WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
It is fair to say that Wolf Alice’s new album is pretty keenly anticipated, and they’ve got a new song out which is only going to add to any excitement from their fans. In fact, we’d suggest that the latest one might be the pick of the crop. It’s called ‘White Horses’ and it’s a…

Disclosure are always a whole load of fun when they’re collaborating with guest vocalists, and now they’ve dropped a track with Anderson Paak, which makes a lot of sense and we’re surprised it hasn’t happened before. With that in mind, it seems like this one has been on the boiler for a while. The group…

You may know Jehnny Beth from Savages, but now, we’re dealing with a solo record which goes by the name of ‘High Resolution Sadness’, and it is absolutely brutal and needs to be played loud enough to leak out of your headphones on the bus. This is from Beth’s second solo album, ‘You Heartbreaker, You’, which is…

What do you do when you’ve amassed an adoring, fevered set of fans and you need to occasionally tell them off? It’s something we’ve seen with Chappell Roan, and so too, with Ethel Cain, who is an underground sensation, now gently bursting overground. Before you even get to the music, you’re aware that there’s been…

Is it Nu Balearica? Is it Nu Age music? Whatever it is, there’s been a spurt in creativity in good vibe music that doesn’t make the demands off anyone as a listener, but is spiritually nourishing and washes over you with that good time feeling. As young DJs and dancers have found a parallel lane…

There’s something very wholesome and pure about Saint Etienne. That’s not to say they’re weedy nerds or anything, but their love of pop is an admirable thing, so the mere mention of them makes you feel all gooey, and that’s to be celebrated. So with that, they’ve shared a new song called ‘Take Me To…

One of the most infectious, dancefloor exploding tracks of the ’90s was the irresistible and utterly immense ‘Jump N Shout’ by Basement Jaxx, headed up by the irrepressible Slarta John who made the song erupt with energy and joy. Sadly, Slarta John – real name Mark James – has passed away, as confirmed by Basement…

Not THE Automatic – this is just Automatic. This lot are from Los Angeles and are signed to Stones Throw. They have a new single out which we think you’ll like. The new song is taken from forthcoming album ‘Is It Now?’, which you’ll be able to hear in full on September 26th from the…

We’re kinda not sure what music is being made by Nourished by Time, and honestly, that’s a good thing in the year of our lord, 2025. It’s so easy to get tripped up by genres, and here, we’ve got a song that has an applaudable free spirit. It’s not pop, it’s not freestyle, it’s not…

Everyone was scrabbling around looking for a password so they could hear Hayley Williams’ new music, we found it, nearly published it before it transpired that she’d removed all the music from her website. What a palaver. Well, good news is that she’s officially released the 17 songs for everyone to hear so we don’t…

TIM & ERIC WITH NEW RECORD LABEL
If you know Tim Heidecker, he takes having a laugh pretty seriously and as well as being a fine comedian, writer, podcaster and musician, he’s also willing to put his money where his talented mouth is. Tim, along with Eric Wareheim and Dave Kneebone founded Abso Lutely Productions which gave us ‘Tim and Eric Awesome…

LAUREN MAYBERRY ‘SOMETHING IN THE AIR’
You;l know Lauren Mayberry from the ace Chvrches, but she’s had some really cool solo stuff out and there’s a new one for you called ‘Something In The Air’, which is coming out ahead of the new LP ‘Vicious Creature’. The press release says the album is about “sexuality and empowerment from a profoundly personal…

THE HORRORS ARE BACK, DOOM MERCHANTS
The Horrors are back with a new line-up and after some genuinely great neon coloured synthy bits, they’re back to their gothic roots with a new track called ‘The Silence That Remains’. Of course, there’ll be an album and tour too. You can find dates yourself, but the LP is called ‘Night Life’. So what’s this…

ROBBIE WILLIAMS AS A MONKEY – LOOK
There’s a trailer to look at, which sees Robbie Williams as a monkey. Now, that’s not your average sentence to write, but that’s the score as Robbie has a new biopic coming out, and instead of getting someone to just play him straight, he’s gone for a dollop of fantasy, which admit it – is…
