WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Formerly Girl Band, now Gilla Band, they’ve got a new single out called ‘Sports Day’ and honestly, you can probably just scroll to the bottom of this article and listen to the track and skip all the fluff. However, the fluff is slightly necessary for us as we have to provide something that looks like

Hey Macca fans! There’s going to be a feature documentary that looks at Paul McCartney’s life following the breakup of The Beatles. That’s the cool solo bits, Wings, and his life with Linda McCartney, and obviously, an insane amount of incredible music. We’re promised a lot of never-seen-before archive of Paul and Linda’s home videos

Pop Corps are gigantic Steely Dan fans. Let’s just get that out of the way. Now, Steve Albini says he hates Steely Dan. Time to get the claws out and start bringing up the fact that Steve Albini was in a band called Rapeman and all that, right? Time to outline exactly why Steely Dan

One of our favourite, favourite music project is back with more music. If you haven’t heard Looking Suite, then you’re missing out on some really wonderful ambient, post-noodle, psychedelic improv, nu-age, dream-chug music. It’s hard to pin down what it is exactly, but you’ll feel like you’re hovering while it’s on, and it’s magic. The

Pink Floyd – they’ve always got on so well with each other haven’t they? We joke of course, but any hope for a reunion have been well and truly booted to death this week. Polly Samson, author and wife of Dave Gilmour, have been tweeting. We’ll link to her tweet. Then to Gilmour’s quote tweet.

If you’re very knowledgable about music and go on about it, there’s no telling you anything. For the rest of everyone, there’s a new app that you might like! You might not! We’re not your real dad. Anyway, an app. So, there’s a new app out that’s called Rewind and what it intends to do

There’s a lot of musicians and bands that haven’t been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and when you read the latest list of nominations, you’ll be like “THEY’RE NOT ALREADY IN THERE?!?!” This year, up for the award… and unbelievably not already in there, are Kate Bush, George Michael, Missy Elliott

Yves Tumor isn’t quite like anyone else around at the moment, but one thing we do know is that the music they’ve been making is undeniably sexy. Good too, mind you. Future glam mixed with Prince’s grimier moments, with a dollop of psychedelics thrown in. It’s fun stuff. Well, good news pop fans, there’s going

Hey! Vic Mensa has teamed up with Thundercat and singer Maeta on a new track called ‘Strawberry Louis Vuitton’, which is good news isn’t it? We like them. Not so much Louis Vuitton, but that’s not through any moral stance – rather – we haven’t ever been able to afford it so it doesn’t mean

There’s a gorgeous new record you need by Tokyo’s Arimoto and it’s called ‘Acacia y Suministro de Agua’. Part folk, part psych, part post-rock, all ace, you’ll like this no doubt. You can just listen to it below if you won’t take our word for it. All recorded in glorious analogue, this is a private

SPOTIFY PAYOLA?
Any musician who has uploaded their music to Spotify as an independent artist knows how futile it all is, expecting to end up on any of the editorial lists made by the company, which help push songs to millions of people using their front page. The fact is, if you don’t have the connections through…

RIP JOSEPH BYRD – A TRUE ONE-OFF
After his father bought a mine in Tucson, Arizona, Joseph Byrd grew up and found himself drawn to music. Initially, it was vibraphone and accordion in pop groups, he soon branched out into local TV arrangements and college jazz combos. A talented kid, he found himself in a fellowship at Stanford, where he rubbed shoulders…

SHOEGAZE DANIEL AVERY MIX
You may know Daniel Avery for his smart techno music, but there’s more strings to his bow than thunderous beats and brain frazzling synths. To show that, he’s done a really nice shoegaze mix which is perfect for transporting you out of the gloomy weather at the tail end of 2025. While this mix may…

WEYES BLOOD FEATURES ON SPELLING TRACK
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…
