WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Latto’s ‘Sunday Service’ is now an all-star affair now there’s a redo with the million selling Megan Thee Stallion and the mighty Flo Milli. As you’re expect, it’s a huge club ready clunky beat and firebrand cockiness on the mic from all three. An uber charismatic affair as you can imagine. It’s not a game-changer
-
The third Electric Pendergrass album has dropped, with more vaporwave-ish synth wibbles and obscure mining of soft breaks and bits. This new one, available to download for free (or at any price you fancy throwing into the hat if you’re feeling generous), is only available from Bandcamp, so if you’re waiting for Spotify, don’t hold
-
De La Soul have had their fair share of troubles when it comes to the songs they’ve sampled, who owns their back catalogue and all that murky stuff. It seems that there’s some wiggle room at long last, and now they’re able to enjoy their body of work that they’ve created. With that, there’s a

We’re generally not that fussed about Caribou, but you might like them and Dan Snaith seems like a nice fella, so here’s the news of a new single for you to listen to. It’s a sprightly affair and goes by the name of ‘Broke My Heart’. We’ve just looked into it and it seems there

Yune Pinku makes some of the best house adjacent bops around right now, and she’s done a remixes for the super hot talent Rachel Chinouriri, which is a bit of a dream match-up honestly. Pinku features on a lot of our end-of-year lists and Chinouriri is someone we’re keeping an eye on, so if that’s
-
We’re still really into the fact that there’s a musical outfit called Illuminati Hotties. What a fantastic thing to have people saying in record stores and the like. The fact it is one person is even better. Anyway, she’s announced her new LP called ‘Power’ which will be out in August and there’s a new

Nadine Shah has confirmed that she’s NOT playing at Glastonbury this year, which isn’t particularly interesting news in of itself. However, their reasons for doing so, is. She’s said that it’s too expensive to play at as an artist. She tweeted: “The rumours are untrue. I am NOT playing @glastonbury I would have liked to

Confidence Man are just about the most fun group on the planet, bringing back the campness of ’90s clubland and handbag and gyrating through live shows with light-up bras and spitting blood – they really deserve to be so much bigger than they are, and honestly, they’re packing out big ol’ rooms so it all

How much does it cost to put an album out? Let’s assume, for the sake of this article, that you’re focusing solely on streaming and that physical format production is a luxury most independent bands can’t afford in this cost of living crisis we’re all currently in. Okay, good. Making an album probably seems incredibly

Candie Payne’s ‘I Wish I Could Have Loved You More’ was one of the best albums of the Noughties, melding pop with ace ’60s girl group pop and noirish spy flick moodiness. These days, Candie is making art of a different stripe, but we’ve kept playing tracks like ‘All I Need To Hear’ and the

THEPOPCORPS WAS INTO LEMUR MUSIC BEFORE IT WAS BIG
There’s been a study undertaken that could show how humans first started getting into music as a species, and we were into it first. The study suggests that Madagascan lemurs used music for a variety of purposes, which could give insight in how humans evolved into creating music, but we prefer the early stuff. Co-author…

Look, we don’t quite know what’s happening but we’ll share the news all the same. On Brian Wilson’s Instagram page, it basically says that coming this Friday, is ‘Ding Dang’. We had a little search on Google for ‘Brian Wilson Ding Dang’, and all it came up with was a link to his website which sadly…

ALLEGRA KREIGER’S COUNTRY INFUSED INDIE
Allegra Krieger is new to us, so we won’t pretend we know loads about her and just crib notes from other websites like we do. All we know is that there’s a new single out called ‘Never Arriving’ and its a kind of country tinged indie rock that sounds pretty cool. There’s been releases before,…

POSTHUMOUS SOPHIE LP
