WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

Fans of drinking pints and classic Electro compilations – this is a niche but perfect article for you! For the 40th anniversary of the legendary comps, there’s some special beer being brewed, and boy, the whole thing is handsome and great. The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing…

There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots…

These K-Pop bands are a massive, multi-million dollar business and on one hand, it’s great to see young pop fans getting into music that is spoken in something that isn’t English. However, there’s a big problem – what’s with all the Nazi stuff?! The most recent news concerns Chaeyoung who is a member of Twice.…

If you asked ‘Missy who?’ after reading that headline, then maybe this isn’t the website for you. Anyway, there’s been a lot of noise around FLO this past year, and Pop Justice’s Peter Robinson is a fan and genuinely, that’s something you should always take notice of. They won a BRIT Award, so they’re absolutely…

Initially, this article was just going to be a video of a very tired, very angry baby. We bailed on the idea, because that one time someone reviewed a Jet LP with nothing more than a video of a chimp drinking it’s own piss was effectively the pinnacle of that kind of thing, and has…

BONGZILLA. Just read that name back. It’s great isn’t it? Read that on a festival line-up, and you’re taking notice aren’t you? Handily, it perfectly captures their sound too – thick, heavy doom psychedelic rock. They’ve got a new song out which does exactly what you want to it to, called ‘Hippie Stick’, and they’ll…

Goat released a behemoth of an LP called ‘Oh Death’ much to everyone’s surprise, and now they’re surprising us all again with a new EP called ‘Seu Sangue’ (due out on April 14th, somewhat lessening the surprise when it actually drops). The EP will herald a tour of the UK (and other places) and it’s…
-
The Chemical Brothers – there’s no-one quite like them. Weird, heady drug music, but still a boatload of fun. Well, they’re back with a new thing. In fact, it’s the first new thing since 2021, which is nice. As ever, they’re back with a very heady drug video (that’s still a boatload of fun) and…

MARGO GURYAN TRIBUTE COMP
Margo Guryan’s music just keeps getting rediscovered, and with that momentum, a tribute comp has been made called ‘Like Someone I Know: A Celebration of Margo Guryan’, which will see the light of day in November. To whet the appetite, we can now listen to Frankie Cosmos and Good Morning’s version of ‘Take A Picture’,…

NEW SINGLE FROM DERYA YILDIRIM
First off, let us give the band their proper name – Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek – it doesn’t fit nicely in a headline, but whatever, this is one of the best bands on Planet Earth right now, mixing funk and psychedelic rock with Turkish, Anatolian music. We’ve written excitedly about them before. The group…

FKA TWIGS IS GOOD TO HAVE AROUND
Being honest, FKA Twigs can be a little frustrating musically BUT it is always interesting, and she definitely means it man, so we shouldn’t let our personal tastes get in the way of the sheer enjoyment of having her around. Anyway, there’s a new track called ‘Eusexua’, co-pro’d by Twigs herself with Koreless and Eartheater.…
