WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Did you know Mac DeMarco has a new LP out? And did you know it has 199 songs on it? What’s he like eh, the daft sausage. He’s a charming bugger, so instead of being wordy and worthy, we figured we’d let him do the hard work and we’d just share a video where he
-
Remember we wrote about the price of tickets and the wrath of pop fans? Well, seeing as “ticketmaster” has been trending on Twitter for around 4 months solidly this year, it’s obviously not a topic that is likely to cool any time soon. And we’re chucking some more kindling on the fire, because it’s worth
-
Siouxsie Sioux does seem cooler than all the other UK punk survivors put together, doesn’t she? Then again, the goths have put a claim in for her as theirs too, but whatever. After a hiatus away from the stage, she’s back and we’re stealing someone’s footage to show you, in case you want to see
-
Here’s a new song called ‘Deceiver’ by Claire Rousay and Helena Deland. It’s released on Mexican Summer who, largely speaking, are a record label you can trust. It’s always worth listening to something if it’s released on Mexican Summer. They’ve put out music by Weyes Blood, Cate Le Bon, Best Coast, Kurt Vile, Connan Mockasin,
-
What a great thing to have a band name like Alogte Oho & His Sounds of Joy. Who are they? They’re about to make your day a whole lot better. They’re a group from Ghana who make uplifting, brassy Afrobeat and it does exactly what it says on the tin – it’s filled with joy.

One of the UK’s finest soul singers, lovely Linda Lewis, has sadly died. To many, this may be a new name so let us fill you in as tribute and introduce you to some wonderful music in the meantime. Lewis got a break performing with John Lee Hooker, and was courted by Bowie, Rod Stewart,
-
If you know Adrian Flanagan, you’ll know he’s behind a whole bunch of great music stuff, including The International Teachers of Pop, The Moonlandingz, The Chanteuse & The Crippled Claw and more. Look him up. You’ll have a lovely time. Anyway, at the minute, he’s doing the Acid Klaus thing and there’s a new song
-
When The Weeknd came back with a sort of New Wave angle on his pop-R&B, everyone went nuts, as well as his face. He was making a point about celebrity culture or something, we forget. Well, keep that in mind when you’re listening to the new and very excellent track from Fireboy DML. It’s called
-
Nick Cave eh? Like, he’s really loved. Not everyone loves him of course – who is entirely loved? Certain pockets of the internet have turned on David Attenborough, so y’know, who stands a chance? Anyway, we’re not that bothered about Nick Cave’s music so we’re not going to try and cancel him here (over his
-
Like futuristic music? Like jazz? Well, LA’s High Pulp may well have just the thing for you with their new track called ‘(If You Don’t Leave) The City Will Kill You’. Optimistic title, that. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Days In The Desert’ in July. They’re a collective so there’s loads of

SUPERGRASS TOUR AGAIN
Supergrass have announced that they’re going to tour ‘I Should Coco’ in full, but the statement includes a very fun jab at Oasis and the promise of non-Coco hits too. Let us explain. They’re going to celebrate the anniversary of ‘I Should Coco’ which includes the perfect ‘Lenny’, and of course, smash hit ‘Alright’, by…

LETS ALL LAUGH AT M*RRISSEY
The longest face in pop music is at it again, using the classic grift of being ‘gagged’ and everyone apparently being against them. Seeing as Morrissey has been saying problematic stuff since the mid ’80s, you’ve only yourself to blame for any feelings of disappointment you have as a Smiths fan. While Johnny Marr manages…

REVIEW / LOOKING SUITE / WIDE RANGE DREAM STATE
A new album from Looking Suite is as welcome as throwing the windows open in the middle of gorgeous weather, and as we waddle out of Summer and into Autumn, we find ourselves pressing play on ‘Wide Range Dream State’ – the newest long player from our favourite ambient, post-noodle, neo-prog leaning guy. Released on…

TSHA HAS SOME DANCEFLOOR DYNAMITE FOR YOU
TSHA has a new song out called ‘Green’ and its ace! It’s a dancer, but it’s an emotional affair too – just what we like to see! There’s nothing quite like an emotional banger, right? She says: “Me and my partner were in the studio together, about to write something. He was getting on my nerves,…
