WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Norwegian group, Pip Blom, have always know their way around a tune, and now, the gentle jangle has made way for an electronic, quasi-Balearic chug, which is perfect for this time of year honestly. Taken from the Grip EP, ‘Ring’ chugs along very nicely and it seems that they have opened themselves up to a part of…

No, this isn’t bait – gifted MC Leikeli47 told everyone a while ago that she would be removing the mask and just being herself for the next stage of her career. She’s done exactly that in the release of the new track from the new LP. The new album is called ‘Lei Keli ft. 47 /…

New band time! They’re called Düül Suns which, with a name like that, you’d expect to be a bunch with a decent record collection or something, including some experimental German music from the ’70s. Well, these are a bunch of lads from New York and while it’s not space music, it is psychedelic. A bit…

Nu Jazzers BADBADNOTGOOD are back, and once again we’re pleased to announce, they’re noodling. It’s a groovy affair and if you already like the group, you’re not going to be disappointed here. They’ve teamed up with singer VCR, who says: “This is more than a song to me – it’s a milestone.” Big talk. We…

It might feel a bit on the nose, what with her surname being ‘Haha’, but Gelli Haha wants to remind you that, despite all the ills of the world, you’re still allowed to have fun, dance in your underpants at home, and that giddy pop dance music is still on the menu. Now, it’s not…

Alison Goldfrapp is one of our most cherished artists, from her work with Orbital in the ’90s, to being a one-woman Electro Glam stomper, to dancefloor queen and witchy, pagan folkie too! She’s just terrific. The good news is that she’s got a new LP coming out in August and it is called ‘Flux’. The…

We genuinely think there’s an argument for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony being the most underrated hip hop group ever. Hugely popular of course, and massively influential, but they’re criminally overlooked in a lot of Hall of Fame chat, for our money. In better news, they’ve just released a new single called ‘Aww Shit’, and even better is…

We’re not trying to be That Guy by getting excited about a DJ playing vinyl and mixing manually, but it is a treat when someone does a cool set the old way. There’s nothing wrong with the USB stick crew, but allow us to feel nostalgic. With that, we just finished listening to a brilliant,…

We’re forever rooting for Kacey Musgraves as she’s just about the freshest voice in country music at the moment, and seemingly is unafraid to march to the sound of her own drum, where a lot of other country musicians bind themselves with musical conservatism. Well, Kacey has signed to Lost Highway Records which has relaunched,…

We have been incredibly lazy when it comes to reminding ourselves to share the tracklisting from the FREE RANGE radio show. We plain forgot that it was a piece of admin we used to do, until we were reminded by a listener. So with that, here’s the latest show for May 2025, featuring a lot…

NEW CHEEKY BANGER FROM HONEY DIJON
Sometimes, what you really need is an uplifting, catchy, poppy House track to lift your spirits and your mood. One of the finest purveyors of this kind of thing is the legendary Honey Dijon, who has donned her producer hat with a gem of a new track. She’s releasing a new album, aptly called ‘Nightlife’,…

MIXCLOUD ROUND-UP MARCH
Here’s the first in what promises to be a sporadic round-up of some of the best shows that have cropped up on Mixcloud. We’re not on the payroll, but we’re hard-pressed to find a better platform for true music lovers sharing their radio shows and mixes for free for those who need ’em. There’s a…

HEAVY PSYCH FROM THE JUNIPERS
We have already played the new, brilliant track from The Junipers on our radio show. If you tuned in, you’ll know just how fabulous it is to have the greatest band in the world making music again. If you didn’t, don’t worry. The Leicester band have released a video for ‘When She Turns’. The group…

LA SÉCURITÉ DANCE-PUNK
We don’t know how we stumbled across the music of La Sécurité, but we did and played them on our latest radio show, not knowing that there was new music coming out – which it totally is, and we have some to share right here! The Canadian group make an infectious, post-punk-but-danceable racket, and have…
