WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Have you heard the acid latest from Das Koolies? If you didn’t know, the Super Furries minus Gruff are making some ace music under this new guise and it’s more synth forward and of course, it’s super fun Welsh psychedelic business as usual! The new track is called ‘Katal’ and comes with Gabe Gurnsey remixes,
-
Weyes Blood is great and, long shot prediction – it’s only a matter of time before some hip director casts her in an indie film, right? Anyway, she’s returned with a new video for the magic ‘Twin Flame’ which you’ll know from her last album, which is brilliant. It’s another ’70s horror affair and it’s

If you’ve heard Margo Guryan’s music, then you’re probably already completely head-over-heels with it. Well, if you’ve been eyeing up some vinyl, the fabulous kids over at Numero Uno who can seemingly do no wrong, have something you’ll like! There’s going to be a series of Margo’s music, and the first is a really lovely

You may not have heard of Henry Diltz, but chances are, you’ve seen some of his photos. Diltz was there man, shooting some of the greatest to ever do it, focusing on the assorted crew that hung with Crosby Stills Nash & Young. He’s got a gorgeous new book of photos out called CSN&Y: Love

The crew over at Dream Chimney always share amazing music (you can follow them on social media for regular updates on cool shit) and they’ve got a killer mix for the tail-end of summer from Aura Safari. Need to read some words before hitting play? Well, if you’re into Nu-Age, Balearic and Italo bits, this

Adam Scott plays Normal Wry Guy better than most, so it’s kinda comforting to know that, in real life, he’s a Grade A Dadrock Guy. Along with Scott Aukerman have a pod which has been through a few names, talking about some serious double denim jams. They talked about U2’s back catalogue with a podcast

From Singapore, named after a Final Fantasy character, and making the kind of music that feels like it was artificially created by grafting the echoes of the literal internet to a young person’s DNA in some experiment that we haven’t worked out if it’s cruel or not, there’s no-one quite like Yeule. Is it tech

Yes! Mclusky are back! Of course, they’re the most clever-clever knuckleheads who ever graced a bleeding earhole, which means their fans can err on the side of very devoted, but shurrup, they’re fuckin’ dynamite and it’s great they’re back! Back how? Well, with an absolute glorious racket, they’ve put out their first music in a

John Carpenter is twiddling the knobs again, with Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies on a new version of his ’69th St Bridge’ which of course, was first heard on his ‘Escape To New York’. It’s a chunky, gnarly little number that will tickle the pickle of anyone who is into fun, sparse synth music. There’s

When the tabloids went after George Michael, it was an appalling act of pettiness and spitefulness that saw him outed, not that his legions of fans cared about who he was fucking. So, it was a coup de grâce for George to tackle the whole thing head-on with his next single, ‘Outside’, where he gave

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…

We don’t want GY!BE being all cuddly, do we? Not one bit. This new album is titled “NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340…

OBLIG OASIS ARTICLE
Oasis have got back together and that’s great/terrible news. Millions of people have reacted to the shock reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher with unadulterated joy/weariness as the pair set about assembling a group for some live shows which are sure to be epic/a massive letdown. Of course, Oasis are responsible for some of the…

YAEJI WITH ANOTHER BANGER
Yaeji’s hyperactive electronic pop can veer in all directions, but we’re very glad to report that the new one is aimed squarely at the dancefloor and phasers are seemingly set to ‘banger‘. The new track is called ‘booboo’ and, after moving away from clubland, it seems they’re back at it and taking names and numbers…
