WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The Lemon Twigs have hit a hot streak lately, and in that time, have set up their own record label. Very nice indeed. What that has translated into now, is a solo cut from Brian D’Addario called ‘Till The Morning’, which has a mild echo of The Band in it, along with all the lovely,
-
Ever see Method Man and Redman’s name together on a new release and hope it sounds exactly like you’d hope it’d sound? Great news for you then, because the legendary pair have teamed up on a track that sounds like super fun Golden Era hip hop that’s funny, fun, brassy, and all that good stuff.
-
Electric pioneer and Canadian music legend Bruce Haack is always worth diving into when it comes to one of the most interesting and brilliantly oddball back catalogues, so news of a reissue is worth pricking your ears up for. His 1975 work ‘This Old Man’ is being tarted up and you’ll be able to buy

“You broke my sitar, motherfucker!” In the current climate of pop and rock, it might be impossible to think of a documentary like ‘DIG!’ being made. So unflinching is it in parts, that you can’t foresee the manicured bands of 2025 allowing themselves to be shown quite as starkly as The Dandy Warhols and Brian
-
James Elkington has a very pleasing folkie number out – along with a bunch of other songs too – all for a new LP called ‘Pastel De Nada’. The album is out March 28th, and of the new bits, ‘Very Berk Squad’ is a beautiful little instrumental gem. Press play.
-
AI is objectively awful for people who actually make things. In short, big tech is taking things from people, and it means they’ll lose their income. While some use of AI may make you laugh or be kinda novel, the fact remains that governments the world over are saying that it’s okay for tech companies

Ever wished someone would make some synthpop that leaned a little more on the gothic side of things, without falling into stupid sexpot Industrial music? We have some great news for you! Circuit des Yeux have released a new track called ‘Canopy of Eden’ which is from new LP ‘Halo On The Inside’. It’s a

Mclusky have a small but devoted fanbase and, rightly so, even if occasionally the reaction to adoration from the band can seem fractious at times. It’s all part of nervous, tense fun, obviously. They’ve announced a new album called ‘The World Is Still Here and So Are We’, which is their first in 21 years.

Pearl Charles is great. She’s made shimmering ’70s pop, glitterball disco, and cosmic singer-songwritery stuff. It’s the latter that her latest release errs on the side of, and it’s one of her best songs to date! She’s been working with the brilliant Michael Rault on her new music, and ‘Step Too Far’ is a brooding,

Kanye has been at it recently and a lot of people have been talking about him being off the meds, which illness his brain has, how he’s not been the same since his mother died, and on and on and on and on and on and… It’s obvious that attention is one of the major

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…

IS THIS REALLY THE SWIFTIES VS TECH BROS VOTE IN THE USA?
The presidential race in the USA has a lot hanging on it, for sure, but regardless of that, the whole thing has made for some really good TV. It always does, because one thing the Americans love, is making great television. A thick line has been drawn and either side of it stand two candidates…

WAVY RAP FROM BABYFACE RAY
A lovely little Detroit one-two here from Babyface Ray, featuring Veeze. Babyface has a new album this week called ‘The Kid That Did’ which we’re looking forward to hearing. In advance, you can listen to ‘Wavy Navy University’, which is a psychedelic take on trap-hop. Big Sean, Pusha T and G Herbo count themselves as…

MUNA: SCARY FANS
MUNA are great, have had a number of hot songs, and with that, have seen their popularity rightly grow. The group’s identity have seen them filling a hole in pop culture which has seen a pocket of fans feeling incredibly seen by them, to use the common parlance of the youth. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns…
