WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

There’s a lot of talk about the volume of languages and how much of a 180 ‘Lux’ is compared to Rosalia’s last LP, ‘MOTOMAMI’, so we’re going to swerve all that and just look at it for what it is, what it sounds like, and how it makes us feel. Of course, context is important

Bill Callahan’s lovely deep, soulful voice is back to grace your ears with the announcement of a new album. It’ll be called ‘My Days of 58’ and you’ll be able to hear the whole thing early next year on February 27th. Here’s the first song from it and it sounds exactly like you want a

The first trailer for the Michael Jackson biopic has dropped. The film is called ‘Michael’, which worries us slightly as it suggests it’s all going to be a little too kind and not gnarly enough to be a meaty movie.

If you’ve been waiting impatiently for a new album from Weyes Blood, you need to chill your boots. All good things come in their own time. Of course, she featured on a Drugdealer track earlier in the year, but she’s also appearing on a new track from SPELLING. And yes, we kinda feel bad that

Orville Peck is one of the leading alt-country voices – thankfully, that means his musical choices, rather than simply branding him as ‘alternative’ because he isn’t a heterosexual man – although you’d be forgiven for thinking that’s the case. He’s got a new EP coming out on November 14th called ‘Appaloosa’ and there’s a song
