WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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

The Chemical Brothers – there’s no-one quite like them. Weird, heady drug music, but still a boatload of fun. Well, they’re back with a new thing. In fact, it’s the first new thing since 2021, which is nice. As ever, they’re back with a very heady drug video (that’s still a boatload of fun) and

We’ve heard people raving about Lankum, and like all nosey parkers, we wanted to know what was going on to see if we would find a new band we liked, and at worst, not like them and generally be dismissive of other people’s music tastes and bemoan the state of it all. Good news! This

We love Alison Goldfrapp – she can veer from witchy folkie wonderfulness, to synthpop glam dominatrix – and now she’s back, and this time, she’s eyeing up the dancefloor. The new track is called ‘So Hard So Hot’ and she said: “I wanted to do something that had that very clubby, acid-y feeling to it,

It’s great to hear someone say something directly sometimes. Poetry is all well and good and certainly has its place – but sometimes you just need someone to yell something in someone’s face. So with that, we turn to punks Lambrini Girls (fantastic name for a band, that) who have a new track out called

NEIL YOUNG CLASSIC REDUX
For years, Neil Young’s ‘On The Beach’ was something of a forgotten classic and it took an age to see a proper reissue. When it did, everyone updated their internal lists of which Neil Young LPs they liked the best, because it really is one of his finest works. Well, it’s getting a do-over again,…

ACID HOUSE AS IT HAPPENED
We’ve spotted a great book that you’ll want or will start dropping heavy hints in the run-up to Christmas – it’s called ‘Acid House As It Happened’ and its a beautiful document of the boom of rave that happened in the late ’80s. By Dave Swindells, it’s filled with photos from Future and Shoom taken…

NEW CURE EH?
Fans of The Cure probably already heard this, but whatever. They’ve been teasing something new for a couple of weeks and now, there’s a new song to listen to and news of an album. The LP will be called ‘Songs of a Lost World’ and you imagine there’ll be a tour to go with it.…
