroon, France, Suriname, India, the US and…

We miss the days of frivolous, immersive websites with easter eggs and games and interactive things on them. With that, we remembered the interactive game that featured on the old Boards of Canada site, and thankfully, there’s a document of it! Uploaded to YouTube and featuring the music of BoC – therefore very pleasant indeed…

Keigo Oyamada is better known as Cornelius, and he’s one of the most inventive musicians on the planet, and has been for ages. The last thing we wrote about was an absolute gem, and you can hear it here. He’s back with a new tune, to mark the signing to label Eat Your Own Ears…

Nia Archives looks like someone who is set to take over the world, having all the ingredients for a full-on, proper star. Like, she’s grabbed drum ‘n’ bass by the lapels and shook it up the most since the day of, say, Roni Size and Goldie – ready to be a face for the genre. Well,…

It always feels like it’s Autumn in Noah Kahan’s heart, which is no bad thing if you’re making the kind of music that sensitive souls feel nourished and supported by. And now, after becoming a gigantic star, he’s arrived at an album where he’s surely been asking some questions of himself. See, Kahan is a…

Charli XCX is making a rock album. She’s been pretty funny about her post-Brat moves, saying that she’s okay with it being a flop etc. In a Vogue interview – always good for a quote – she declared that “the dance floor is dead”, which of course it isn’t, but toward guitars she goes and…

Don’t be fooled by the headline – we’re not saying anyone is a saddo for liking Alex G – he makes perfectly good music for perfectly nice people. However, we have noticed that a number of his fans seem to be a little depressed and have made him their spokesperson, of a fashion. I wonder…

If you’re into synthesiser music, someone coming at it with a fresh angle is always welcome – enter Manuela. A new album is due in June, and the first track reminds us of Karen Dalton, if she was produced by Eno – how about that?! The new record is called ‘Ultraviolet’ and follows some hot…

Have you felt it in the air? R&B summer is upon us and Momo Boyd’s ‘Oops’ single is yet another signpost for it! There’s been a host of great R&B releases and mercifully, there’s real diversity after the genre suffered from being mildly stuck in the mud for a while. We’ll eventually do a whole…

Sophia Stel says she’s a pop star, but don’t expect the glittery sheen of Sabrina Carpenter here. This pop filled with doom. She’s just released a new single called ‘Bitches Talk Shit’ which kinda underlines that point. Sophia has been getting a lot of people’s knickers in a twist and is setting off on a UK…

REMEMBER THE BOARDS OF CANADA GAME?
We miss the days of frivolous, immersive websites with easter eggs and games and interactive things on them. With that, we remembered the interactive game that featured on the old Boards of Canada site, and thankfully, there’s a document of it!
