WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Well, we told you about The Junipers brilliant new single, and now you can hear it and see it! It’s called ‘Annie Almond’ and it is a perfectly timed slice of psychedelic pop and they once again they prove to be the greatest band on the planet. The song is available exclusively on their Bandcamp

Mark Lanegan’s estate have announced a new box set of ‘Bubblegum’ to celebrate the 20th anniversary of it. The best bit of news for you is that it will include 12 previously unreleased songs. It’ll be called ‘Bubblegum XX’ and you’ll be able to hear it on August 23rd, and for vinyl heads, there’ll be

Confidence Man are the funnest thing around and if you’re feeling cynical about them, you need to sort yourself out. ConMan are not that deep. Big bangers. Daft dance routines. Pure hedonism and self aware. Get on it for a good time, not a long time etc. Well, they’ve got a new song and a

You may not know this, but thankfully we’re on hand to let you in on the secret – The Junipers are the greatest band in the entire world. Melding heady psychedelia, bubblegum pop and baroque rock, there’s no-one quite like them. Impossibly catchy, superbly crafted and two tonnes of fun, they’ve been hibernating for a

Even though Keir Starmer looks like he listens to The Smiths, presently, there’s enough reasons to be cheerful by virtue of the fact that the UK’s political landscape should settle down and y’know, Labour aren’t The Tories and they might actually listen. Of course, they’re politicians so no-one in their right mind should get their

Where have our paragraphs gone? Why are all the words bunched up like that? Look, if we had the answers, we would have fixed it already. It is being looked into. If everything goes screwy, it’s because we’re in the back room shovelling coal and pulling levers and half hoping it fixes itself.

Camila Cabello can’t seemingly catch a break. Whether it’s poor advice or self inflicted is largely a moot point, because the basic kicker is that ‘Havana’ aside, her career has seen her become famous, but not cool. We’ll stay away from the tittle-tattle that may or may not make her a divisive pop figure and

For those who know who Cornelius is, you’ll need know introduction. For the rest, he’s one of the finest musicians that Japan has ever produced. To his pals, he’s Keigo Oyamada, and he’s bounced around genres from electronica, to Kosmiche, to music that saw him dubbed the “modern day Brian Wilson”. Whatever he is, you

Wipeout was a behemoth of a video game, which saw gamers racing anti-gravity vehicles at breakneck speed on the PlayStation. That’s fun and all but that’s not the whole story. See, anyone who remembers it and liked to have their weekends chemically altered, they knew that Wipeout had one of the most banging soundtracks of

DIG THIS SCORPIONS TRACK RIGHT NOW
Look, no-one knows everything and has heard every song. We only just heard of Scorpions’ ‘Sails of Charon’ and we’re 100% obsessed with it, top to bottom. From the blistering guitar work at the start, to the stank-face funkiness that makes the drummer stick his chin out, to the tiny-ass singer dancing in his heels,…

MARGO GURYAN TRIBUTE COMP
Margo Guryan’s music just keeps getting rediscovered, and with that momentum, a tribute comp has been made called ‘Like Someone I Know: A Celebration of Margo Guryan’, which will see the light of day in November. To whet the appetite, we can now listen to Frankie Cosmos and Good Morning’s version of ‘Take A Picture’,…

NEW SINGLE FROM DERYA YILDIRIM
First off, let us give the band their proper name – Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek – it doesn’t fit nicely in a headline, but whatever, this is one of the best bands on Planet Earth right now, mixing funk and psychedelic rock with Turkish, Anatolian music. We’ve written excitedly about them before. The group…

FKA TWIGS IS GOOD TO HAVE AROUND
Being honest, FKA Twigs can be a little frustrating musically BUT it is always interesting, and she definitely means it man, so we shouldn’t let our personal tastes get in the way of the sheer enjoyment of having her around. Anyway, there’s a new track called ‘Eusexua’, co-pro’d by Twigs herself with Koreless and Eartheater.…
