WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Honey Gentry makes some of the coolest, dreamiest pop on the planet, so just as spring is trying to fight it’s way out of our second winter, we’re treated to a new song which aches of sunnier days. ‘Mykonos’ is out today on your favourite platform and is a breathy, lighter than air number to…

No music genre ever really goes away, but when there’s a blossoming of interest, it’s always worth keeping an eye on those artists within who are keeping things moving and interesting. And so, to Logic1000 who is making some of the coolest house music on the planet right now – experimental in places, but accessible…

There’s a new track from Brian Eno, who you’ll know as That Guy From Roxy Music or Ambient Man. It’s called ‘All I Remember’ and you might not need more information than this, so head to the bottom of the page to press play. For those that like reading, this track is about some of…
-
There’s something of a drum ‘n’ bass resurgence afoot, going back to it’s gritty realism after a lot of… well… Chase & Status stadiumstep. With that, Nia Archives who is waiting to drop their full length debut album next month (‘Silence Is Loud’, for the record) has released a single which reminds us of classic…

There’s so many things to love about Kacey Musgraves. She was one of the few who made country that felt genuinely modern and progressive, in a sea of pretty chewy stadium country, and with her peers, she mined a more reflective, cosmic, liberal country without painting her views in such gaudy, broad strokes, that it…

Bob James is cool. We all know that. When the GZA sampled ‘Nautilus’ for Ghostface’s ‘Daytona 500′, he knew Bob James was cool. Of course, Bob James’ ‘Angela’ is one of the coolest TV theme tunes of all time, as anyone who watched Taxi will testify. So, with that, we stumbled across a super cool…

We can’t know everything, so we haven’t previously heard of Fabiana Palladino. We’re going to assume there’s a relation to bass legend Pino Palladino here, but seeing as Pino is a cool guy, we’re not going to go down the nepo route. We get to be hypocritical about these things when we like what we’re…

Munster Records don’t half put out some gems, and we’re alerting you to one absolute belter from their catalogue! It’s called ‘Sabroso Go Go’ and, as a whole group, kinda defies pigeonholing, but it’s all super fun and unique! Music from Peru – especially the MAG label – is always worth your time. The label…

L’Impératrice are brilliant and pretty much everything they do is that brand of irresistible, smoother than silk, French disco pop. It brings us great joy to say that the new song they’ve quietly put out is exactly that. Now, there’s not a proper video for it yet – only a lyric video – but it…

Recife is the hidden gem in Brazil’s musical heritage. While Rio and Salvador get all the critical praise, Pernambuco has a wealth of super interesting music, with shape-shifting acid folk, gonzo rock, and now we’re looking toward Amaro Freitas who manages to combine that rural and rugged sound with sophisticated metropolitan goodness to make for…

OBLIG OASIS ARTICLE
Oasis have got back together and that’s great/terrible news. Millions of people have reacted to the shock reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher with unadulterated joy/weariness as the pair set about assembling a group for some live shows which are sure to be epic/a massive letdown. Of course, Oasis are responsible for some of the…

YAEJI WITH ANOTHER BANGER
Yaeji’s hyperactive electronic pop can veer in all directions, but we’re very glad to report that the new one is aimed squarely at the dancefloor and phasers are seemingly set to ‘banger‘. The new track is called ‘booboo’ and, after moving away from clubland, it seems they’re back at it and taking names and numbers…

GUIDE / COSMIC COUNTRY ALBUMS
Niche genres are a silly thing music fans and record collectors love to indulge. Even if you can settle on the specifics of these genres, you then get to the meat and potatoes of pointlessly ranking things. We’re not going to rank them here, even though we were tempted to in a lousy bid to…

HEARD ABOUT GINGER ROOT?
Ever find yourself in this situation? You think you’ve stumbled across someone amazing that no-one else is on, you go to follow them on Instagram and see everyone’s already on it? You preemptively thought about letting everyone in on a new and exciting thing to find out that they may well end up thinking ‘about…
