WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The wonderful thing about ageing is the acknowledgment of the relentless passing of time. Your knees start hurting. Your sleep is disturbed because you need to get up in the middle of the night to pee. You can end up in a full body brace because your sock was folded slightly oddly in your shoe,…

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…

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…

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…

Call it foolhardiness. Call it what you want, but the chances of this making any money is basically nil, and thankfully,…

Like skateboarding itself, it’s not just about the activity itself – it is equally about the lifestyle that envelopes it. Sports games tend to…

MJ LENDERMAN TOUR
Every time country music goes worldwide, lurking in the sidelines, is someone making a more record-collector version of country, and they get all the scruffy boys and girls all giddy! This time around, it is MJ Lenderman who is carrying the torch of Silver Jews-esque slacker country, and it’s great. Good news for people in Europe,…

SUMMER RAP FROM SAMARA CYN
It is always nice to have a bit of hip hop which feels like it was made for the summer. Laid back, witty, vibey affairs to bop along to while you’re going about your business. Thanks to Samara Cyn, we’ve got some of that going on, just in time for some nicer Spring weather. The…

BALEARIC FUN FROM JOY OLADOKUN
We don’t know a huge amount about Joy Oladokun, but we know we like this song when we heard it! It’s a great little chugger – Balearic beat, you might say. You might not. It’s a fine vibe though, and we can see it popping off while you’re having a dance in your living room…
