WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Born in Guinea, but now residing in lovely Margate, Falle Nioke is being the irrepressible multi-instrumental and fine-voiced artist with a new song out that is well worth your time and your ears for listening. Nioke has announced a debut LP which is called ‘Love From Under The Sea’, which you’ll be able to hear
-
Daryl Hall’s transition into grumpy old dude continues apace. After airing his dirty underpants with the fallout of the dissolution of the Hall & Oates partnership – which he could have done quietly and left us to enjoy the tunes – he’s now turned his irritation toward the term ‘Yacht Rock’. Now, before we crack

Now that the acid-casual parents have children old enough to be going out to clubs themselves, it’s fun to think about intergenerational happenings on the the dancefloors of the UK, with mum and son going halves on some pills. With that, there’s a new track out which will be a bridge between “I used to
-
There’s been a helluva lot of dreamy, pastel-hued music released over the last decade, perhaps in direction opposition to the spiky turmoil of the broader world at large… or perhaps it’s the resurgence of psychedelic drugs? Either way, it’s easy to get vibe-fatigue and wish someone would write a chorus. While we’ve found ourselves wanting

Cosey Fanni Tutti is a legend, of course, so it is great to report that there’s a new track for you to get stuck into, which has been taken from the forthcoming new album ‘2t2’, which you’ll be able to hear in full June 13th. A nine-track album, performed and composed entirely by herself, it
-
Whether Arcade Fire like it or not, there won’t be many reviews about their new LP that fails to mention the accusations against Win Butler’s alleged sexual misconduct. As its been so well reported elsewhere, we’re going to focus on the music contained within latest releas, ‘Pink Elephant’, even if there’s a nagging send of
-
We’ve had the good fortune to see TOPS live and what a treat they were. Shimmering, psychedelic indie-pop that feels actively good for the soul. The good news is that they’re back! Apparently, they’ve got a new deal and with that, have released a new single called ‘ICU2’, and it features all the good stuff
-
It would appear we’ve been mishearing ‘Mellow Yellow’ – the smash psychedelic pop hit from Donovan – this entire time. On a surface listen, it’s just one of those daft drug songs, probably about smoking banana peel or something, right? Well, what we assumed was ‘I’m just mad about Fontaine…‘ – it isn’t out of
-
There’s more than one rapper called V.I.C. We’re talking about the one from England, who has shared a new mixtape called ‘VÄRIANT’, which is sounding pretty great on our first listen. There’s echoes of trap in there, as well as UK drill, afrobeat swagger, and a load more too. You’ll hear it when you press
-
Motörhead are great and everyone knows that. What is really great is the announcement that the ‘The Manticore Tapes’ are getting released. Or, if you prefer, their first-ever recording session that they ever did! That is to say, the first recording by Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke, and Philthy Animal, which was undertaken at Emerson, Lake

HEARD ABOUT GINGER ROOT?
Ever find yourself in this situation? You think you’ve stumbled across someone amazing that no-one else is on, you go to follow them on Instagram and see everyone’s already on it? You preemptively thought about letting everyone in on a new and exciting thing to find out that they may well end up thinking ‘about…

NICOLE MIGLIS ELECTRONIC ORCHESTRAL WONDER
We don’t know much about Nicole Miglis, but we’ve heard some hype. Now, hype can be a terrible, terrible thing – but it also sometimes just means that people are excited about something new, so lets lean into the latter and go with the good flow shall we? Miglis has a new LP tomorrow which…

NUBYA GARCIA’S NEO JAZZ GOODNESS
If you’ve been missing that low-lit, seductive Neo Soul of the late ’90s/early ’00s, then London jazzer Nubya Garcia has just the thing for you with her new single, ‘Set It Free’. After bagging a Mercury music prize nom and a huge tour, she’s coming back with a new album by the name of ‘Odyssey’…

REVIEW / NICK WATERS / WITHER
There’s few joys in life that are nicer than tripping over an album completely by chance and finding that it’s an absolute romp of toytown psychedelic and glorious shed pop! While acid-songwriters in the pomp of the ’60s had huge studios, endless tape and orchestras, since then, things have retreated and paired down. The ambition…
