WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Let’s face it – there’s not many better names on the front of a record than Ross From Friends. We can only think of DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ as one we like more. For those not initiated, Ross From Friends makes dance music and a lot of it absolutely slaps. And handily, there’s a

When Dawn Richard releases new music, you owe it to yourself to listen up. She’s terrifically underrated and versatile and time and time again, she makes wonderful and interesting things. With that, she’s back, and we’re thrilled! The new song is called ‘Bubblegum’ and it’s a whole tonne of maximum fun. Richard has gone super

Sometimes, good music feels like it actively nourishes you and one such band that are better than vitamins are Sweden’s Dina Ögon. Seriously – you’ll actively feel better about your insides after listening to them. So what’s the deal? Well, two albums in, the group are melding styles that are all as wonderful as each

This is some Eurovision news, but only the semi-final, so don’t get too worked up. You read Rita Ora in the headline and either got excited or irritated. Calm your boots, there’s plenty of time for pithiness yet. Besides, there’s something quite fun to talk about, but we’ll get to that. Rita Ora, again making

Most famous for being a lead in the 5th Dimension, Marilyn McCoo is obviously a wonderful, wonderful singer. If you’ve ever listened to the harmony group, you’ll already know what a gorgeous singing voice she has. She’s been party to a number of fabulous hits and when she went solo, not as successful as in
-
John Cameron is a British music legend and you’ll definitely know his work knowingly or otherwise. If you’re wondering who he is, then if you’ve watched ‘Kes’, that’s him doing the soundtrack (and what a perfect soundtrack it is). If you’ve listened to Donovan, then he pretty much did the arrangements on all of Donovan’s

This is 100% going to be an article that rants about the state of Twitter with the incredibly thin premise of being music related, because Doja Cat has said something funny about it. If you’re desperate for a Doja Cat music angle take – yes, she’s been a bit problematic and dim, and her next

Noname is one of the most prodigiously talented rappers on the planet and wilfully at odds with the rest of the pack, which makes her music such a scintillating prospect. Melding beat poetry with Neo Soul, golden age funk, and a delivery that allows for both self-doubt and self-assurance, she’s been making some of the

Remember how we all laughed at the influencers when they got duped into the world’s most awful music experience at Fyre Festival? How we all snorted at the dry-ass cheese sandwiches, hell-scapes, bedlam and tall talk from founder Billy McFarland? Well, someone tell the meme-makers and shitposters, because it’s coming back according to McFarland. Maybe

Fun, sun-soaked piano pop? Thanks to the new one from Bonny Doon, we can shout YES PLEASE! The track is called ‘Let There Be Music’ and it’s the title track from the new LP they’re releasing with ANTI on June 16th. If the rest of the album is anything like this, then we’re sure to

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,…
