WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Too frequently, the title of legend is bestowed on a person when they shrug off their mortal coil, but with D’Angelo, ‘legend’ doesn’t quite cut it alone. Through his music, music fans were witness to one of the most gifted songwriters and performers of a generation, who also influenced so many and altered the axis…

Peaches is back with her first long player in over a decade and it’s called ‘No Lube So Rude’, which is exactly the kind of title you want from a Peaches record. There’s a new song too, called ‘Not In Your Mouth None Of Your Business’, which is the kind of brash, righteous dance track…
-
The fragility of the American right-wing is getting increasingly farcical as, thanks to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl half-time show. Despite Puerto Rico being a US territory and Bad Bunny being one of the most celebrated artists of 2025, they want to do their own thing. At least they’ve took their own advice and will be…

Remember everyone (well, not everyone) kicking off about BBC Radio 1’s Sound Of Poll? Chappell Roan won last time around, but a good number of people thought she was too famous to have won a prize for being a ‘rising’ act. They kinda had a point. The BBC have now said that acts with a…

More new music from Jay Som who has her first new music out in six whole years. The new album is called ‘Belong’, and you’ll be able to hear the full thing TODAY if you head to your favourite platform or local indie. This new song from it, is called ‘Past Lives’, and features Paramore’s…

When music lacks the usual verse-chorus-verse, it’s difficult to explain why you like it. Like a good techno album, you’re found waving your hands around and saying “I dunno – it just works and it’s all great!”, as you try and pinpoint various sections that made your brain fizz. Likewise, when faced with ambient music,…

Fcukers aren’t exactly Too Cool To Smile In Photos, but they have a similar vibe as they seem like the kind of kids who know where all the cool parties are, and you find out about them a full six months after they got bored of them. Either way, they’ve put a new song out…

The PinkPantheress really surprised us by how much we enjoyed it. It’s a potted history of UK dance music, shot through a bubblegum pop lens, and top to bottom, the whole thing is infectious as hell. Well, there’s a remix album of ‘Fancy That’ which is a star-studden affair. Better still is that you won’t…

Forgive the mildly clickbait headline, but there’s a chance you recognise the name Little Dragon and don’t know the members of it. Lead singer from the project, Yukimi, has got some solo bits out. Seeing as Little Dragon were pretty great, then this is good news for fans of them, right? This track – ‘All…

Matt Berry, real heads know, is a fabulous musician as well as a fine comedic actor. Killer psych, folk, and remakes of tricksy TV themes – he’s our kinda guy! Well, you need to see an advert he’s made for Telepathic Instruments with Jermaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords fame. What a dream pairing…

NEW RAWK FROM SHARON VAN ETTEN
Sharon Van Etten has a new outfit with The Attachment Theory, so sorry for making it sound like a solo cut with the headline, there. No matter, it’s a fine slab of molten rock ‘n’ synth which comes from the group’s debut LP. The track is called ‘Southern Life (What It Must Be Like)’ and…

GIRLPUPPY NEW ONE IS DREAMY
It is stylised as girlpuppy, but it is the project of Becca Harvey, who has release her first single called ‘Champ’, which is a pretty dreamy, melodic slice of indie pop. The video mildly belies the sound, being boxing themed, but it’s sure fun to watch. If you like shoegaze, but not the super derivative…

WE JUST HEARD ABOUT CUMGIRL8
Checking the local listings we saw a band name that we thought was brash and fun. Then, we read an article about Of Montreal doing some gigs in the States and, there they were again – cumgirl8. We had to check them out based on the name and Of Montreal shows, of course. Who are…

PSYCHEDELIC R&B FROM GREENTEA PENG
Greentea Peng has been cutting a groove for psychedelic R&B and now there’s a new single to listen to called ‘One Foot’. If you like R&B that’s left-of-centre, a smidge of jazz and singer songwriter music, you may well find a lot to love here. There’s also fuzz guitars in her back catalogue, so she’s…
