WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Manchester’s gloom glam merchants Deaf Whip have a new single out called ‘Cherry Lotion’, and looks like they’ve got themselves on a cool little label too – notably, the ace Sour Grapes who have been pushing psychedelic rock to all and sundry for a while now. A great fit. Apparently this was recorded in part
-
If you speak Welsh, ‘Y Gath’ is just ‘the cat’, but it is also the title of a new song from Gwenno who hails from Cardiff (and daughter of a Cornish poet, so that’s Celtic Squared). The track is from the forthcoming ‘Utopia’ LP, which is out on Heavenly next week. It features H Hawkline
-
Turnstile are just about the biggest punk group on the planet right now, and it seems like there’s still swathes of rock fans who haven’t cottoned on to this fact yet – and maybe that’s how the punks are going to enjoy it, because after today, they’re going to be absolutely everywhere whether they like
-
We like pop music, and we like it when it’s made by bands (we also like it when it has been made by a pop factory, we’re not being like that) and that’s what we’ve found with the new single from Yumi Zouma. It’s pop, but stripped down a bit, but anthemic and a whole
-
If there’s anybody in the whole world of music we wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of, it is Pusha T. There’s nobody with an aim truer than King Push, and besides, he seems to genuinely not give a single fuck what anyone thinks. He’s Teflon. Speaking to GQ, he spoke about Kanye.
-
It may have been released in February, but the chances of English readers being all. Over Biche’s magnificent album are slim, and an album doesn’t need to be fresh off the grill to get excited about. Fact is, it’s so hard to make original music in 2025, that when a band arrives that sound like
-
For fans of ’60s psychedelic rock, the Electric Prunes were always one of the more unique and brilliant groups. Their ‘Underground’ LP captured the eeriness of the West Coast counter-culture scene of the time, and their music endured. From ‘Get Me To The World On Time’ and ‘I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night’,
-
We have waxed lyrical about the music of Cheapskate before, and with the new single, we’re going to do it all over again. Cheapskate’s music is everything that you love about noirish Brit jazz, ’70s library music and now, with all the sun-soaked bliss of Mediterranean funk and analogue synth bits. ‘The Sea’ is smooth
-
The term ‘scream queen’ gets thrown around a lot, and often semi-unfairly – but there’s no denying the fact that anyone who stumbled out of seeing ‘In A Violent Nature’ knew that, in Andrea Pavlovic, there was a real talent afoot. The emotional maturity which she met such a grisly task, it isn’t surprising that
-
For all of the ills of YouTube and it’s relentless algorithm meddling, it’s still one of the best platforms for independent creators doing great things. This video is a mix of some pals hanging out, eating food, free styling, singing, playing tracks and generally being good for the soul. You need to press play on

NXWORRIES ARE BACK
They’re a good pair Anderson Paak and Knxwledge, so it’s good to learn that they have a new LP coming out called ‘Why Lawd?’. It should be on the shelves on June 7 via the legendary Stones Throw, and there’s not a huge amount of information to go on, so obviously, keep an eye on…

REVIEW / FABIANA PALLADINO / SELF TITLED
We fizzed with excitement when we heard Fabiana Palladino’s ‘I Can’t Dream Anymore’, and now there’s a full length debut album which saw Stereogum saying “they don’t make pop music like this anymore”, and Petridis enthusing and giving it album of the week over at The Guardian. It’s clear that Palladino is doing things differently.…

KEITH HARING MIXTAPES
Keith Haring is rightly having a renaissance these days, even if we’re a smidge worried that a few too many products have been licensed with his work. When he painted, Haring would listen to music and if you’ve ever wondered what he was listening to, wonder no more! The Keith Haring Foundation has compiled the…

NEW ALBUM FROM L’IMPERATRICE
Look, we don’t make the rules – but L’Imperatrice are one of the coolest bands on the planet and the fact that they’re French and make a brand of Saint Tropez disco makes them even cooler. So, when they’re dropping an album, you should absolutely prick your ears up. This will be their third LP…
