WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Remember when Alessia Cara burst onto the pop scene with the moody and cool ‘Here’? She was just an itty bitty thing then, but she’s growing musically and it’s a good thing. The new song is called ‘(Isn’t It) Obvious’ and it’s nice to see some brackets in a song title, but more importantly, it’s…

We were watching an old clip of Motorhead playing on Top of the Pops, and that’s a fun thing all by itself… but someone else sprang out at us While the assembled crowd seemed mildly bewildered at the sight of adrenaline filled rock n roll in the studio, to the right of the stage in…

We wrote a glowing review of Rebecca Black’s last album. In one of the finest comebacks in pop, she went from being a reviled meme while a young girl performing the rather wonky ‘Friday’ (which honestly, sounds quite charming in the current climate) to making some of the fiercest, funnest pop on the planet. While…

Here’s our latest radio show, with music from Mexico, Mauritius, Poland, Algeria, Brazil, Germany, Cameroon, new bands, older ones… it’s great

‘Try Me’ by Dej Loaf was one of the best underground hip hop smashes when it was released back in 2014, and other hits followed. However, Dej kinda vanished for a while, quietly slipping away and presumably recalibrating. It seemed that, for all intents and purposes, she was done with The Industry. Well, lately, she’s…

The folk tradition is something that is always alive and well, and concerning The Unthanks, ever more so. Good news then, that they have a new double album coming out called ‘The Unthanks in Winter’. Appropriately you’ll be able to get hold of it and hear it on November 29th and there’s a song you…

Amyl and the Sniffers have a new video out and there’s a lot of nudity in it. It’s the kind of video that, if you’re getting your knickers in a twist about it, then you’re the kind of uptight tool that could probably do with a bit of skinny dipping to sort yourself out. First,…

Who doesn’t love a bit of library funk? Well, the ace folks at Be With are putting out Geoff Bastow’s (library legend) ‘Music To Varnish Owls By’, which honestly, is one of the finest album titles you’re likely to ever hear in your life. Thankfully, the music is every bit as good. This is one…

If you’re a fan of cute indie pop with a twist, you’re in luck. This here, is a new song from Mei Semones and we’re hearing flickers of bossa nova and jazz mixed into her sound. Mei released an EP earlier in the year called ‘Kabutomushi EP’ which regrettably, passed us by. We’re off to…

Look, we don’t know how this is new to us, but here’s a great video of Nirvana – pre Nevermind – playing in a Radio Shack and it’s adorable as hell. What else is left to say? Just watch the video already.

CROWDFUNDER FOR ASHLEY BEEDLE
Ashley Beedle’s involvement with X-Press 2, being namechecked in Daft Punk’s ‘Teachers’, sending Elton John’s ‘Are You Ready For Love?’ to number one, and decades of wonderful, rafters rattling DJ sets means that no-one should be in any doubt that he’s one of the legends of dance music. And when a legend needs your help,…

DANIELLE MOORE, RIP
Aged 52, Danielle Moore the lead singer of Crazy P, has sadly died. Moore’s cause of death has not been shared, and honestly, it’s not our business so we shall do our best to celebrate her life. In a statement posted to Instagram, her fellow bandmates wrote, “We cannot believe the news ourselves and we…

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…
