WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Vince Guaraldi’s work with the soundtrack on the Peanuts cartoons is rightly the stuff of legend. Achingly cool and whistleable jazz, bopping away under the utterly charming and razor sharp voice work from the Shultz created characters, which obviously include Snoopy and the mighty Charlie Brown. Re-discovered in the vaults is the somewhat timely ‘You’re…

Allegra Krieger has a new album out called ‘Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine’, and you’ll be able to hear that tomorrow in fact! Below is the final single that preempts it, and it’s really cool. We really liked another single she released in the build-up to this – here – which was a neat…

The presidential race in the USA has a lot hanging on it, for sure, but regardless of that, the whole thing has made for some really good TV. It always does, because one thing the Americans love, is making great television. A thick line has been drawn and either side of it stand two candidates…

A lovely little Detroit one-two here from Babyface Ray, featuring Veeze. Babyface has a new album this week called ‘The Kid That Did’ which we’re looking forward to hearing. In advance, you can listen to ‘Wavy Navy University’, which is a psychedelic take on trap-hop. Big Sean, Pusha T and G Herbo count themselves as…

MUNA are great, have had a number of hot songs, and with that, have seen their popularity rightly grow. The group’s identity have seen them filling a hole in pop culture which has seen a pocket of fans feeling incredibly seen by them, to use the common parlance of the youth. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns…

If you’re in the market for some seriously fun indie fuzz pop, then you will like the new song from Swedish group Girl Scout, who just so happen to have told everyone that they’ve got a new EP coming out. The EP is called ‘Headache’ and it’ll be out in November (where did the year…

Once upon a time in the days of black and white and the British pound being split up into unfathomable fractions, fans of football teams would clap and twirl their rattles, cheering on their favourite football team and having a pint or six, with a hard luck to or from the opposing fanbase. Something changed…

Kendrick is doing the Super Bowl in February 2025. Now, two things – does this basically confirm a new album is going to be released before the year is out? And also, are we going to hear an entire stadium shouting “A MINNNNOOOOOOR” at Drake on the biggest televised event in the world during that…

We’re not really into the whole post-punk, long anorak, well-read indie music stuff on these pages. We’re not saying that it is a bad thing, rather, just letting you know that with these things, we’re an unreliable source. And so to Black Midi who were the darlings of lads in cherry red Doc Martens, gloomy…

Funny what people turn into films these days. The latest to surprise us (not unpleasantly, mind) is the movie about indie slacker kings, Pavement. It is called ‘Pavements’ and directed by Alex Ross Perry who we don’t know, but we’re going to assume they love a trucker cap and a plaid shirt and some beat…

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…

NEW RICO NASTY
If you love your trap to be cut with a little sugar, then you’re probably already a fan of Rico Nasty’s work. Her new LP is due and goes by the name of ‘Lethal’, and this is the first track from it, ‘On The Low’. Interestingly, this album will be released on the Fueled By…

SOFTLY, DUFFY IS BACK
The story of Duffy’s sudden absence from music is one of the most heartbreaking stories in pop. For those who missed the news, she opened up about a tremendously upsetting ordeal, where she spoke about being kidnapped, held hostage, being drugged and raped. Duffy had retreated from the world of music to rightly recover and…
