WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We don’t know the work of Emily Sprague, of Florist, but apparently she’s taken a left turn. Whatever is happening, we like it! She’s said that her new single ‘Double Moon’ “marks the beginning exploration of a previously uncharted map for me – the realms that combine my modular synthesizer work and my singing/songwriting.” It’s…
-
Well, it is finally official! There’s a new Boards of Canada album coming out with a release date, new artwork, song titles and EVERYTHING. Yeah, that’s right. The album is called ‘Inferno’, and is out May 29th, and it’s entirely new music after weeks of mystery and speculation, all kicked off with some VHS cassettes…
-
Kacey Musgraves is readying her sixth LP – ‘Middle of Nowehere’ – after releasing the very tongue-in-cheek ‘Dry Spell’ which had one of the best ‘Yup!’ deliveries we’ve heard anywhere, she’s now given us another track to whet the whistle. The new album is not far away, landing on May 1st, and the artwork and…
-
Have you heard of Anna’s Archive? Well, it was a project that mirrored libraries from streaming services. You might say they were like a library, trying to preserve all the recorded music, via Bit Torrents. That’s what they said, and it all wasn’t readily searchable from your average internet user either. Of course, there’s no…
-
If you like your Lo-Fi rock ‘n’ roll to have flashes of early Kinks and Garage Punk, then you probably need to get on board with Australian group, The Gnomes, who like fuzzy guitars mixed with actual songwriting rather than simple yelling. Now that we’re averse to yelling, mind you. The band will release a…
-
Geese shot to fame seemingly overnight, which can only mean one thing – we must don our tinfoil hats and assume something is up. Or at least, that’s what the vibe is currently amongst the chattering indie classes, who think this must be some ‘industry plant’ thing going on, or in one instance, that the…

Madonna promised that she’d be leading us back to the club (where you can dance – for inspiration, c’mon!) when she said a sequel to the mighty Confessions of a Dancefloor was coming our way. Well, now it is totally official, with ‘Confessions II’ getting released on July 3rd. And there’s a teaser to whet…
-
Well, we told you that Boards of Canada had started dropping clues, and now it seems official that they are indeed back, having uploaded a video to their official channels (as have Warp Records) simply called ‘Tape 5’. The clip is similar to the VHS cassettes that had been sent to a select few, except…
-
We’re new to Spacemoth and on the strength of the new track, we’ve been missing out! Spacemoth is actually Maryam Qudus who is out on the West Coast of the US, and is a producer as well as a fine musician. There’s a new album coming out called ‘Inward Eye’ which you can get stuck into…
-
Jasmín is new to us, but we’re always in the market for some heavy techno and dancefloor action, and her new track ‘It’s Girls Night’ caught our attention, being all deep and sophisticated as it is. She’s released this with Fabric Originals and the release – with other tracks we think – will get a…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

NIRVANA PLAY IN A RADIO SHACK
Look, we don’t know how this is new to us, but here’s a great video of Nirvana – pre Nevermind – playing in a Radio Shack and it’s adorable as hell. What else is left to say? Just watch the video already.
-
WHAT OF THE DOUBLE LP?
Sometimes, someone does the work for us and all we have to do is simply point you in the direction of it. In this instance, it’s an interesting enough video (which has pretty protestant tastes, but we’ll let it slide) about the death of the double album. Now, there are 2xLPs in existence now, but…

CHRISSIE HYNDE DOESN’T GIVE A SINGLE FUCK
After saying that she wasn’t bothered about the prestige of a needless arena tour, Chrissie Hynde is brilliantly speaking her mind again because she doesn’t give a fuck. We say that as a compliment. Now, Hynde has got under the skins of some wet-wipes this week because she’s asked fans not to continually command the…

NEW PANDA BEAR
‘Reset’ with Panda Bear and Sonic Boom was very warmly received by the psychedelic heads. Good news is that Panda Bear is back with new music, this time with ‘Defense’ featuring Cindy Lee. This is part of a new LP called ‘Sinister Grift;, which is coming out in February with the mighty Domino Records. Co-pro’d…
