WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

  • KEN BRUCE & POPMASTER ARE BACK

    We all love PopMaster, and if you’re not that aware of it, it’s probably because you’re super young and haven’t listened to live radio once in your life – that’s fine and all, but you’ve been missing out. See, Ken Bruce and his lovely, lovely voice have been testing people’s musical knowledge for years and…

  • KAYTRANADA & AMINÉ

    Kaytranada and Aminé are a match made in heaven really, so it’s nice that they’re teaming up again (they’ve worked with each other a bunch before) on a project called KAYTRAMINÉ. Initially, we heard about this via a video on Instagram where their names are being presented on a lovely, orange MPC looking thing. Then, there was…

  • DRAKE SEEMINGLY GOADS KANYE WITH KIM SAMPLE AND WE’RE SO TIRED

    Kanye West is game for dunking on at every opportunity, which in part is richly deserved, but also really depressing. The man needs to be accountable for the things he says and does, but jesus, it’s rotten watching someone be so very ill in public. With that, along comes cringebag no.1, Drake. He shared a…

  • FREE RANGE TRACKLIST APRIL 23

  • COSMIC COUNTRY POP FROM JENNY LEWIS

    Cosmic country pop? Like Gram Parsons but with a will to actually sell some records? Big claim that, but fuck it, let’s go with it. We’re talking about Jenny Lewis, who is a bit of a legend in certain circles, and who has a most excellent wardrobe (stop pretending that this isn’t a thing that…

  • KISS ARE AT EACH OTHER’S ELDERLY THROATS AGAIN

    It’s funny that ageing rockers bemoan the thin-skins of the yoof, while acting like petulant babies all the time, throwing their toys out of the pram and indulging in very ugly, public, hilarious spats. Just look at Pink Floyd. A very dignified set of old men there. With that, we turn our attentions to KISS.…

  • WHICH BAND DOES KEANU LOVE?

    Keanu Reeves is everyone’s non-problematic fave and generally seems like a good dude. Great face too, if we’re still objectifying people in 2023. You can imagine he’s got a half decent and very sizeable record collection, right? His house is probably dead nice. And we’re only mentioning Wyld Stallyns now to say that we won’t…

  • APRIL FOOL’S DAY

    We’re not bothering with anything like here, don’t worry. Everything you read today is just a normal story. However, that said, now we’ve drawn attention to it you might think we’ve completely made up our imminent Keanu Reeves piece up, when we haven’t. He’s just that nice.

  • BLUE LIGHTS FROM JAYDA G NOT TO BE MISSED

    She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

  • FRIPP & TOYAH HEAVILY FEATURING BREASTS, FOR THE CAUSE

    It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…

STOP HOARDING TUNES


  • 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…

  • NEW RADIO SHOW IS UP

    If you’re interested in our sister radio show – FREE RANGE – it is published an online and features great music new and old, including some of the music we’ve covered and reviewed on these very pages. There’ll be music from The Junipers, Nick Waters (LP review here), some cosmic country, some hidden gems, and…

  • CORDAE + ANDERSON PAAK

    Look – not all music needs to be deep. Sometimes, you just want something that sounds summery as the month you’re in, and that’s exactly what we’ve got with this new one from Cordae and Anderson .Paak. It’s a backpackish affair, but not in that conservative, boring way – it’s just a soulful jam session…

  • NEW AMYL + THE SNIFFERS, LIKE

    Are Amyl & The Sniffers punk? Are they something else? Does it matter? No. They’re back though and have things to say and noisy guitars, so strap in. They’ve got a new LP coming out – the first in three years – and it is called ‘Cartoon Darkness’. There’s a new single to listen to…
