WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

We wrote a very enthusiastic review of the newest album from Bad Bunny, and honestly, that giddiness has only grown in the time since then. Well, he’s put a great little band together and he’s done a Tiny Desk show for NPR, and honestly, it’s an instant classic. Get stuck in.

Welcome to a new sporadic feature where we let interesting and cool people tell us what they’re listening to, what makes them tick, and what they love about certain records. 10 songs that mean something to someone you’ll be interested in – as easy as that. Imagine going back to someone’s house after the pub…

When you think of Florida, you generally think of messy, silly things and some dodgy retirees in golf buggies. Of course, there’s so much more to the area than simply being America’s wang. There’s good music down there. From Jacksonville, there’s SAILORR, who has a fair amount of buzz around them at the minute, thanks…

He’s based in the UK, but Nigerian born, Obongjayar – who is new to us – has announced a new record called ‘Paradise Now’, which we’ll all be able to hear in May. ‘Sweet Danger’ is the name of the new track, and honestly, whatever we were expecting from looking at a thumbnail, this ain’t…

He’s one of the hardest lyricists on the planet, with almost unmatched wordplay for the most part, and with that, has come a legend cemented in the underground. He’s not likely to trouble a Top 40, but that’s not Aesop Rock’s M.O., so that’s fine. There’s a new track from a new album to listen…

One of outsider folk’s greatest, Michael Hurley, has passed away aged 83. The sad news was confirmed by his family. Hurley was an influence on a host of artists and responsible for some of the greatest slices of American freak-country ever recorded. In a statement to Rolling Stone, they said: “It is with a resounding sadness…

Remember us telling you that we thought WU LYF were coming back? Turns out they were. And if you like them, then there’s a new song to listen to and… well… a lot of words to read. We’ll get to that. This is their first new song in a decade, after the LP ‘Go Tell…

Former Kraftwerker, Wolfgang Flür, was all excited that he’d done a track with Daft Punk‘s Thomas Bangalter. However, like many older people online, he was tricked by someone in the DMs. Poor old Wolfgang. He’d been teasing as such, for his latest LP ‘Times’, where he said that Thomas was working with Flür under a pseudonym…

Hey! Happy Monday to you. If you’ve been appreciating how summer is drawing nearer and the weather generally feels a bit warmer and nicer, then you’re probably going to like the new one from tuneful rapper Aminé. The track is called ‘Familiar’, and has echoes of the music he made with KAYTRANADA as KAYTRAMINÉ. Of…

Lael Neale makes interesting music, and she has a new one out called ‘Down On The Freeway’. Apparently, it is about LA, and of course, you can’t talk about that place without talking about the roads around it. It’s got a brutalist, minimal drum machine, but it is a pretty low-key affair, with a really…

LONGPLAYER WITH THAT 70S GOOD GOOD
It seems that there’s a bit of a cottage industry around Drugdealer, where anyone related to them in any way is putting out sepia-toned ’70s pop, which is obviously a good thing. Are the returns a wholesale great thing? We dunno, but it’s always worth tuning in for honestly, given the strength of the second…

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…
