WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
BICEP are responsible for a number of big sweaty dance tracks and they’re at it again with a new collab with Eliza, which obviously, you can hear below or else why would we be writing about it, right? Hailing from Northern Ireland if you’re updating your files, the pair have announced ‘CHROMA 000’ which is a…

Spotify’s flirtation with authoritarian politics continues. It started with creaming money off the success of Rogan’s podcast, it continued with the news that founder Daniel Ek was using everyone’s money to fund AI in drones for war, and now, ICE recruitment. A number of artists have been pulling their music off the platform, and some…

If you’ve got a pair of Clarks and love the occasional camping holiday in the South of France, you are probably a fan of the mighty Tunng. Folkie in a non-cringe, authentic way. Acid folk for fun drop-out mums and dads. Well, there’s a new Tunng single out called ‘Anoraks’. Sam Genders says: “One of…
-
Never mind the podcasts and tabloid stuff – we’re a music blog and we’re focusing on that, thank you very much. And the news is that Lily Allen has announced that she’s releasing a new album after some years away from the scene. The new record will be her fifth and called ‘West End Girl’…
-
Courtney Barnett is great and, more importantly, she’s back with her first new single in a couple of years, with a song called ‘Stay In Your Lane’. As ever, there’s tension and discordant stuff to couple with the strong melodies, and apparently, Barnett recorded the track in a bid to work through the trials of bottling…
-
Rosalia’s last couple of albums have been excellent, and ‘MOTOMAMI’ just about propelled her into superstardom, so all eyes are on the next release, right? It’s either no pressure or loads of pressure! Well, the news is that there’s going to be a new record called ‘LUX’, and no-one has to wait too long, as…

Sometimes the algorithm drops a video in your lap out of absolutely nowhere and blows your brains out, so the only thing to do is share it wider. We don’t speak the language, but we think this might be of Egyptian origin (let us know if you know), and it’s a bunch of cool older…

It’s so nice that Nick Heyward is back with Haircut 100. They were a wonderful band and, better yet, the new stuff is equally fantastic, with their super smart sophisticated jangly pop. Sophistipop, you might say. Well, we covered a song by the reformed gang a while ago, and honestly, we can’t remember what we…
-
There’s a new EP coming from Helado Negro called ‘The Last Sound On Earth’, which sounds like it’s going to be one worth checking in on. He says that the whole thing has been inspired by “Miami bass, freestyle, jungle, and electronic dance music I grew up dancing to” and first track ‘Protector’ shows a…

It is time once again, where we’ve remembered to upload the tracklisting for the newest FREE RANGE radio show, because we so frequently forget and we genuinely get people asking what songs we’ve played after butchering various pronunciations. We missed September for no good reason other than idleness brought on by going for a weekend…

NEW MICK JENKINS
Mick Jenkins releases are always worth your time, and the good news is that there’s a new track out and it’ll prove exactly that! Chicago’s own has a new freestyle for you to get your chops around called ‘Wars & Rumors’, which could mean that we see a new LP later in the year. Maybe.…

REVIEW / BAD BUNNY / DEBÍ TIRAR MÁS FOTOS
It’s pretty unassuming to have two plastic lawn chairs, sat empty for the cover of your newest LP, but Bad Bunny’s ‘DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS’ isn’t just any album – he has made a career best, just as latin, reggaeton flavoured global pop felt like it may have been on the cusp of waning. The…

ETHEL CAIN, MURDERING CEOS + MORE
Remember all those people, January 6th 2024, loudly asking for Mike Pence to be hung? Well, the right side of America’s aisle doesn’t because they’re once again up-in-arms (when are they not? Soft arses) because someone they didn’t like the look of said something they didn’t like the sound of. The person in question is…

IRAN SENTENCE SINGER TO DEATH FOR BLASPHEMY
Tataloo is an Iranian singer and, once upon a time, he was deemed culturally significant enough to be used by ultra conservative politicians to get the ear of the nation’s liberal youth. However, a court in Iran has decided that the performer should be executed, after an appeal against a five year prison sentence. Amir…
