WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
A new album from Looking Suite is as welcome as throwing the windows open in the middle of gorgeous weather, and as we waddle out of Summer and into Autumn, we find ourselves pressing play on ‘Wide Range Dream State’ – the newest long player from our favourite ambient, post-noodle, neo-prog leaning guy. Released on…

TSHA has a new song out called ‘Green’ and its ace! It’s a dancer, but it’s an emotional affair too – just what we like to see! There’s nothing quite like an emotional banger, right? She says: “Me and my partner were in the studio together, about to write something. He was getting on my nerves,…

A little while ago, there was a spate of records and acts that were kinda miserable, but anthemic with it. It wasn’t exactly Grunge 2.0, but emotional lyrics and crunchy guitars were definitely back. One of the better artists from this period was Soccer Mommy, who as it happens, is back with a new song!…

Men I Trust – it’s been a while. The last thing they put out was back in 2021 when they released their ‘Untourable Album’, which went down very well with everyone. Of course, there’s been dribs and drabs, and last year they put out the ace ‘Ring of Past’, but now, they’re back with a…

The Green Child are an Aussie group that went from two members to four (apologies for the old picture, then) and they have a really cool new single out called ‘Wow Factor’ which reminds us of loads of good stuff made by loads of other cool and unique bands. Seriously, we’re into it! There’s a…

Vince Guaraldi’s work with the soundtrack on the Peanuts cartoons is rightly the stuff of legend. Achingly cool and whistleable jazz, bopping away under the utterly charming and razor sharp voice work from the Shultz created characters, which obviously include Snoopy and the mighty Charlie Brown. Re-discovered in the vaults is the somewhat timely ‘You’re…

Allegra Krieger has a new album out called ‘Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine’, and you’ll be able to hear that tomorrow in fact! Below is the final single that preempts it, and it’s really cool. We really liked another single she released in the build-up to this – here – which was a neat…

The presidential race in the USA has a lot hanging on it, for sure, but regardless of that, the whole thing has made for some really good TV. It always does, because one thing the Americans love, is making great television. A thick line has been drawn and either side of it stand two candidates…

A lovely little Detroit one-two here from Babyface Ray, featuring Veeze. Babyface has a new album this week called ‘The Kid That Did’ which we’re looking forward to hearing. In advance, you can listen to ‘Wavy Navy University’, which is a psychedelic take on trap-hop. Big Sean, Pusha T and G Herbo count themselves as…

MUNA are great, have had a number of hot songs, and with that, have seen their popularity rightly grow. The group’s identity have seen them filling a hole in pop culture which has seen a pocket of fans feeling incredibly seen by them, to use the common parlance of the youth. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns…

FAME + CHAPPELL ROAN / BE CAREFUL
Chappell Roan’s rise to fame has been sudden and very interesting. Often, meteoric rises are met with suspicion and chatter about being an industry plant and all that – but for our money, no such thing could be levelled at Roan given her very obvious and striking talent. Add to this, her whole personality is…

GREAT UKRAINIAN COMP / ’71 to ’96
The good folks at Light in the Attic have a brilliant compilation out called ‘Even the Forest Hums: Ukrainian Sonic Archives 1971-1996‘ which looks at the Ukraine music scene from the aforementioned dates – obviously, during this time, the region was under strict Soviet control, so there’s a lot to dig into spiritually too. The…

SPRING SILVER / PRINCE MEETS INDIE
We all love Prince, so any trace of the Purple One’s music is always a treat since he departed. Usually, Prince influence means clean twangy guitars and a falsetto over some digital funk, and it’s not always something that ends in great results because… well… not everyone is able to be Prince, right? No such…

LARRY LEVAN MIX FROM 85
Look, you probably already know that Larry Levan is DJing royalty, a pioneer, a legend and all that good stuff. If you don’t, then you’re in for a treat when you Google his name and look into his history! With that, here’s a killer mix from the Paradise Garage in 1985, which Defected Records shared…
