WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We previously shared some music from Cate Le Bon’s new album – out later this month – called ‘Michelangelo Dying’, and what we’ve heard from it thus far, it’s going to be one of the better LPs released this year. With that, here’s a brand new track from it called ‘About Time’, which underlines our…

Princess Nokia is putting a new album out in October called ‘Girls’, which is good news for fans of hers! Of course, that means we’re treated to a teaser from it to whet our appetite in the meantime. She says of the new song: “‘Blue Velvet’ is both delicate and sinister. It supports women’s rights…

There’s been some palaver about Will Smith using AI to make a show of his look more fun than it apparently was, and while the whole thing is magnificently unimportant in the scheme of things, it did seem a bit fishy. Not to worry though, because while Smith hasn’t spoken about these accusations, he has…

Ever heard of the Mike Stuart Span? Well, if not, you’re not alone. They were a plucky group in the 60s trying to make it big. While stardom didn’t reach them, the BBC were on hand to see what it was like for a young band champing at the bit. It’s a lovely look at…

Our latest radio show is up and available to listen to. It doesn’t matter if you’re signed up for Mixcloud, we think. Anyone can listen, and as ever, it’ll be up for a couple of months so you can listen at your leisure. Anyway, here’s the show itself so you don’t have to search for…

Hayley Williams released some music for free on her website, hidden behind a password, then everyone shared the password, and they disappeared, only to reappear on streaming services as singles. Genuinely, it’s all be very fun and off-the-cuff, and a neat change from the rigmarole of incessant album cycles, eras, and seeded promo work. This…

Without a note being played, ‘Man’s Best Friend’ had annoyed half the internet thanks to the cover artwork. We’re not here for that, because in Sabrina Carpenter, we’ve got a popstar that’s remember that glittery, camp fun is a thing to rejoice. That’s not to say Carpenter lacks substance, but rather, reading too much into…

Hannah Jadagu is new to us, but never mind all that – we really like her new single called ‘Doing Now’, and you might really like it too! The track will appear on new album – ‘Describe’ – which we can hear in full in October, and released on the mighty Sub Pop, which is…
-
The impact of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ is about as large as sound appearing in movies and TV turning into colour. It’s the song that booted the doors open for rock music. A swirling, technicolour, brain melter of a track, it used tape loops and brilliant imagination to usher in The Beatles psychedelic period, and even…

Remember when the United States of America wasn’t nearly as difficult to look at. Obama was president and while guilty of some Politician Shit, at least he seemed capable, wore the title with a sense of responsibility, and could go for weeks without making any scandalous headlines. Back then, Donald Trump was a noisy conspiracy…

JON HOPKINS / MORE AMBIENT
If you’re a fan of Jon Hopkins and his ambient things, you’re in luck! He’s just shared a preview of the new LP ‘RITUAL’, which we think is meant to be in CAPS, but it shouldn’t be, because it’d be more ambient to have it lower case. Anyway, as this is ambient, we have to…

CORNERSHOP BACK AND THEY’RE ACE
When Cornershop burned a photo of Morrissey in 1992, everyone should’ve been aware that a legendary band were in ascendence. Every time Tjinder Singh & Co do something, it is our civic duty to yell about it! And so, they’ve made a super fun video and a really cool re-do of their 2018 track ‘Double…

JIM NOIR IS PUTTING A SHOW ON
Pop magpie Jim Noir is back again, emerging from a nest of wires and psychedelic hooks, and that’s always good news. He’s going to release ‘Jimmy’s Show 2’ on September 17th, collecting all the best songs from his Patreon bits and bobs, EPs and experiments. If you want to join Noir’s Patreon, you can do…

Here’s a sweet mix from Vero G with Discodelic, and is full to bursting with Latin American gems! Vero G hails from San Francisco, and honestly, has a record collection that’ll make you jealous. Recorded live at the Discodelic store in San Francisco, and this is a channel new to us and we’ll be keeping…
