WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

  • CAMI LAYÉ OKÚN

    Cami Layé Okún is one of the finest and funnest DJs around right now. Playing music from Cuba (and elsewhere, but you need a hook, right?) she’s all about that rhythm and sunshine melody! This is not so much a piece where we need to write a great deal – basically, go follow her on…

  • WE NEEDED ICE SPICE

    Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they…

  • RAULT

    Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault…

  • BEGIN TRANSMISSION

    What’s the deal here? A music blog, being launched in a time when blogging is absolutely dead, especially trying to cover music? What’s the point in that? Well, call it a labour of love. Call it foolhardiness. Call it what you want, but the chances of this making any money is basically nil, and thankfully,…

  • NOT LIKE US / HYPER LOCAL MOVEMENTS

    Whether society at large has completely had it with capitalism and global dominance or not, remains to be seen. However, there’s a number of wars on and the tech bros dominance has seen a small shift in thinking which may blossom into something broader. On both ends of the political spectrum, it is obvious that…

  • ACE WEIRD POP FROM LYRA PRAMUK

    We missed Lyra Pramuk’s music released in previous years, but that doesn’t lessen the fun of listening to this new song called ‘Vega’, which is pop music, but off-kilter and a bit weird and gonzo, which we like. This release will be on her new label – pop.soil – and on the press release, it…

  • PYNCH’S JANGLE POP IS FUN

    We admittedly don’t know much about Pynch, but that’s okay, because we’re going to get to know them more after hearing the new single from them called ‘The Supermarket’. It has jangly guitars and they seem like they might be too cool to smile in photos, which is always fun. Press play, now, if you…

  • NEW LITTLE SIMZ

    Little Simz has announced a new album called ‘Lotus’ and, of course, if you’re not interested in reading any words about this, you can just scroll down and listen to a track instead. It’s fine by us. We’re not precious or getting paid for any of this. The new song is called ‘Flood’ and it is…
