WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Primitive Ring are LA based noiseniks who are, in some way related to Ty Segall for what it’s worth, and they have a new track out that reminds us of fun stuff like Bongzilla and The Melvins and psychedelic garage punk and all manner of good stuff! They’re gonna release their new self-titled album on…

6LACK’s ‘East Atlanta Love Letter’ is one of R&B’s modern masterpieces, and fans will have been playing his back catalogue to death while waiting for a new album. Good news is that there’s a new one due on May 22nd, called ‘Love Is The New Gangsta’. More importantly for you now, is the new track…

If you’re old and remember them, or are young and like looking at vintage gear, you’ll know all about those gorgeous consoles that featured in homes. Consoles, for the uninitiated, were beautiful pieces of furniture that housed a record player, speakers, an amp, and sometimes other things like radios and storage. They were the entertainment…

Honestly, it is pretty depressing to keep writing about artificial intelligence. It’s like some kind of black mold that no-one can ever fully scrub away. Of course, there’s something vaguely exciting about the possibilities of future technologies, but this one isn’t cutting it. Away from the literal fascism-supporting elements of Big Tech pushing this on…

We’d kinda like to take the piss out of Elijah Wood, especially now he’s revealed he’s doing a Lord of the Rings rave. However, he seems like a genuinely nice bloke with nice interests, so we’re not going to be mocking him here. He’s launched an indie record label, released some nice looking headphones made…

Gladie’s new album is coming out at the end of the week and goes by the name of ‘No Need To Be Lonely’. You can have a sneak peek of what it sounds like with new song ‘I Want That For You’. It is kinda grungy, ’90s, noisy realness, if you’ve been yearning for such sounds…

Geoffrey Reiss has a massive, massive record collection. Some say it’s the best record collection in the world, but who could ever call a thing like that, right? It’s certainly an impressive beast, and Reiss is interviewed in a fun video that captures his huge enthusiasm for the records he has, which is much more…

R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe has been relatively quiet since he and his band decided to knock it on the head. Instead of a (lucrative) reunion, Stipe is planning to release his debut solo album soon. He told The Sunday Times newspaper, who we assume you don’t have a subscription for: “I’m working on a solo…

Sometimes, what you really need is an uplifting, catchy, poppy House track to lift your spirits and your mood. One of the finest purveyors of this kind of thing is the legendary Honey Dijon, who has donned her producer hat with a gem of a new track. She’s releasing a new album, aptly called ‘Nightlife’,…

Here’s the first in what promises to be a sporadic round-up of some of the best shows that have cropped up on Mixcloud. We’re not on the payroll, but we’re hard-pressed to find a better platform for true music lovers sharing their radio shows and mixes for free for those who need ’em. There’s a…

JAMIE XX + ERYKAH BADU
Jamie XX has teamed up with Erykah Badu for a day-glo chugger that sounds like it’ll be a staple in the festival sets this summer. Jamie says: “A few years ago, I was playing at a Primavera afterparty in Barcelona with Erykah Badu. The decks stopped working and she just freestyled this incredible acapella performance,…

SO LONG, MARIANNE
She seemed to live a hundred lives at the same time, and honestly, it seems bizarre that us mere mortals were looking at the same sky she was. Marianne Faithfull – a complete one-off – has left us and we’re all the poorer for it. And where to start? For over six decades, she’s been…

GIVING TATYANA WHAT SHE’S OWED / IT’S SO OVER
When dance music works best, it’s straddles the line between sleazy, wrecking your shoes, drunk cigs and gritty, and impossibly glamorous and shimmering with fantasy. It worked for disco, it worked for the pop-house boom in the early ’90s, and it’s worked for just about anything to shake your backside with on the weekend. Dance…

SNAPPED ANKLES ARE BACK
They dress in what looks like a load of moss and bracken, and if we remember rightly, they’ve got a synth made out of a log. They also make furious garage-psych, and are a group not to be trifled with. They have a new song out to herald a new LP called ‘Hard Times Furious…
