WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Well, we were halfway there. The cat is now out of the bag, and Paul McCartney has announced his 18th solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane. The album is out in May, and the track listing is already on Spotify etc. And better yet, there’s a nostalgic, pleasant song to listen to as well,…

Gelli Haha‘s ‘Switcheroo’ LP was a whole bundle of fun and something we played a lot last year. She’s got a new song out, which is great news as it might mean a new album is on the way for 2026! The new single is called ‘Klouds Will Carry Me To Sleep’ and happily, it’s…

Country Joe McDonald passed away last week, leaving us remembering his biggest known hot – ‘I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ To Die Rag’ – feeling horribly topical. See, while a lot of anti-war songs are serious, sombre affairs, Joe’s was deeply sarcastic and intentionally fun to singalong with. As the US indulges itself with yet…

There’s been rumours swirling of a new album from Paul McCartney, and he’s been sharing playlists and whatnot, which feature an emoji of a bird. Well, here’s some unverified rumours which we’re definitely sharing because if we’re right, we we can shout TOLD YOU SO, and if we’re wrong, ah well. The new album is…

Primitive Ring are LA based noiseniks who are, in some way related to Ty Segall for what it’s worth, and they have a new track out that reminds us of fun stuff like Bongzilla and The Melvins and psychedelic garage punk and all manner of good stuff! They’re gonna release their new self-titled album on…

6LACK’s ‘East Atlanta Love Letter’ is one of R&B’s modern masterpieces, and fans will have been playing his back catalogue to death while waiting for a new album. Good news is that there’s a new one due on May 22nd, called ‘Love Is The New Gangsta’. More importantly for you now, is the new track…

If you’re old and remember them, or are young and like looking at vintage gear, you’ll know all about those gorgeous consoles that featured in homes. Consoles, for the uninitiated, were beautiful pieces of furniture that housed a record player, speakers, an amp, and sometimes other things like radios and storage. They were the entertainment…

Honestly, it is pretty depressing to keep writing about artificial intelligence. It’s like some kind of black mold that no-one can ever fully scrub away. Of course, there’s something vaguely exciting about the possibilities of future technologies, but this one isn’t cutting it. Away from the literal fascism-supporting elements of Big Tech pushing this on…

We’d kinda like to take the piss out of Elijah Wood, especially now he’s revealed he’s doing a Lord of the Rings rave. However, he seems like a genuinely nice bloke with nice interests, so we’re not going to be mocking him here. He’s launched an indie record label, released some nice looking headphones made…

Gladie’s new album is coming out at the end of the week and goes by the name of ‘No Need To Be Lonely’. You can have a sneak peek of what it sounds like with new song ‘I Want That For You’. It is kinda grungy, ’90s, noisy realness, if you’ve been yearning for such sounds…

HEAVY PSYCH FROM EARTH TONGUE
If you like your psychedelic music to be fuzzy and heavy, then you need to get on the new track from Earth Tongue. They’re going to release a new album – their third – and it is produced by Ty Segall. It will be called ‘Dungeon Vision’, and the track we’re sharing here is called…

JAMES BLAKE WITH MORE ROBO SOUL
James Blake has returned with some new music, namely, the first single from the new album ‘Trying Times’, which is landing on shelves digital or otherwise on March 13th. The new song is called ‘Death of Love’, which he performs live in the new video for it. Look, with names like those, they’re not going…

SIDESHOW’S INTERESTING RAP
In all honesty, we don’t know much about the rapper who calls himself Sideshow, but we just heard a new track from them and we thought it was pretty interesting. Do you call it indie-hip hop? Whatever it is, it isn’t rage rap, trapcentric or a Golden Era throwback, which means he’s making music in…

ALDOUS HARDING TOUR DATES
Did you see Aldous Harding post something on Instagram recently, about some tour dates, but couldn’t really read it because the colours were making your eyes go fizzy and the quality of the image was pretty bad? Well, don’t worry – we’ve written them all down so you don’t have to squint. She’s going on…
