WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ continues to be wildly prolific and equally enigmatic as each year rolls on, providing music that is somehow purer than the driven snow and a little bewildering and unsettling. If that ain’t the most perfect encapsulation of how weird things are at the moment, we don’t know what is. With

The latest radio show we do is here. We do it every month and have listeners from all over the world, and when people tell us they’ve been listening, it keeps us going honestly. It is nice to put nice things into the world, and shine a light on records that might not get too

Aurora and Tom Rowlands from the Chemical Brothers have teamed up as Tomora, which means new music and some small shows, which is very fun! Aurora has collaborated with the Chems before, but this is a brand new project. The new record is coming out set for release on April 17th and is called ‘COME CLOSER’. “This

Record Store Day is not what it used to be, but whether it’s been overrun by the worst of the music biz, it still puts a lot of money in the tills of independent record shops, and that’s always a good thing, right? So, with that, let’s have a look at the releases that are

Adam Neely is one of the best essayists on music theory and music culture around today, and this week, he’s tackled the thorny issue of artificial intelligence. If you genuinely care about what comes next, have 90 minutes to spare, and want to know about tech capitalism, the links with fascist ideology, technology, why A.I.

Every so often, a band gets a tonne of interest from the chatter of the editorial classes that have their rent paid for them by their parents in extortionately expensive cities, and we all have to put up with it. While recessions ensure that culture springs up in the rest of a country, the would-be

The reappraisal of The Style Council has been a lovely thing to see, and now they’re getting the deluxe treatment on their records, that means previously unreleased gems are afoot. The album getting some love is ‘Cafe Blue’, and one of the treats from this expanded version is a longer version of the single ‘The

If you like your psychedelic music to be fuzzy and heavy, then you need to get on the new track from Earth Tongue. They’re going to release a new album – their third – and it is produced by Ty Segall. It will be called ‘Dungeon Vision’, and the track we’re sharing here is called

James Blake has returned with some new music, namely, the first single from the new album ‘Trying Times’, which is landing on shelves digital or otherwise on March 13th. The new song is called ‘Death of Love’, which he performs live in the new video for it. Look, with names like those, they’re not going

In all honesty, we don’t know much about the rapper who calls himself Sideshow, but we just heard a new track from them and we thought it was pretty interesting. Do you call it indie-hip hop? Whatever it is, it isn’t rage rap, trapcentric or a Golden Era throwback, which means he’s making music in

RICO NASTY REDISCOVERS HER SOUND
Many artists move toward the glitz and glamour while chasing the dream – but Rico Nasty’s time in California saw her wondering if she’d lost sight of what she was good at – notably, trap hip hop that’s designed to be played loud. “Shout out to the DMV for that eight count – we listened…

BEE GEES’ BEATLE MEDLEY
With the Beatles Anthology out, we’ve been on a Fab Four kick. While there’s few who have done it better, the Bee Gees are right up there with them and perhaps deserve their own Anthology series. With that in mind, we stumbled across a clip of the Bee Gees doing a medley on the Midnight…

REVIEW / FRUIT TONES / EASY PEELERS
When a band employs a back-to-basics rock ‘n’ roll sound, for the most part these days, you’ll see kids in thin jeans, mouthing off about ver hippies and acting like they’re the first people to have heard of The Sonics. That’s not always a bad thing, if you enjoy the snottiness of youth. Of all…

SIX SONGS FOR INVISIBLE GARDENS
We’ve all melted with pleasure that all those years ago, Mort Garson got his synths out and created ‘Plantasia’ – a record to soothe your houseplants. If you wished there were more records like this, welcome to Olive Ardizoni’s relatively recent work – ‘Six Songs For Invisible Gardens’. Under the name Green-House, this is the…
