WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
In all honesty, we don’t know much about the rapper who calls himself Sideshow, but we just heard a new track from them and we thought it was pretty interesting. Do you call it indie-hip hop? Whatever it is, it isn’t rage rap, trapcentric or a Golden Era throwback, which means he’s making music in…

Did you see Aldous Harding post something on Instagram recently, about some tour dates, but couldn’t really read it because the colours were making your eyes go fizzy and the quality of the image was pretty bad? Well, don’t worry – we’ve written them all down so you don’t have to squint. She’s going on…

We had to go with the ClickHole headline “Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point” headline, as Kid Rock sat before Congress and created a situation where a horrible idiot made a sound point. See, Kid Rock – Robert Ritchie to his doctor – has testified about the costs of gig…

Shintaro Sakamoto has been quietly blowing minds for musical magpies for a while though, but for those not with their ear tuned to Japanese rock, the name might not be familiar. More’s the pity, because Sakamoto is one of the most prolific artists on the planet right now, channelling psych, AOR, funk, slo-mo ’80s soul,…

Thundercat is back with some more deliciously smooth shit, as he announces a brand new album in the process. It only seems like yesterday that he released a record, but it’s actually six whole years since we had a long player of his to listen to. The new album is out April 3rd and from…

We’ve written about Green-House and featured them on our radio show – fact is, in ambient circles, you won’t find many records better. With that, it’s wonderful to learn that there’s a new album due called ‘Hinterlands’. If you’re sold enough and just want the facts, it’ll be released on 20th March on Ghostly International,…

Kneecap aren’t mucking around and are back with a new single called ‘Liars Tale’, taking potshots at Kier Starmer in the process. The track is from forthcoming LP ‘FENIAN’, which will land on April 24th. In the track, you’ll hear: “Fuck Keir Starmer, Netanyahu’s bitch and genocide harmer” adding they’ve “never seen a cunt so boring.”…

Post Punk always had a dog in the fight. That was always kinda the point, right? From Gang Of Four’s leftie funk, to The Fall’s derelict shopping precincts and alcoholic bookwormery, to Siouxsie’s genuinely otherness, you always felt it was bands with some skin in the game. While punk could often feel like middle class tourists…

Record collectors and music nerds have been excitedly sharing Robert Lester Folsom’s ‘April Suzanne’ with each other thanks to a reappraisal of a song that defines Loner Folk as a genre. He recorded his album ‘Music and Dreams’ in 1976, and in 2010, Mexican Summer reissued it and his stature grew further. Since then, there’s…

The precarious nature of live music venues at the moment, is not to be underestimated. Of course, live music will always exist by hook or by crook, but why does it have to be so difficult for venues? With that, the Music Venue Trust have shared their annual report, which shows how hard 2025 was.…

COOL GLOBAL HOUSE JAZZ FROM ROI TURBO
If you’re into Jazzanova, or even Todd Terje or Nu Genea, then here’s something you should get your chops around – the new single from Roi Turbo. The pair are two brothers who go by the name of Benjamin and Conor McCarthy, and they make the kind of music that crosses over out of the…

YET ANOTHER BANGER FROM SHYGIRL
Shygirl really doesn’t miss, and has been making some killer party music for a while now. Unsurprisingly, she was invited to open for Charli XCX, to light the touch paper on Brat Summer. We like Shygirl in bouncy hip-house mode the best, so with the announcement of a new EP called ‘Club Shy Room 2’,…

AZCHIKE WITH THE NEW BAP
A recent appearance on the new Kendrick LP, ‘GNX’, isn’t going to anyone’s appeal any harm. So with that, after a guestie, West Coast’s AZChike has released a new track while the iron is hot. It’s a clatterer and goes by the name of ‘Love Yo Weapons’, and you can hear it below. —

MACCA’S ALIEN MUSICAL
Nothing should surprise us when it comes to Paul McCartney’s creativity. The man has been making LPs bursting with ideas and songs that switch pace halfway through, making you wonder just how much weed he was smoking at any given time. Sometimes, it’s a playful spirit, sometimes, you can actively hear his attention span being…
