WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Coco & Clair Clair may have been the first LP we reviewed this site (we’re not checking – it’s better to go with your gut) and we loved it. The bitchiest you-can’t-sit-with-us BratHop album ever recorded. If you’re not on it, you’re missing out. Anyway, we’ve just stumbled across a deluxe edition of their brilliant…

Update your psych playlists, because Hot Garbage have just released a fuzz-doom monster that’ll tickle all your various pickles! Hailing from Toronto, Hot Garbage are getting ready for the release of the next LP ‘Precious Dream’, and you’ll be able to grab that on January 19th. January is always good for underground releases, as all…

Hey Stereolab fans! Good news for you. Laetitia Sadier has announced a solo album called ‘Rooting For Love’. That’ll be out in February 2024 via Drag City (they’re a cool label aren’t they? Yep. They are) and it’ll be her first since her 2017 outing, which has a long name that we can’t be bothered…
-
As much as we love glittery pop and divas, it’s fair to say that the media landscape’s representation of gay people can be rather one-dimensional. So with that, we’ve just caught wind of something that looks to shake things up in a fun way, and it’s got a real zinger of a name whichever way…

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy released some new stuff recently and notably, there was an LP called ‘Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You’. In true Prince Bill form, the song of the same name didn’t feature and he’s released it afterwards. It’s not that confusing or that deep. What it is, is a really good Bonny ‘Prince’ Billy…

Of course, most people know Anthony Burgess as the titan behind the frantic and somewhat savage ‘A Clockwork Orange’, but maybe less well known is that the writer was a frustrated musician. Initially an indifferent music listener, it wasn’t until he heard ‘Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune’ by Debussy that his world turned upside down, and…

Not everything we cover on here is music. Pop Culture is more than bands, even though we’re most interested in music. However, here’s a diversion for your eyes. Evasive makes brilliant videos and you should go subscribe immediately. Informative and blah blah, but very funny and super dry. They’re great ideas too, such as ‘making’…

If you’re into bossa nova and cool jazz, then we’ve got some good news for you! You don’t have to ferret around looking for old LPs (as nice as that is), because in January, there’s a new one that’ll tickle your pickle. Called ‘The Room’, the cut is by Brazilian guitarist Fabiano do Nascimento and…

The Lemonheads are coming back and your mum is going to be thrilled. Or maybe you’re the thrilled mum? We don’t use mum in a derogatory way, like only stoopid girls like Evan Dando’s music, because women have always had impeccable taste in music and, it’s no secret that Dando’s brand of jangly indie is a…

Remember Indie Sleaze? You should, because a load of people who loved it an university and sixth form are now the age where they’re editing music pages in broadsheets and making documentaries and all that, so it’s about to go full-blown-revival. The fashion was chaotic and fun, and there were some decent tunes in there…

WILLIE COLÓN RIP
When Bad Bunny name-checked Willie Colón is his mega-hit ‘Nuevayol’, he knew exactly what he was doing – he was placing himself squarely next to one of Puerto Rico’s greatest sons. Born in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents, Colón recorded some of Fania Records most legendary and culturally significant records. Fusing salsa, jazz, funk,…

SAMM HENSHAW WITH A SONG YOU’LL LIKE
Samm Henshaw has been making something of a name for himself, getting support from the likes of James Bay, Chance the Rapper, and various Radio One DJs, and based on this song we stumbled across, it isn’t surprising really. We tripped over ‘Hair Down’ which is a super soulful number, that has that kinda choral…

JONNY GREENWOOD VS POLITICS
When you’re in a band that’s done rather well out of sloganeering and hitting out at politicians and capitalist society and all that, it’s a bit rich when you suddenly start trying to heal the world by simply shrugging at everything, which is the position Jonny Greenwood seems to find himself in. Of course, Radiohead…

COOL ASS SOUTHERN RAP FROM DENZEL CURRY’S NEW GROUP
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…
