  • KELELA IS BACK, BEING GREAT

    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

  • ALT.WRONGUNS CRY AT PINK FLOYD

    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

  • DAVID CROSBY

    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

  • HOT TUNA IS GETTING A REISSUE

    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

  • BOYGENIUS: THEY’RE BACK

    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 TO TOUR (AND ANY EXCUSE TO SHARE THIS SONG)

    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

  • NEW YAEJI

    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,

  • ALTERNATIVE NAMES FOR NOEL GALLAGHER’S HIGH FLYING BIRDS

    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

  • KANYE – IF YOU’RE READING THIS, YOUR LAWYERS WANT YOU

    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

  • REVIEW / SOFIE ROYER / YOUNG GIRL FOREVER

    Sofie Royer is back with her third LP, and there’s been something of a departure. The previous albums were almost bedroom pop, with singer-songwriterness floating through her songs. She was always super cool, super smart and albums switched between existential dread and quiet feistiness. With this set of songs, she emerged not with a moody,…

  • MOO DENG SINGLE IS LIKELY TO GET SHARED MORE THAN YOUR MATES’ BAND

    Cute animals sell more than sex does, and that’s a fact. Mums are more likely to share a missing cat post on Facebook than they are likely to tell people to listen to their children’s music they’ve been making. And with that, it’s about to get worse. Viral hippo – Moo Deng – has released…

  • BIG NOISE AROUND MAXO KREAM

    Maxo Kream’s ducking-and-diving storytelling has seen him collab with the likes of Tyler, The Creator and more, and he’s got a new LP out which admittedly, we’ve only skimmed so far – but it feels like there’s a buzz about the Texan which can’t be ignored. From threatening whoever, horny jams and pure shit-talking, the…

  • PIGSX7 WITH THE HEAVY HEAVY

    They’ve got an awkward name, have Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs. You get the impression they’re not arsed about this fact one bit, and besides, everyone’s already writing it down as Pigsx7. Anyway, they have a new heavy track out called ‘Detroit’ and with that, there’s news of a tour. This is the…
