WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
A new album from Looking Suite is as welcome as throwing the windows open in the middle of gorgeous weather, and as we waddle out of Summer and into Autumn, we find ourselves pressing play on ‘Wide Range Dream State’ – the newest long player from our favourite ambient, post-noodle, neo-prog leaning guy. Released on

TSHA has a new song out called ‘Green’ and its ace! It’s a dancer, but it’s an emotional affair too – just what we like to see! There’s nothing quite like an emotional banger, right? She says: “Me and my partner were in the studio together, about to write something. He was getting on my nerves,

A little while ago, there was a spate of records and acts that were kinda miserable, but anthemic with it. It wasn’t exactly Grunge 2.0, but emotional lyrics and crunchy guitars were definitely back. One of the better artists from this period was Soccer Mommy, who as it happens, is back with a new song!

Men I Trust – it’s been a while. The last thing they put out was back in 2021 when they released their ‘Untourable Album’, which went down very well with everyone. Of course, there’s been dribs and drabs, and last year they put out the ace ‘Ring of Past’, but now, they’re back with a

The Green Child are an Aussie group that went from two members to four (apologies for the old picture, then) and they have a really cool new single out called ‘Wow Factor’ which reminds us of loads of good stuff made by loads of other cool and unique bands. Seriously, we’re into it! There’s a

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

NEW PANDA BEAR
‘Reset’ with Panda Bear and Sonic Boom was very warmly received by the psychedelic heads. Good news is that Panda Bear is back with new music, this time with ‘Defense’ featuring Cindy Lee. This is part of a new LP called ‘Sinister Grift;, which is coming out in February with the mighty Domino Records. Co-pro’d…

REVIEW / DORA MORELENBAUM / PIQUE
We’ve been really excited about the new album from the brilliant Dora Morelenbaum for a while now. With previous releases, we were reminded of the spirited bossa of the likes of Joyce Moreno and Caetano Veloso at his quieter, more poetic moments. However, on hearing ‘Caco’, the new work promised a broader spectrum of sounds…

LIAM PAYNE AND HOW WE STILL CAN’T PREVENT THE PERILS OF FAME
It’s so obviously sad when a young person dies, and aged 31 years old, Liam Payne was no age at all. Whether or not it’s been apparent that Payne has been struggling in recent months, the fact is that, aside from his time in One Direction, his solo work and the fact that he’s spent…

LIVERPOOL CELEBRATES MOOG!
Moog synths are great. They simultaneously sound like the future and the past, and everyone rightly loves them. So with that, the Capstone Theatre in Liverpool is going to have a series of celebrations to mark the 60th anniversary of the legendary instrument. If you’re not interested in any more words from us and are…
