WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Hannah Jadagu is new to us, but never mind all that – we really like her new single called ‘Doing Now’, and you might really like it too! The track will appear on new album – ‘Describe’ – which we can hear in full in October, and released on the mighty Sub Pop, which is…
-
The impact of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ is about as large as sound appearing in movies and TV turning into colour. It’s the song that booted the doors open for rock music. A swirling, technicolour, brain melter of a track, it used tape loops and brilliant imagination to usher in The Beatles psychedelic period, and even…

Remember when the United States of America wasn’t nearly as difficult to look at. Obama was president and while guilty of some Politician Shit, at least he seemed capable, wore the title with a sense of responsibility, and could go for weeks without making any scandalous headlines. Back then, Donald Trump was a noisy conspiracy…
-
We wrote about the last Automatic release because it was pretty awesome, and now there’s a newer one that’s making us think that we need to keep them in mind, as the next LP might be a total winner. The newest song is called ‘Lazy’ and like the last one, it has a super fun…
-
keiyaA is a new artist to us, but we gather a previous release was called ‘Camille’s Daughter’, and got decent reviews. Well, this is the first new music since then, and it is one of the most luxurious, rich R&B tracks we’ve heard in ages. The new song goes by the title ‘Stupid Prizes’ and…

Choosing what music you’d have played at your funeral is a fun game, if you’re the kind of person who likes making arbitrary lists of tunes while you’re sat on the sofa or down the pub. If you’re reading about music for no good reason, chances are you’re one of those people. So what do…

We wrote a love letter to Tatyana’s album and redux, because frankly, there’s other artists getting their flowers when she was basically in there first. Not everyone has major label promo money, so it’s important we yell about the great music she’s releasing. Thankfully, she keeps putting out cool stuff, and now there’s ‘Overdue’ which…

Look, it doesn’t matter if you heard ‘Police Truck’ by the Dead Kennedys via Tony Hawk, a punk club in the ’80s, or any particular place – it’s essential listening whenever it hits you. With that, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard got DK’s Jello Biafra on stage with them to perform the legendary track,…
-
Well, we predicted it, along with all the other Beatles fans who had been keeping their eye on things. There’s going to be a remastered Anthology documentary on Disney+, cleaned up records, and also, a reissue of the weighty and brilliant Anthology book. Pre-orders are go, so if you’re looking for CDs or LP boxsets,…

One of the most exciting designers on the planet, Raissa Pardini has been rubbing shoulders with giants like the Rolling Stones, MTV, NY Times, Willie Nelson, Nike, Paul Weller, Brian Eno, as well as having her work acquired by the V&A. There’s also been a raft of gig posters from underground groups, showing that Pardini…

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…
