WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
‘Lord Willin’ is an all-timer of a rap LP, so it is worth getting excited that Pusha T and No Malice have started to roll-out the new stuff for their reunion. There’s a new LP called ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ which, brilliantly, seems to be a Marge Simpson quote. The first new album in over a decade,…
-
Lorde’s new roll-out has been a pretty interesting one, with impromptu parties and such, and now a new song called ‘Man of the Year’, which is emotionally exposing in more than one way in the new video. Of the new LP – ‘Virgin’ – she’s sharing a new video where she throws herself wholeheartedly into…

Look, we know Boiler Room kinda stinks – but when they do it right, they’re one of the best in the business against your better judgement. With that, in what feels like old Internet, giving you something totally unique, regional, and new, Ethiopian Records did a Boiler Room set and it’s an instant classic. New…

When Drugdealer are on form, they’re irresistible. Weyes Blood is one of the finest artists on the planet right now. Add the two together? Magic. Of course, this is not the first collaboration between these two things, but this new track is a welcome return from some time out for both, and Weyes Blood is…

August 29th sees a new album from pastoral post rockers, Modern Nature, and the long player goes by the name of ‘The Heat Warps’. You can hear a track from it which is called ‘Pharaoh’, and with a kneejerk reaction granted, it sounds like a career best from the project, although they’d be loathed to…
-
Saint Etienne have always been into interesting collaborations, from teaming up with Tim Burgess for a Christmas single, to Monkey Mafia remixes and more! With their latest release, they’re doing more of the same! They have a new LP called ‘International’ and from it, you can listen to a track called ‘Glad’, which features Tom…

Everything we’ve heard from the imminent Yaya Bey album has been great, so this is a further call for you to be ready for the release of ‘Do It Afraid’, which is coming out June 20th. We think it’ll be one of the R&B albums of 2025. Don’t wait for someone else to get you…

Pearl Charles is one of our favourite artists and we’ve featured her on this site before and countless playlists, from the burning-hot disco of ‘Only For Tonight’ to the recent Lauren Canyon gorgeousness meets Muscle Shoals soul of ‘Step Too Far’. A hugely talented song-writer, Charles will be playing some live shows in the UK…

Alison Goldfrapp’s about to release her second solo LP, which is called ‘Flux’, and if you’re hoping that she’s rediscovered her love of kinky glam synthpop, then you are absolutely in luck. The new song is exactly that! Now, don’t get us wrong – she’s not just wheeling out the old sound for clout –…
-
We have to admit that we didn’t listen to any Yeasayer, but they called it quits and co-honcho Anand Wilder decided to make music under his own name. On the strength of the new single, perhaps we ought to revisit his former group? After some solo releases, in 2025, we’re looking at ‘Appointment in Samarra’,…

REST EASY, EVELYN THOMAS
Disco and Hi NRG legend, Evelyn Thomas, has sadly passed away at the fine age of 70. Chicago born, she had a huge hit with the utterly magical dancefloor powerhouse, ‘High Energy’ – one of the hallmark tracks that ushered in a new era for disco music and clubland. DJ and producer Ian Levine said:…

FLOATING POINTS ACID TRIBUTE TO MANC RADIO?
Floating Points is from Manchester, so we couldn’t help but notice that their new song shares the name with an old radio station from the city. People of a certain again will remember Piccadilly Key 103, so the fact that this is called ‘Key103’ will fill them with a fizzy nostalgia. Very nice. Of course,…
