WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Pop’s best You Can’t Sit With Us pair, Coco + Clair Clair are back with a new album after dropping the achingly cool ‘Aggy’ [listen here] which cements their place as one of the more unique acts to hail from Atlanta. With their to-the-minute slang, they’re snarking again and saying “delulu” and, while those would…

If you’re interested in our sister radio show – FREE RANGE – it is published an online and features great music new and old, including some of the music we’ve covered and reviewed on these very pages. There’ll be music from The Junipers, Nick Waters (LP review here), some cosmic country, some hidden gems, and…

Look – not all music needs to be deep. Sometimes, you just want something that sounds summery as the month you’re in, and that’s exactly what we’ve got with this new one from Cordae and Anderson .Paak. It’s a backpackish affair, but not in that conservative, boring way – it’s just a soulful jam session…

Are Amyl & The Sniffers punk? Are they something else? Does it matter? No. They’re back though and have things to say and noisy guitars, so strap in. They’ve got a new LP coming out – the first in three years – and it is called ‘Cartoon Darkness’. There’s a new single to listen to…

Godspeed You! Black Emperor – everyone’s noisiest gig they’ve been too – are back with a new album soon, and it has a typically awkward ame for the time being, which is comforting. We don’t want GY!BE being all cuddly, do we? Not one bit. This new album is titled “NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340…

Oasis have got back together and that’s great/terrible news. Millions of people have reacted to the shock reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher with unadulterated joy/weariness as the pair set about assembling a group for some live shows which are sure to be epic/a massive letdown. Of course, Oasis are responsible for some of the…

Yaeji’s hyperactive electronic pop can veer in all directions, but we’re very glad to report that the new one is aimed squarely at the dancefloor and phasers are seemingly set to ‘banger‘. The new track is called ‘booboo’ and, after moving away from clubland, it seems they’re back at it and taking names and numbers…

Niche genres are a silly thing music fans and record collectors love to indulge. Even if you can settle on the specifics of these genres, you then get to the meat and potatoes of pointlessly ranking things. We’re not going to rank them here, even though we were tempted to in a lousy bid to…

Ever find yourself in this situation? You think you’ve stumbled across someone amazing that no-one else is on, you go to follow them on Instagram and see everyone’s already on it? You preemptively thought about letting everyone in on a new and exciting thing to find out that they may well end up thinking ‘about…

We don’t know much about Nicole Miglis, but we’ve heard some hype. Now, hype can be a terrible, terrible thing – but it also sometimes just means that people are excited about something new, so lets lean into the latter and go with the good flow shall we? Miglis has a new LP tomorrow which…

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,…
