WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We absolutely haven’t heard of Letters To Cleo before, but that’s no reason to not say their new song is really fun and that we like it. You don’t always need an angle to tap a toe, do you? We found out that they’ve been on the circuit for a while, which is our bad.…

We’re huge fans of Yuné Pinku here. Mixing the sounds of the familiar with future-house, she’s been making great music for a while now. The latest one is another sophisticated, slinky banger that is perfect to kickstart your weekend. It’s follows the excellent ‘BABYLON IX’ EP, and is called ‘Killing Be’. As ever with her…
-
A lot of new artists are influenced by ’80s indie, but sadly, too many of them are a bit Long Overcoats Stood Near Some Bins Black & White Photo Post Punkish Sourpusses. Not the case here with Hazel English. She’s released a song called ‘Heartbreaker’ and it’s a midtempo gem, with lighter than air synths…
-
Grandaddy are great, and with that, it’s great to say there’s a new album coming out and a new song to listen to. The LP is called ‘Blu Wav’ and you can hear it on February 16th. The brainchild of the mighty Jason Lytle, the new long player is apparently a mix of bluegrass and new…
-
It’s confirmed. The last Beatle music approaches and, as we thought, it’s ‘Now And Then’. You can see what we said about it here, if you want the back story. The track will be with us on 2nd November and the official blurb from the Beatles camp says: “Now And Then” is the last Beatles…

Kurt Vile. A new song? A tour? Go on then. Vile, y’see, has a new EP coming out called ‘Back To Moon Beach’ and the tour is in the States, and seeing as our analytics say that most of our readers are European, that’s not the good news – but new music! Hurray! Below, if…

DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ continues to melt our brains with music that’s somehow both nostalgic pop AND futuristic psychedelic house music, and we love it. A new video just dropped for the track ‘For Now And Forever’ which is taken from the Destiny album and follows a fairly consistent and very funny long trolling…
-
The Beatles have casually dropped a tweet that’s got everyone’s knickers in a twist. It’s a link to their website where there’s a graphic of a cassette. There’s already some clues to be worked out too, for the eagled eyed. First, let’s look at the cassette. You can zoom in a bit harder when you’re…

If you haven’t heard of the ace supergroup made up of African women, you need to sort that out now. They’re called Les Amazones d’Afrique, and they have a new single out called ‘Kuma Fo (What They Say)’, and it’s ace electronics with trad African music sung in native languages from Mali, Benin, Burkina Faso,…
-
It always feels like music is destined for the young, but sometimes, artists hit a late career high and have a hit long after a supposed imperial period. Artists of a certain vintage (and some not so old, obviously) find a new voice, often with a more mature sound or finding new creativity in age.…

LOVELY FOLK FROM JAMES ELKINGTON
James Elkington has a very pleasing folkie number out – along with a bunch of other songs too – all for a new LP called ‘Pastel De Nada’. The album is out March 28th, and of the new bits, ‘Very Berk Squad’ is a beautiful little instrumental gem. Press play.

BARONESS VS AI
AI is objectively awful for people who actually make things. In short, big tech is taking things from people, and it means they’ll lose their income. While some use of AI may make you laugh or be kinda novel, the fact remains that governments the world over are saying that it’s okay for tech companies…

CIRCUIT DES YEUX’S MOODY SYNTHS
Ever wished someone would make some synthpop that leaned a little more on the gothic side of things, without falling into stupid sexpot Industrial music? We have some great news for you! Circuit des Yeux have released a new track called ‘Canopy of Eden’ which is from new LP ‘Halo On The Inside’. It’s a…

NEW MCLUSKY, LADS
Mclusky have a small but devoted fanbase and, rightly so, even if occasionally the reaction to adoration from the band can seem fractious at times. It’s all part of nervous, tense fun, obviously. They’ve announced a new album called ‘The World Is Still Here and So Are We’, which is their first in 21 years.…
