WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Denzel Curry has a new rap group and they’re going by the name The Scythe and honestly, it feels good to have a hip hop outfit doing the rounds after years and years of solo artistry – we need more collectives in rap music (and R&B too)! With that, they’ve shared a new track from…
-
There’s a new Snail Mail LP coming and that means we get to listen to some music before the whole thing drops in March. And with that, let us listen to a new song that’s performed from a hot air balloon! Fun! Lindsey Jordan – that’s Snail Mail’s real name of course – says “‘My…

DJ Rebeca Remp has a lovely video on YouTube which you should like – it’s basically a morning vibey mix of Brazilian music while they have some breakfast with some pals. In the mix, you’ll find loads of lovely stuff, including music from Gilberto Gil, Djavan, Céu, Juliana Linhares, João Gomes, Felipe Cordeiro, and loads…

In 2004, Kid Rock appeared at the Super Bowl halftime show, and performed a song called ‘Bawitdaba’, where he rapped “all the crackheads, the critics, the cynics and all my heroes in the Methadone clinics, all you bastards at the IRS… for the shots of Jack and the caps of Meth.” That was the same…

It’s easy to think you’ll never forgive J Cole for one of the worst lines in rap history, when he delivered “dick so big it’s like a foot is in yo mouth”, but there’s so much more to pick apart. If you like vague philosophical generalisation passed off as being some kind of heir to…

Donny Benet is a wonderful musician and seems like a swell guy to boot. Talented, good taste, well dressed and funny as well – what’s not to like? He’s just dropped ‘Midnight Appointment’ which is the fourth single from his upcoming instrumental album “il Basso”. Get your copy at donnybenet.com if you know what’s good…

A lot of people talk about The Beach Boys like they’re the US equivalent of The Beatles, but that’s always missed the mark in what makes the Wilsons & Co such a fascinating prospect. Fact is, The Beach Boys were messier and weirder than the Fabs. The wheels frequently fell off and even die-hard fans…

The Notwist are back and we already gave you a heads-up on their new album – you’ve only yourself to blame if you’ve not been checking in. If you missed it, luckily for you, we’re sharing yet another song from their forthcoming new LP, ‘News From Planet Zombie’. ‘Projectors’ is the latest one, with brassy…

The Super Furry renaissance continues apace as everyone gets ready for their return to the stage later in the year, and we get a reissue of some of their early music. They’ll be reissuing their two Ankst EPs on vinyl on Friday 1 May 2026, with some fun added bits tacked on for good measure too! It’s…

Iggy has lived a charmed life, and chosen so many interesting duets and collaborations. It is always worth pricking an ear to who he’s working with, and this time, it is Anna Calvi who is no slouch herself. “He’s disruptive, raw, and honest — a singular force,” Anna Calvi says of old Ig; “his presence…

ROXY MUSIC RARITIES AND DEMOS
Roxy Music are flinging the doors of their vaults open to give fans a real treat for the reissue of their ‘For Your Pleasure’ album, which is set to land on November 6th. Skip the words if you’ve heard enough and need to go and find a pre-order link somewhere, because we’re not giving it…

IBIZA 1976
Ibiza has gone through a number of changes over the years – it went from some counterculture acid house haunt, to being a key destination for package holidays and stag-do’s, and yet, all the while, it maintained some mystical feeling away from the English pubs and nightclubs of San Antonio. The north of the island…

TINASHE IS HITTING A CAREER PEAK
Tinashe’s original mixtapes and self-produced music showed an absolutely world class talent and with ‘2 On’, she looked all-set for a lengthy and brilliant career. Then, stupid record companies and management got in the way, and it looked like we were all set to lose her to the ether. The duet with Chris Brown looked…

REVIEW / TYGA / STARFACE
We’re not entirely sure who listens to Tyga these days. Sure, ‘Rack City’ rode the wave of DJ Mustard beats when it came out, but now, we’re not really sure where he lands. He was briefly better known for dating one of the Kardashian clan, and the less said about that the better. See, he’s…
