WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

For years, Neil Young’s ‘On The Beach’ was something of a forgotten classic and it took an age to see a proper reissue. When it did, everyone updated their internal lists of which Neil Young LPs they liked the best, because it really is one of his finest works. Well, it’s getting a do-over again,…

We’ve spotted a great book that you’ll want or will start dropping heavy hints in the run-up to Christmas – it’s called ‘Acid House As It Happened’ and its a beautiful document of the boom of rave that happened in the late ’80s. By Dave Swindells, it’s filled with photos from Future and Shoom taken…

Fans of The Cure probably already heard this, but whatever. They’ve been teasing something new for a couple of weeks and now, there’s a new song to listen to and news of an album. The LP will be called ‘Songs of a Lost World’ and you imagine there’ll be a tour to go with it.…

Composer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith has teamed up with the ever loveable Joe Goddard from Hot Chip and good things are happening. It is taking the form of a new EP called ‘Neptunes’ which will be out in November. As ever, we’ve got something for you to listen to so you’re not just sat there wondering…

Check this great sounding thing out – there’s a new documentary called ‘Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland’s Girl Bands’, which will look at some of the all-female groups that have come from Scotland over the last half a century. Of course, Scotland has had loads of great groups and many of them sorely…

A lot of shoegaze can be a little deferential to the late ’80s/early ’90s sound, which is nice and all, but it is better when someone puts something of a new twist on it. And so to Texas, with the group Trauma Ray who have a new song out called ‘Spectre’ which switches from the…

Hey! We’ve done our latest radio show and it features some great new music that you may or may not have heard on these very pages before. Almost certainly you haven’t heard all of it though. We think we’ve found the new Arthur Russell – how about that for a bold claim? Old stuff, new…

Willie Nelson’s career has been a broad and interesting one, so maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that at 91 years young, he’s decided to release a cover version of The Flaming Lips’ ‘Do You Realize?’ from ‘Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots’. That’s exactly what’s happened in the lead-up to his release of ‘Last Leaf on…

We’re pretty excited about the new album from Fievel Is Glauque. Their mix of ’60s jazz pop and gonzo psychedelic electronics is a thing that makes our ears fizz with excitement! They’ve got a brand new song out called ‘Love Weapon’ and it is out right now on Fat Possum. Obviously, it’ll feature on the…
