WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The amount of praise we throw at Tchotchke must make some people wonder if we’re on the payroll or something, but rest assured, we’re just big fans. And luckily for us and everyone else, there’s yet more music out in the shape of the new song ‘Now I Love You’. This one is a drumless,…

One of our favourite illustrators on the planet right now is the supremely talented and unique Carly Jean Andrews. Based out on the West Coast of the United States, she’s been winning hearts with her bold, brilliant art for a while now. Her work touches on a host of things, including complex, ’70s inspired typeface…

Questioning the net value of new technologies is always a worthwhile endeavour, and of course, artificial intelligence is the latest hot topic on everyone’s lips because, on the surface, it’s a technological miracle – but it comes with concerns. The scraping of other people’s words, art, music and the rest, is definitely stealing rebadged as…

Pastoral psych group Whitney have announced a new album, called ‘Small Talk’ and the good news is that there’s a new song to listen to which sounds comfortingly like a Whitney song should sound. The new album will be available on November 7th, and you know exactly where to go if you want to find…

Massive Attack have been very vocal about the situation with Gaza – the group have refused to play in Israel since the late ’90s. With that in mind, they have announced an alliance comprised of musicians, hitting out against “intimidations from within” the music business. On social media, they shared a statement about an alliance of…

One of the most wonderful things about The Charlatans is their ability to breathe and grow, when many of their peers plough a familiar trough, and rely largely on nostalgia. Not so this lot, who have gone through ’90s psychedelia and indie-dance, to sun-soaked Californian synthetics, to rootsy rock, to Balearic, to post punk, and…

If you’ve been reading our words for a while, you’ll know how much we love the music of Dora Morelenbaum. Her ‘Pique’ album is one of our favourite records, and is a modern Brazilian classic. Read our review here. Well, Dora has a new video out for the swooning, groovy ‘Não Vou Te Esquecer’, and…

The release of Justin Bieber’s ‘SWAG’ album was, for most, a surprise. Not least because of the absence of promotional materials released in the build-up to it, but in part, it was remarkable that he’d even been working on anything. For those not terminally swirling around Bieber’s plughole for every morsel of information, he’d only…

People who write about music, overthink music, read books and websites about music, devour music documentaries and go on Wikipedia deep-dives, are not your average music listener. Don’t read that as ‘better’, rather, atypical. Think about it – there’s people out there who saw the Oasis reunion, but were completely unaware that Liam Gallagher just…

Rock n roll is a perilous business at the best of times, what with the circus life trying to get you on the drink, drugs and a variety of sexually transmitted diseases. Spare a thought then, for poor ol’ Suki Waterhouse. The singer, songwriter and actor took to social media this week, and informed her…

PREORDER EMITT RHODES
Those who know about Emitt Rhodes tend to be a bit evangelical about his music – and rightly so – his bubblegum psychedelic pop is often compared to the mighty Paul McCartney, but that’s because it’s so perfectly formed! Rhodes recorded his eponymous LP at home in the ’70s, and if you’re a fan of…

PANDA BEAR’S NEW ACID POP!
Remember how much you all liked that Sonic Boom/Panda Bear record? Well, Panda Bear is back and still great, so you need to hand over your time to listen to the new track ‘Ferry Lady’. Taken from the upcoming LP ‘Sinister Grift’, it’s a lovely slice of acid-infused pop, which is shorthand for experimental, a…

TATYANA WITH A JAN BANGER
‘It’s Over’ by Tatyana was one of our favourite songs of 2024, so it is great to report that she’s hit 2025 running at full speed with a new acid banger called ‘What Have You Done For Me Lately?’ With shades of Inner City, this is primo strobe house for the warehouse or the club,…
