WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you speak Welsh, ‘Y Gath’ is just ‘the cat’, but it is also the title of a new song from Gwenno who hails from Cardiff (and daughter of a Cornish poet, so that’s Celtic Squared). The track is from the forthcoming ‘Utopia’ LP, which is out on Heavenly next week. It features H Hawkline

Turnstile are just about the biggest punk group on the planet right now, and it seems like there’s still swathes of rock fans who haven’t cottoned on to this fact yet – and maybe that’s how the punks are going to enjoy it, because after today, they’re going to be absolutely everywhere whether they like
-
We like pop music, and we like it when it’s made by bands (we also like it when it has been made by a pop factory, we’re not being like that) and that’s what we’ve found with the new single from Yumi Zouma. It’s pop, but stripped down a bit, but anthemic and a whole

If there’s anybody in the whole world of music we wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of, it is Pusha T. There’s nobody with an aim truer than King Push, and besides, he seems to genuinely not give a single fuck what anyone thinks. He’s Teflon. Speaking to GQ, he spoke about Kanye.
-
It may have been released in February, but the chances of English readers being all. Over Biche’s magnificent album are slim, and an album doesn’t need to be fresh off the grill to get excited about. Fact is, it’s so hard to make original music in 2025, that when a band arrives that sound like

For fans of ’60s psychedelic rock, the Electric Prunes were always one of the more unique and brilliant groups. Their ‘Underground’ LP captured the eeriness of the West Coast counter-culture scene of the time, and their music endured. From ‘Get Me To The World On Time’ and ‘I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night’,

We have waxed lyrical about the music of Cheapskate before, and with the new single, we’re going to do it all over again. Cheapskate’s music is everything that you love about noirish Brit jazz, ’70s library music and now, with all the sun-soaked bliss of Mediterranean funk and analogue synth bits. ‘The Sea’ is smooth
-
The term ‘scream queen’ gets thrown around a lot, and often semi-unfairly – but there’s no denying the fact that anyone who stumbled out of seeing ‘In A Violent Nature’ knew that, in Andrea Pavlovic, there was a real talent afoot. The emotional maturity which she met such a grisly task, it isn’t surprising that
-
For all of the ills of YouTube and it’s relentless algorithm meddling, it’s still one of the best platforms for independent creators doing great things. This video is a mix of some pals hanging out, eating food, free styling, singing, playing tracks and generally being good for the soul. You need to press play on

Andy Shauf is in a band called Foxwarren and they’ve got a new song out called ‘Deadhead’, and like most things involving Shauf, it’s power-poppy, catchy, fun and all that good stuff. However, you NEED to see the video for the new track because it’s a slice of real oddball silliness. Almost like a Tim

ILLUMINATI HOTTIES NEW ALBUM
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 BACK, BABY!
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…
