WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Andy Shauf is in a band called Foxwarren and they’ve got a new song out called ‘Deadhead’, and like most things involving Shauf, it’s power-poppy, catchy, fun and all that good stuff. However, you NEED to see the video for the new track because it’s a slice of real oddball silliness. Almost like a Tim…

‘Lord Willin’ is an all-timer of a rap LP, so it is worth getting excited that Pusha T and No Malice have started to roll-out the new stuff for their reunion. There’s a new LP called ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ which, brilliantly, seems to be a Marge Simpson quote. The first new album in over a decade,…
-
Lorde’s new roll-out has been a pretty interesting one, with impromptu parties and such, and now a new song called ‘Man of the Year’, which is emotionally exposing in more than one way in the new video. Of the new LP – ‘Virgin’ – she’s sharing a new video where she throws herself wholeheartedly into…
-
Look, we know Boiler Room kinda stinks – but when they do it right, they’re one of the best in the business against your better judgement. With that, in what feels like old Internet, giving you something totally unique, regional, and new, Ethiopian Records did a Boiler Room set and it’s an instant classic. New…

When Drugdealer are on form, they’re irresistible. Weyes Blood is one of the finest artists on the planet right now. Add the two together? Magic. Of course, this is not the first collaboration between these two things, but this new track is a welcome return from some time out for both, and Weyes Blood is…

August 29th sees a new album from pastoral post rockers, Modern Nature, and the long player goes by the name of ‘The Heat Warps’. You can hear a track from it which is called ‘Pharaoh’, and with a kneejerk reaction granted, it sounds like a career best from the project, although they’d be loathed to…
-
Saint Etienne have always been into interesting collaborations, from teaming up with Tim Burgess for a Christmas single, to Monkey Mafia remixes and more! With their latest release, they’re doing more of the same! They have a new LP called ‘International’ and from it, you can listen to a track called ‘Glad’, which features Tom…

Everything we’ve heard from the imminent Yaya Bey album has been great, so this is a further call for you to be ready for the release of ‘Do It Afraid’, which is coming out June 20th. We think it’ll be one of the R&B albums of 2025. Don’t wait for someone else to get you…

Pearl Charles is one of our favourite artists and we’ve featured her on this site before and countless playlists, from the burning-hot disco of ‘Only For Tonight’ to the recent Lauren Canyon gorgeousness meets Muscle Shoals soul of ‘Step Too Far’. A hugely talented song-writer, Charles will be playing some live shows in the UK…
-
Alison Goldfrapp’s about to release her second solo LP, which is called ‘Flux’, and if you’re hoping that she’s rediscovered her love of kinky glam synthpop, then you are absolutely in luck. The new song is exactly that! Now, don’t get us wrong – she’s not just wheeling out the old sound for clout –…

FREE RANGE / FEB25
The new radio show of ours – Free Range – is out. Music from all over the globe as ever, with new music from Panda Bear, Hayley Williams’ granddad, Everything Is Recorded, Vulfmon, and loads more. There’s a tribute to dear Marianne Faithfull too, as well as the usual shenanigans with a dreadful AI co-host.…

DAS KOOLIES, MAGNIFICO!
Das Koolies – the band that are Super Furry Animals without Gruff – have more acid fried music out! It’s a mixture of Furry psych and acid house (so both kinds of acid then!) and is called ‘Som Bom Magnifico’ and will feature on the new LP, ‘Pando’, which is out in May. Go. Press…

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…
