  • 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…

  • 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…

  • GUIDE / COSMIC COUNTRY ALBUMS

    Niche genres are a silly thing music fans and record collectors love to indulge. Even if you can settle on the specifics of these genres, you then get to the meat and potatoes of pointlessly ranking things. We’re not going to rank them here, even though we were tempted to in a lousy bid to…

Regardless of whether you’re the kind of person who does that or not, the new Punitive Damage…

  • IS JADE THIRWALL THE MOST INTERESTING POPSTAR WE HAVE?

    We’ve all seen how tricky the pop landscape is when you go it alone after being in a successful group for years and years. It is by no-means a sure thing and, where new artists may be given the chance to breathe and grow, someone from a successful group comes with the baggage of expectation.…

  • NEIL YOUNG CLASSIC REDUX

    For years, Neil Young’s ‘On The Beach’ was something of a forgotten classic and it took an age to see a proper reissue. When it did, everyone updated their internal lists of which Neil Young LPs they liked the best, because it really is one of his finest works. Well, it’s getting a do-over again,…
