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…

KRAFTWERK + DAFT PUNK FRAUD
Former Kraftwerker, Wolfgang Flür, was all excited that he’d done a track with Daft Punk‘s Thomas Bangalter. However, like many older people online, he was tricked by someone in the DMs. Poor old Wolfgang. He’d been teasing as such, for his latest LP ‘Times’, where he said that Thomas was working with Flür under a pseudonym…

ANIMÉ BRINGS SUMMER
Hey! Happy Monday to you. If you’ve been appreciating how summer is drawing nearer and the weather generally feels a bit warmer and nicer, then you’re probably going to like the new one from tuneful rapper Aminé. The track is called ‘Familiar’, and has echoes of the music he made with KAYTRANADA as KAYTRAMINÉ. Of…

LAEL NEALE ON THE FREEWAY
Lael Neale makes interesting music, and she has a new one out called ‘Down On The Freeway’. Apparently, it is about LA, and of course, you can’t talk about that place without talking about the roads around it. It’s got a brutalist, minimal drum machine, but it is a pretty low-key affair, with a really…

TORTOISE BACK AND STILL GREAT
Look, people keep calling them ‘post-rock’, but to us, Tortoise have always been a jazz group – they just move in a slightly different way to more instantly recognisable jazz. Either way, they’re great and new music from them is always a good thing. After almost a decade doing various side projects, they’re back together…
