WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Remember everyone (well, not everyone) kicking off about BBC Radio 1’s Sound Of Poll? Chappell Roan won last time around, but a good number of people thought she was too famous to have won a prize for being a ‘rising’ act. They kinda had a point. The BBC have now said that acts with a

More new music from Jay Som who has her first new music out in six whole years. The new album is called ‘Belong’, and you’ll be able to hear the full thing TODAY if you head to your favourite platform or local indie. This new song from it, is called ‘Past Lives’, and features Paramore’s
-
When music lacks the usual verse-chorus-verse, it’s difficult to explain why you like it. Like a good techno album, you’re found waving your hands around and saying “I dunno – it just works and it’s all great!”, as you try and pinpoint various sections that made your brain fizz. Likewise, when faced with ambient music,

Fcukers aren’t exactly Too Cool To Smile In Photos, but they have a similar vibe as they seem like the kind of kids who know where all the cool parties are, and you find out about them a full six months after they got bored of them. Either way, they’ve put a new song out
-
The PinkPantheress really surprised us by how much we enjoyed it. It’s a potted history of UK dance music, shot through a bubblegum pop lens, and top to bottom, the whole thing is infectious as hell. Well, there’s a remix album of ‘Fancy That’ which is a star-studden affair. Better still is that you won’t

Forgive the mildly clickbait headline, but there’s a chance you recognise the name Little Dragon and don’t know the members of it. Lead singer from the project, Yukimi, has got some solo bits out. Seeing as Little Dragon were pretty great, then this is good news for fans of them, right? This track – ‘All

Matt Berry, real heads know, is a fabulous musician as well as a fine comedic actor. Killer psych, folk, and remakes of tricksy TV themes – he’s our kinda guy! Well, you need to see an advert he’s made for Telepathic Instruments with Jermaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords fame. What a dream pairing
-
We already told you that the Super Furry Animals are back, and you knew before we’d even told you – it’s good news for anyone who is a fan of psychedelic pop, glam stompers and adventures rock, right? Well, with the 20th anniversary edition of Love Kraft coming out, there’s a song from those sessions
-
Nardwuar might just be the nicest interviewer on the planet, with his deep dives and enthusiasm paired with his DIY aesthetic. He’s been at it for years and you wish him all the luck in the world as he scratches around record shops and basement shows, as well as interviewing some of music’s biggest names.

Nightlife is changing in the UK, and not for the better. Everything being more expensive is hurting businesses and customers alike, resulting in fewer people wanting to go out, and ultimately, it’s our sense of community and literal togetherness is lost. Another legend is closing their doors as G-A-Y in Soho have said that it

REVIEW / COCO + CLAIR CLAIR / GIRL
Pop’s best You Can’t Sit With Us pair, Coco + Clair Clair are back with a new album after dropping the achingly cool ‘Aggy’ [listen here] which cements their place as one of the more unique acts to hail from Atlanta. With their to-the-minute slang, they’re snarking again and saying “delulu” and, while those would…

CORDAE + ANDERSON PAAK
Look – not all music needs to be deep. Sometimes, you just want something that sounds summery as the month you’re in, and that’s exactly what we’ve got with this new one from Cordae and Anderson .Paak. It’s a backpackish affair, but not in that conservative, boring way – it’s just a soulful jam session…

NEW AMYL + THE SNIFFERS, LIKE
Are Amyl & The Sniffers punk? Are they something else? Does it matter? No. They’re back though and have things to say and noisy guitars, so strap in. They’ve got a new LP coming out – the first in three years – and it is called ‘Cartoon Darkness’. There’s a new single to listen to…
