WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Is it Balearic? Is it slo-mo house? Who cares if it sounds this fun! Like half a pill dancing up your spin, Swedish duo The Embassy have a new record out that’s as nice as the sand between your toes. The track is called ‘Dream On’ and it is taken from a new LP called
-
Unless you’re a musician, you’re probably not that bothered about Spotify’s royalty rates – but maybe you should be. See, the convenience of Spotify is absolutely unparalleled, and most people now have an almost endless library of music in their pockets, so you can listen to huge catalogues of music on the commute. But what
-
What a year Girl Ray are having! Their ‘Prestige’ album is almost guaranteed a high placing come the End Of Year polls in the music mags and broadsheets. To keep the momentum going, they’ve released a new single called ‘Hurts So Bad’. It was produced by Hot Chip and is their most electronic number yet.
-
Most right thinking people want to hunt billionaires for sport because no one person needs that money and couldn’t have possibly earned it without exploiting the labour of others. There would have to be some exceptional circumstances for that to not be the case, right? Like, if someone found something in their attic that was
-
We absolutely haven’t heard of Letters To Cleo before, but that’s no reason to not say their new song is really fun and that we like it. You don’t always need an angle to tap a toe, do you? We found out that they’ve been on the circuit for a while, which is our bad.

We’re huge fans of Yuné Pinku here. Mixing the sounds of the familiar with future-house, she’s been making great music for a while now. The latest one is another sophisticated, slinky banger that is perfect to kickstart your weekend. It’s follows the excellent ‘BABYLON IX’ EP, and is called ‘Killing Be’. As ever with her
-
A lot of new artists are influenced by ’80s indie, but sadly, too many of them are a bit Long Overcoats Stood Near Some Bins Black & White Photo Post Punkish Sourpusses. Not the case here with Hazel English. She’s released a song called ‘Heartbreaker’ and it’s a midtempo gem, with lighter than air synths
-
Grandaddy are great, and with that, it’s great to say there’s a new album coming out and a new song to listen to. The LP is called ‘Blu Wav’ and you can hear it on February 16th. The brainchild of the mighty Jason Lytle, the new long player is apparently a mix of bluegrass and new
-
It’s confirmed. The last Beatle music approaches and, as we thought, it’s ‘Now And Then’. You can see what we said about it here, if you want the back story. The track will be with us on 2nd November and the official blurb from the Beatles camp says: “Now And Then” is the last Beatles
-
Kurt Vile. A new song? A tour? Go on then. Vile, y’see, has a new EP coming out called ‘Back To Moon Beach’ and the tour is in the States, and seeing as our analytics say that most of our readers are European, that’s not the good news – but new music! Hurray! Below, if

FREE RANGE NOV 25
Hello there. We remembered that listeners of our related radio show – FREE RANGE – might like to read the tracklisting for the show, instead of just listening to the words being pronounced badly throughout it. It’s the last show of the year before the round-up of 2025’s best music, so the last time where…

SURPRISE NEW NONAME TRACK!
We’re big fans of NONAME who is someone who absolutely marches to the beat of her own drum, and she’s at it again with a surprise new track! Called ‘Hundred Acres’, it appeared on the algorithm which did its job for once, and as you’d expect, it’s smart as hell, funky, irresistible chorus, and is…

LANKUM WITH A HALLOWEEN TREAT
If you’ve heard ‘Dig My Grave’ by Lankum, you’re probably still a but spun out by it (or thunderously turned on if that’s you’re thing) and it’s gothic bedlam. Well, they’re at it again with a little treat for Halloween (and the general state of the world, sadly) with a unique take on ‘Ghost Town’…

KELLY LEE OWENS 132 TECHNO
Kelly Lee Owens is ace, especially when she’s in dancefloor mode – and she’s shared a new track from the EP ‘KELLY’ which we particularly like. The release of the EP is November 21st, and this new track should get your motor running in the meantime. It goes by the name of ‘132 TECHNO’, and…
