WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Whether you think of her music as experimental electronica, or future R&B, we can all agree that Kelela is fantastic. And she’s back with a new single called ‘Contact’. She’ll be releasing a new LP called ‘RAVEN’ which is bound to be fantastic on Feb 10th. New album ‘RAVEN’ is out on February 10th. And…

Hey. Think your record collection is proof of you frittering your money away when you could have put a deposit down on a house? Well, watch this video. Your record collection is absolutely small fry compared to this guy from Hong Kong. A short video, so just watch it.

Pink Floyd are going to be doing a whole load of things for the anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon. It’ll be 50 and there’s going to be deluxe boxsets and all that stuff, which honestly, you can go and find out about yourself because we’re only mentioning this because the anniversary happens to…

Bona fide legend and founding member of two of America’s greatest ever groups, David Crosby, has passed away aged a remarkable 81. Founding member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, Croz has left a musical footprint that’ll take some filling. His wife released a statement to Variety: “It is with great sadness after a…

Reissues are great aren’t they? Sometimes original pressings are hard to get hold of. Sometimes they’re prohibitively expensive. Sometimes the original pressing sounds like dogshit. Sometimes the vinyl is flimsy. Sometimes you’ve worn your copy out and would like a fresh one for the turntable. So with that, Rhino are reissuing ‘Burgers’, the 1972 LP…

Do you remember Boygenius? Basically, it was a supergroup of Phoebe Bridgers (now very famous), Lucy Dacus (quite famous) and Julien Baker (also quite famous) and they released an EP, before all three kinda exploded. Well, they’re getting the band back together and there’s new music and some live shows as well. Awkwardly, the album…

Suzi Quatro is going to play the hits as part of a run of shows celebrating the 50th anniversary of her first number one and gigantic banger, ‘Can The Can’. The Detroit legend said: “I am now in my 59th year in this business! Last year I played the Royal Albert Hall and was high…

Yaeji is great. In a way, that’s about a much as you need to know, but we’ll humour you and write a little more. Mixing bonkers day-glo electronics, house and hip-hop with cutesy, intimate vocals, Yaeji is prolific and fun! The ‘What We Drew’ mixtape released in 2020 was a firm favourite here, and now,…

It isn’t easy remembering long band names. Sometimes your brain switches off while you’re saying them out loud, and words just start to fall out. So with that, we look at Noel Gallagher’s band – the High Flying Birds. Are they even called that? We’d check but we’re lazy. Pretty sure they’re called that. They’ve…

Ye, the artist formerly known as but ostensibly still known as Kanye West, has gone missing. Why? Well, everything. His fall from grace has been well documented, making for a disappointing time for fans of his music and a boring SEE I TOLD YOU from people who are a bit racist when a rapper acts…

10 SONGS WITH… STANLEY CHOW
Whether you’re into ace music, football, or dynamite fonts, you’ve probably come across the work of Stanley Chow on your travels. Famed for his love of the beautiful game, Manchester United, and music, Stan’s immediately recognisable style has graced the pages of the New Yorker, alongside fanzines and more. His involvement in the music scene…

LETS GO THROUGH SHARON OSBORNE’S KNEECAP STATEMENT
You’ve probably seen that Kneecap have found themselves on the wrong end of a tongue lashing from Sharon Osborne, what with their opposition to what’s happening currently with the people of Palestine. If we’re all meant to be free speech absolutists in 2025, then if someone screening ‘FREE PALESTINE’ on a big screen hurts your…

KLINGKLANG TECHNO FROM ANNIE-CLAUDE DESCHÊNES
We’re ALWAYS up for music that klings and klangs, goes boink and rattles in an industrial way. There’s soul in those machines, y’know? And so, to Annie-Claude Deschênes’ new one which ticks all kinds of boxes. It’s techno, for sure, but it’s not the usual whoomph whoomph stuff (which we admittedly like) as it’s got…

FRESH RAP FROM REDVEIL
People only tend to mention backpack hip hop as a derogatory thing, but surely in 2025, we’re beyond that? The hip hop for the club, there’s hip hop for the house etc, and we’re getting a fun backpackiness from the new one from rising talent, redveil. This new track is called ‘Square One’, and it’s…
