WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
More new music from Jay Som who has her first new music out in six whole years. The new album is called ‘Belong’, and you’ll be able to hear the full thing TODAY if you head to your favourite platform or local indie. This new song from it, is called ‘Past Lives’, and features Paramore’s…

When music lacks the usual verse-chorus-verse, it’s difficult to explain why you like it. Like a good techno album, you’re found waving your hands around and saying “I dunno – it just works and it’s all great!”, as you try and pinpoint various sections that made your brain fizz. Likewise, when faced with ambient music,…

Fcukers aren’t exactly Too Cool To Smile In Photos, but they have a similar vibe as they seem like the kind of kids who know where all the cool parties are, and you find out about them a full six months after they got bored of them. Either way, they’ve put a new song out…
-
The PinkPantheress really surprised us by how much we enjoyed it. It’s a potted history of UK dance music, shot through a bubblegum pop lens, and top to bottom, the whole thing is infectious as hell. Well, there’s a remix album of ‘Fancy That’ which is a star-studden affair. Better still is that you won’t…
-
Forgive the mildly clickbait headline, but there’s a chance you recognise the name Little Dragon and don’t know the members of it. Lead singer from the project, Yukimi, has got some solo bits out. Seeing as Little Dragon were pretty great, then this is good news for fans of them, right? This track – ‘All…

Matt Berry, real heads know, is a fabulous musician as well as a fine comedic actor. Killer psych, folk, and remakes of tricksy TV themes – he’s our kinda guy! Well, you need to see an advert he’s made for Telepathic Instruments with Jermaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords fame. What a dream pairing…
-
We already told you that the Super Furry Animals are back, and you knew before we’d even told you – it’s good news for anyone who is a fan of psychedelic pop, glam stompers and adventures rock, right? Well, with the 20th anniversary edition of Love Kraft coming out, there’s a song from those sessions…

Nardwuar might just be the nicest interviewer on the planet, with his deep dives and enthusiasm paired with his DIY aesthetic. He’s been at it for years and you wish him all the luck in the world as he scratches around record shops and basement shows, as well as interviewing some of music’s biggest names.…

Nightlife is changing in the UK, and not for the better. Everything being more expensive is hurting businesses and customers alike, resulting in fewer people wanting to go out, and ultimately, it’s our sense of community and literal togetherness is lost. Another legend is closing their doors as G-A-Y in Soho have said that it…

When you’re fully in the lore of standom, every utterance from your favourite artist is either an in-joke, or breadcrumbs to follow for some deeper meaning. And that’s where we’re at with the stratospherically successful Taylor Swift who, in terms of ticket sales and hit records, can basically do no wrong. However, what if you’re…

ARE VIAGRA BOYS A BIT GLAMMY?
We haven’t really listened to Viagra Boys, but they’re very popular amongx the punx. They’ve got their new LP out in April, but in the meantime, have a new single out called ‘Man of Meat’. The album will be launched on their own label and will be called ‘Viagr Aboys’, and this new track sounds…

NEW CHANCE TRACK
The way Chance the Rapper fell off is a sad thing, but he’s been steadily putting new bits out in a bid to reignite the fervour that accompanied ‘Acid Rap’ and ‘Colouring Book’. Whether or not it was unfair, it is always worth cupping your ear when Chance puts something out, so do exactly that…
-
SELF ESTEEM IS ON THE NOSE
Self Esteem is back with a new single called ‘Focus is Power’, and it’s all very uplifting and self-helpy, and honestly, with the level of devoted fanbase she’s got, they’ll probably lap this up. She’s good people, so that’s nice. There’s a new LP due called ‘A Complicated Woman’ with very striking artwork (which you…

THE PILL HATE YOUR MULLET
The Pill don’t like mullets. They’re done. They’re cooked. Their new single is called ‘Money Mullet’ and is about this fact. They’re another chaotic punkish group from the Isle of Wight (there’s something afoot down there, clearly) and it reminds us of the kind of indie-punk that was a mainstay in the ’90s, causing chaos in…
