WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
God. Someone else wondering what Balearic means. Look, what we’re saying here is that there’s a chug to this that might sound nice when there’s been some kind of exploring of chemicals. But it’s folk music. The two can go together, and you know it. We’re looking at the new track from Norwood who isn’t

If you’re a fan of Jon Hopkins and his ambient things, you’re in luck! He’s just shared a preview of the new LP ‘RITUAL’, which we think is meant to be in CAPS, but it shouldn’t be, because it’d be more ambient to have it lower case. Anyway, as this is ambient, we have to

When Cornershop burned a photo of Morrissey in 1992, everyone should’ve been aware that a legendary band were in ascendence. Every time Tjinder Singh & Co do something, it is our civic duty to yell about it! And so, they’ve made a super fun video and a really cool re-do of their 2018 track ‘Double

Pop magpie Jim Noir is back again, emerging from a nest of wires and psychedelic hooks, and that’s always good news. He’s going to release ‘Jimmy’s Show 2’ on September 17th, collecting all the best songs from his Patreon bits and bobs, EPs and experiments. If you want to join Noir’s Patreon, you can do

Here’s a sweet mix from Vero G with Discodelic, and is full to bursting with Latin American gems! Vero G hails from San Francisco, and honestly, has a record collection that’ll make you jealous. Recorded live at the Discodelic store in San Francisco, and this is a channel new to us and we’ll be keeping

Pop music seems to be veering into the ditch in 2024. Now, this is not to say that it is in the ditch because it sucks, but rather, because there’s a brand of reckless, very silly, hedonistic pop that’s not too concerned with being polite and polished. If this is some kind of brat szn,

Remi Wolf seems to be someone who thought about putting all her ideas and buoyancy on a tight leash, but soon found out that it was impossible and they all just erupted out of the top of her head. On stage, she’s infectious and with so much energy that it can feel like watching someone

You already know who Rod Argent is – songwriter extraordinaire, keyboardist, and founder of the achingly wonderful group, The Zombies. Rod is going to immediately retire from the touring life after suffering a stroke, and we’d just like to wish him good health. Argent and the Zombies management team made an announcement, which you can
-
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is a silly band name, but that’s cool and they know it. They are a prolific band and there’s no-one quite like them as they veer from psych, to metal, to prog, to whatever else takes their fancy. They have a new album coming out called ‘FLIGHT b741’, and of

The annoying section of music fans who insist on saying ‘album cycle’ and ‘eras’ will be having a field day today as Katy Perry has released a new song, which signifies the start of her new ‘album cycle’ or ‘era’. It’s viral marketing talk for ‘having a new record out’, and of course, when there’s

TIM & ERIC WITH NEW RECORD LABEL
If you know Tim Heidecker, he takes having a laugh pretty seriously and as well as being a fine comedian, writer, podcaster and musician, he’s also willing to put his money where his talented mouth is. Tim, along with Eric Wareheim and Dave Kneebone founded Abso Lutely Productions which gave us ‘Tim and Eric Awesome…

LAUREN MAYBERRY ‘SOMETHING IN THE AIR’
You;l know Lauren Mayberry from the ace Chvrches, but she’s had some really cool solo stuff out and there’s a new one for you called ‘Something In The Air’, which is coming out ahead of the new LP ‘Vicious Creature’. The press release says the album is about “sexuality and empowerment from a profoundly personal…

THE HORRORS ARE BACK, DOOM MERCHANTS
The Horrors are back with a new line-up and after some genuinely great neon coloured synthy bits, they’re back to their gothic roots with a new track called ‘The Silence That Remains’. Of course, there’ll be an album and tour too. You can find dates yourself, but the LP is called ‘Night Life’. So what’s this…

ROBBIE WILLIAMS AS A MONKEY – LOOK
There’s a trailer to look at, which sees Robbie Williams as a monkey. Now, that’s not your average sentence to write, but that’s the score as Robbie has a new biopic coming out, and instead of getting someone to just play him straight, he’s gone for a dollop of fantasy, which admit it – is…
