WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Peaches is back with her first long player in over a decade and it’s called ‘No Lube So Rude’, which is exactly the kind of title you want from a Peaches record. There’s a new song too, called ‘Not In Your Mouth None Of Your Business’, which is the kind of brash, righteous dance track
-
The fragility of the American right-wing is getting increasingly farcical as, thanks to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl half-time show. Despite Puerto Rico being a US territory and Bad Bunny being one of the most celebrated artists of 2025, they want to do their own thing. At least they’ve took their own advice and will be

Remember everyone (well, not everyone) kicking off about BBC Radio 1’s Sound Of Poll? Chappell Roan won last time around, but a good number of people thought she was too famous to have won a prize for being a ‘rising’ act. They kinda had a point. The BBC have now said that acts with a

More new music from Jay Som who has her first new music out in six whole years. The new album is called ‘Belong’, and you’ll be able to hear the full thing TODAY if you head to your favourite platform or local indie. This new song from it, is called ‘Past Lives’, and features Paramore’s

When music lacks the usual verse-chorus-verse, it’s difficult to explain why you like it. Like a good techno album, you’re found waving your hands around and saying “I dunno – it just works and it’s all great!”, as you try and pinpoint various sections that made your brain fizz. Likewise, when faced with ambient music,

Fcukers aren’t exactly Too Cool To Smile In Photos, but they have a similar vibe as they seem like the kind of kids who know where all the cool parties are, and you find out about them a full six months after they got bored of them. Either way, they’ve put a new song out
-
The PinkPantheress really surprised us by how much we enjoyed it. It’s a potted history of UK dance music, shot through a bubblegum pop lens, and top to bottom, the whole thing is infectious as hell. Well, there’s a remix album of ‘Fancy That’ which is a star-studden affair. Better still is that you won’t

Forgive the mildly clickbait headline, but there’s a chance you recognise the name Little Dragon and don’t know the members of it. Lead singer from the project, Yukimi, has got some solo bits out. Seeing as Little Dragon were pretty great, then this is good news for fans of them, right? This track – ‘All

Matt Berry, real heads know, is a fabulous musician as well as a fine comedic actor. Killer psych, folk, and remakes of tricksy TV themes – he’s our kinda guy! Well, you need to see an advert he’s made for Telepathic Instruments with Jermaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords fame. What a dream pairing
-
We already told you that the Super Furry Animals are back, and you knew before we’d even told you – it’s good news for anyone who is a fan of psychedelic pop, glam stompers and adventures rock, right? Well, with the 20th anniversary edition of Love Kraft coming out, there’s a song from those sessions

ALEX HORNE’S 24 HOUR SONG RIGHT NOW
Alex Horne has a band called The Horne Section and of course, is the creator of Taskmaster, so his brain works a little differently. For charity, he’s singing live for a whole 24 hours doing a version of Ace’s ‘How Long’, which is really funny. Horne and his band, along with some guests, are doing…

EUROVISION PRESSURE CONTINUES
Israel’s participation in Eurovision continues to create woes for the song contest organisers as countries boycott the summer event due to take place from May 12th at Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria. This of course, feels very much like a problem entirely of the making of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) themselves, given that they’ve stopped the likes of Russia…
