WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Kaytranada is great – everyone knows that. So it is great news that there’s new music to sink our teeth into, right? Well, there’s going to be a new LP called ‘Aint No Damn Way!’ on Friday! That’s tomorrow! Surprise! To whet the appetite, here’s the boogie neon gem ‘Space Invader’ to listen to. A

No, not a snuff movie – don’t be silly now. Depeche Mode have teamed up with Mexican director Fernando Frias for a new movie which looks at the Mexican relationship with dying, with the group squarely in the film itself. Rather than acting, ‘M’ will revolve around live footage of the group during their ‘Memento
-
Rochelle Jordan is one of the best artists around and she keeps releasing great music to underline how great she is. The singles that have preceded the imminent album have all been excellent and the new one is doing bits too. The new track is called ‘Doing It Too’, taken from the sure-to-be brilliant album ‘Through
-
One of the tried and tested answers to the lack of money bands get from streaming is ‘play more shows’, under the assumption that gigs are the last vestige of earning for any small group out there. Of course, there’s a raft of costs involved in travelling with a show and touring is not cheap.
-
Another day, another band leaving Spotify. If this is a sign of things to come, it’s worth pointing out that this is very embryonic at the moment, with most artists remaining on the service – but there does seem to be something in the air. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are the latest group
-
Bob Dylan is pretty tight-lipped mostly, and when answering questions, prefers to be on the side of cryptic. It is fair to say that he’d rather let his music do the talking, which is probably why fans read so much into his songs. With that, for the first time in years, he’s opened his set
-
It is fair to say that Wolf Alice’s new album is pretty keenly anticipated, and they’ve got a new song out which is only going to add to any excitement from their fans. In fact, we’d suggest that the latest one might be the pick of the crop. It’s called ‘White Horses’ and it’s a
-
Disclosure are always a whole load of fun when they’re collaborating with guest vocalists, and now they’ve dropped a track with Anderson Paak, which makes a lot of sense and we’re surprised it hasn’t happened before. With that in mind, it seems like this one has been on the boiler for a while. The group
-
You may know Jehnny Beth from Savages, but now, we’re dealing with a solo record which goes by the name of ‘High Resolution Sadness’, and it is absolutely brutal and needs to be played loud enough to leak out of your headphones on the bus. This is from Beth’s second solo album, ‘You Heartbreaker, You’, which is
-
What do you do when you’ve amassed an adoring, fevered set of fans and you need to occasionally tell them off? It’s something we’ve seen with Chappell Roan, and so too, with Ethel Cain, who is an underground sensation, now gently bursting overground. Before you even get to the music, you’re aware that there’s been

NEW MUSIC FROM MEN I TRUST
Men I Trust – it’s been a while. The last thing they put out was back in 2021 when they released their ‘Untourable Album’, which went down very well with everyone. Of course, there’s been dribs and drabs, and last year they put out the ace ‘Ring of Past’, but now, they’re back with a…

PSYCHY ELECTRONICS FROM THE GREEN CHILD
The Green Child are an Aussie group that went from two members to four (apologies for the old picture, then) and they have a really cool new single out called ‘Wow Factor’ which reminds us of loads of good stuff made by loads of other cool and unique bands. Seriously, we’re into it! There’s a…

YOU’RE NOT ELECTED CHARLIE BROWN
Vince Guaraldi’s work with the soundtrack on the Peanuts cartoons is rightly the stuff of legend. Achingly cool and whistleable jazz, bopping away under the utterly charming and razor sharp voice work from the Shultz created characters, which obviously include Snoopy and the mighty Charlie Brown. Re-discovered in the vaults is the somewhat timely ‘You’re…

MORE COOL TWANG FROM ALLEGRA KREIGER
Allegra Krieger has a new album out called ‘Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine’, and you’ll be able to hear that tomorrow in fact! Below is the final single that preempts it, and it’s really cool. We really liked another single she released in the build-up to this – here – which was a neat…
