WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Island Records is one of the most legendary record labels in the history of rock, pop, reggae and more. Especially iconic is the ‘Island pink’ years, where the records sported a gorgeous baby pink label and was home to some of the finest records ever cut on the lathe. With that, following first volume, there’s

It certainly seems there’s a quiet revival of boom bap rap in recent years, underlined obviously, by the all-conquering Doechii LP released last year. Of course, she’s not the only one putting a fresh twist on golden era hip hop, and now we look to the new one from prodigious talent Che Noir. Hailing from

We wrote a very glowing review of the wonderful album by Tortoise cohort Jeff Parker and his IVtet, being one of the best jazz LPs we’ve bought in years. In case you missed, Parker and his band did a blissfully wonderful and super invigorating set for the always great NPR Tiny Desk. Watch it here.

If you’re into DIY indie music, chances are, you’re already fizzing with excitement at the mere mention of Comet Gain. If you’re not, let us introduce you to them with their new single called ‘Beat Of The Veins’. It’s skuzzy pop music, and this new song heralds the imminent arrival of new long-player, ‘Letters To

Look, we understand that talking about anyone’s appearance is entirely reductive, especially when part of this project is about (in her own words) not “chasing perfection.” However, as raw as her new video is, we couldn’t stop looking at her fancy teeth. Have they been like that for ages? Is that the difference between normal

Eurovision is tonight, so if you don’t want spoilers, look away. The bookmakers have been having their say, after doing whatever research they do, and listening to whatever grapevine they’ve been earwigging. Will they be right? Maybe, maybe not. We’ll find out on the night. We can listen to their five favourites in advance, and

We wondered if Wolf Alice were coming back. Well, turns out they were and they have a new single out which is really cool and has a whiff of NYC Cuban music about it, which is never a bad thing! The single is called ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ and it’ll appear on new album ‘The Clearing’.

They’ve been on tour with hot new Alt Country thing, MJ Lenderman, so it won’t surprise anyone who hasn’t heard of Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band are cut from a very similar cloth, making fun slacker country music for lads who drink PBR and chong weed vapes. Hailing from Kentucky, Ryan Davis and his

Tchotchke are one of the finest power pop, bubblegum groups around. You heard their Lemon Twigs produced LP? If not, remedy that, stat. They have a cool new single out called ‘Did You Hear?’ which has been dipped in sugar and is all kinds of wonderful. Enough yapping – press play already.

Everyone’s favourite ’90s crush, Evan Dando, is back as The Lemonheads with the first bit of properly new music in almost 20 years. He’s still being tuneful, slackerish, and a general bohemian dreamboat, of course. He’s teamed up with J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr as well as Lemonhead cohort Juliana Hatfield and it’ll all feel

CAN WE JUST STOP WITH THIS NOW?
Look. We get it. It’s nigh on impossible to get people to get people to talk and read about music. And this is not a boring hit job on the sensation that is Taylor Swift – she’s musically fine, and all. But c’mon. Do we need this?

REVIEW / THE JUNIPERS / IMAGINARY FRIENDS
When the world finds itself in dark times, art responds in a number of ways – one of the valuable replies to the horror of it all is the chance to escape. Lately, there’s been a number of great songs and albums that deal in dissolving your troubles away or living in pursuit of pleasure.…

CROWDFUNDER FOR ASHLEY BEEDLE
Ashley Beedle’s involvement with X-Press 2, being namechecked in Daft Punk’s ‘Teachers’, sending Elton John’s ‘Are You Ready For Love?’ to number one, and decades of wonderful, rafters rattling DJ sets means that no-one should be in any doubt that he’s one of the legends of dance music. And when a legend needs your help,…
