WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Wings fans are in for a treat! There’s a new book coming out, officially in tandem with Paul McCartney, and filled with ace photos and drawn from over 500,000 words, based on dozens of hours of interviews with Macca and key figures in the Wings universe. The book is called ‘Wings: The Story of a

While the headline says it all, we really should pretend to give you some value for money by adding some words in the main body of the article. Cactus Lee’s new song is fun though, and there’ll be a self titled LP coming in March too. Elsewhere, he’s said the album is: “a reflection on
-
A new album comprised of silent music has been released to protest against changes in copyright law, regarding AI. There’s some big hitters on it too, including Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and Damon Albarn, as well as Billy Ocean, Tori Amos, Hans Zimmer, and loads more. You can’t hear them of course, but still. Also

They call themselves a Flowerkraut Collective, because inventing genres for yourself is fun, but its a pretty handy Post-It for what the group are trying to achieve – an embellished, psychedelic rock that swerves between global psychedelia, German Kosmiche, and a whiff of Library electronics. A sprawling array of members that sometimes reaches double-digits, the

Do you remember in 2021, when STOMP STOMP CLAP stadium folk group Mumford & Sons were thrown into disarray after it turned out one of their members was a bit fashy? Winston (Aubrey Aladar deBalkan) Marshall praised a book by Andy Ngo which was deemed ‘supremely dishonest’ in its criticisms of the anti-fascist movement, and
-
For fans of R&B, and soul music infused with jazz and classical, Roberta Flack was one of the greatest to ever do it. She had hits with Killing Me Softly, and the utterly gorgeous The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, as well as the wonderful Feel Like Makin’ Love which would be covered
-
They were called Girl Band, and changed their name to Gilla Band. And that wraps up the back story and mandatory SEO stuff so that we hopefully appear on various search engines. Alan Duggan Borges from Gilla Band has a new thing, and it sounds good! This new project is called The Null Club and
-
Have you been missing the sounds of indie sleaze and electro clash? Do you still wish you were drinking bottles of Moscow Mules and seeing girls in oversized belts over short skirts? Well, you better listen to the new one from Sextile. With brash synths, shouted verses and 808s, you’ll be firing up Spotify to
-
Those who were lucky enough to hear the music made by Bill Fay, were changed forever. Sadly for Bill, he never quite got his flowers and now, as we’re faced with his passing, we’re once again wishing more and more people knew how wonderful he was. A statement from his label, says: “Bill was a

Neil Young has teased a full UK tour (and Europe, and the US) this year, and god knows how much tickets are going to end up being, but still! Talking to his Neil Young Archives site, he yelled ‘Join us in the SUMMER OF DEMOCRACY’, before adding that there’s going to be a proper announcement of some

DOECHII NEW ONE SLAPS
Doechii has called herself a number of things over the years – the one we like best is “the trap Grace Jones” – and if that’s piqued your interest, shall we get onto the lovely business of a new record to listen to? She’s got a new one out called ‘Nissan Altima’, which to the…

UPPERS ONLY FROM CONFIDENCE MAN (AGAIN)
It is kinda funny that Charli XCX announced BRAT SUMMER when Confidence Man have been acting up for ages now, sneering and partying like the world might end tomorrow. With that, they’ve got a new song out called ‘SO WHAT’ which is the usual mixture of pouting and hedonism which is difficult to pull off…
-
BLESSED MADONNA BOP
After a well advised name-change, The Blessed Madonna has a new track out and it sounds like a weekend banger to us. It is called ‘Godspeed’ and features DJ E-Clyps. Very nice. The Blessed Madonna will be releasing her first full length LP and that’ll drop in October so we’ve a while to wait yet.…

CHRISSIE HYNDE NOT BOTHERED BY PRESTIGE
Y’know, it is nice to hear someone who has been there and done it, say that they’re not bothered by a lot of the trappings that comes with being a big ticket road dog. Chrissie Hynde and her Pretenders have forged a very successful career for decades now, so it’s not like she doesn’t know…
