WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Aged 52, Danielle Moore the lead singer of Crazy P, has sadly died. Moore’s cause of death has not been shared, and honestly, it’s not our business so we shall do our best to celebrate her life. In a statement posted to Instagram, her fellow bandmates wrote, “We cannot believe the news ourselves and we…

Pop’s best You Can’t Sit With Us pair, Coco + Clair Clair are back with a new album after dropping the achingly cool ‘Aggy’ [listen here] which cements their place as one of the more unique acts to hail from Atlanta. With their to-the-minute slang, they’re snarking again and saying “delulu” and, while those would…

If you’re interested in our sister radio show – FREE RANGE – it is published an online and features great music new and old, including some of the music we’ve covered and reviewed on these very pages. There’ll be music from The Junipers, Nick Waters (LP review here), some cosmic country, some hidden gems, and…

Look – not all music needs to be deep. Sometimes, you just want something that sounds summery as the month you’re in, and that’s exactly what we’ve got with this new one from Cordae and Anderson .Paak. It’s a backpackish affair, but not in that conservative, boring way – it’s just a soulful jam session…

Are Amyl & The Sniffers punk? Are they something else? Does it matter? No. They’re back though and have things to say and noisy guitars, so strap in. They’ve got a new LP coming out – the first in three years – and it is called ‘Cartoon Darkness’. There’s a new single to listen to…

Godspeed You! Black Emperor – everyone’s noisiest gig they’ve been too – are back with a new album soon, and it has a typically awkward ame for the time being, which is comforting. We don’t want GY!BE being all cuddly, do we? Not one bit. This new album is titled “NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340…

Oasis have got back together and that’s great/terrible news. Millions of people have reacted to the shock reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher with unadulterated joy/weariness as the pair set about assembling a group for some live shows which are sure to be epic/a massive letdown. Of course, Oasis are responsible for some of the…

Yaeji’s hyperactive electronic pop can veer in all directions, but we’re very glad to report that the new one is aimed squarely at the dancefloor and phasers are seemingly set to ‘banger‘. The new track is called ‘booboo’ and, after moving away from clubland, it seems they’re back at it and taking names and numbers…

Niche genres are a silly thing music fans and record collectors love to indulge. Even if you can settle on the specifics of these genres, you then get to the meat and potatoes of pointlessly ranking things. We’re not going to rank them here, even though we were tempted to in a lousy bid to…

Ever find yourself in this situation? You think you’ve stumbled across someone amazing that no-one else is on, you go to follow them on Instagram and see everyone’s already on it? You preemptively thought about letting everyone in on a new and exciting thing to find out that they may well end up thinking ‘about…

And she’s back with a new single which is, of course, aimed squarely at shaking your behinds along with. After the resurgence thanks to ‘Murder On The…

PLEASE DON’T SPOOK KATE BUSH
Kate Bush spooks pretty easily, so while it’s okay to get excited at the prospect of new music from her, please don’t frighten her off with over-the-top proclamations and hype she can’t live up to, okay? Cheers, thanks, magic. No-one is listening, are they? She’s said, in an interview with Radio 4, that she’s got…

LISTEN TO RONI SIZE TALK
DJ Magazine have been sharing some ace videos about dance hits with the people who made them. They’re all gold, honestly. This one stars Roni Size talking about the magical ‘Brown Paper Bag’ and what led him to the ‘New Forms’ LP and more. Super interesting, so press play.
