WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

Fans of drinking pints and classic Electro compilations – this is a niche but perfect article for you! For the 40th anniversary of the legendary comps, there’s some special beer being brewed, and boy, the whole thing is handsome and great. The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing…

There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots…

These K-Pop bands are a massive, multi-million dollar business and on one hand, it’s great to see young pop fans getting into music that is spoken in something that isn’t English. However, there’s a big problem – what’s with all the Nazi stuff?! The most recent news concerns Chaeyoung who is a member of Twice.…

If you asked ‘Missy who?’ after reading that headline, then maybe this isn’t the website for you. Anyway, there’s been a lot of noise around FLO this past year, and Pop Justice’s Peter Robinson is a fan and genuinely, that’s something you should always take notice of. They won a BRIT Award, so they’re absolutely…

Initially, this article was just going to be a video of a very tired, very angry baby. We bailed on the idea, because that one time someone reviewed a Jet LP with nothing more than a video of a chimp drinking it’s own piss was effectively the pinnacle of that kind of thing, and has…

BONGZILLA. Just read that name back. It’s great isn’t it? Read that on a festival line-up, and you’re taking notice aren’t you? Handily, it perfectly captures their sound too – thick, heavy doom psychedelic rock. They’ve got a new song out which does exactly what you want to it to, called ‘Hippie Stick’, and they’ll…

Goat released a behemoth of an LP called ‘Oh Death’ much to everyone’s surprise, and now they’re surprising us all again with a new EP called ‘Seu Sangue’ (due out on April 14th, somewhat lessening the surprise when it actually drops). The EP will herald a tour of the UK (and other places) and it’s…

WHO WANTS A FUN PATTI LABELLE ANECDOTE?
Patti LaBelle is one of the finest singers to ever grace a stage, but what really makes her so magnetic is her presence away from it. She’s lived enough lives for all of us combined, and knows exactly how to tell us about it. The latest, involves Elton John and some Tupperware. “He was my…

BONNIE PRINCE BILLY RECORD SHOPPING
Amoeba Records’ run of What’s In My Bag? videos are the stuff of legend for anyone who likes musicians talking about the albums and books they like. With that, while you’re idling in bed or whatever this weekend, watch the always magnetic Will Oldham/Bonnie Prince Billy talking about some super interesting bits. Here you go.

LANA’S COUNTRY IS HERE?
When Lana Del Rey dropped a big country music sized hint, everyone who cared wondered how the whole thing would shape up. We daydreamed about which country lane she’d take, hoping she’d go for a luxurious, melancholic, orchestral version of bruised balladry. While Lana has a number of strings to her bow, it does feel…

MAMALARKY FUN NEW SONG
We don’t know anything about Mamalarky, but we heard they had some new music out, and the song ‘Won’t Give Up’ is real fun, so we’re sharing it with you. There’ll be a new album called ‘Hex Key’, and that’s out this week, so press play on this if you want a taster before listening…
