WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

If you know Tim Heidecker, he takes having a laugh pretty seriously and as well as being a fine comedian, writer, podcaster and musician, he’s also willing to put his money where his talented mouth is. Tim, along with Eric Wareheim and Dave Kneebone founded Abso Lutely Productions which gave us ‘Tim and Eric Awesome…

You;l know Lauren Mayberry from the ace Chvrches, but she’s had some really cool solo stuff out and there’s a new one for you called ‘Something In The Air’, which is coming out ahead of the new LP ‘Vicious Creature’. The press release says the album is about “sexuality and empowerment from a profoundly personal…

The Horrors are back with a new line-up and after some genuinely great neon coloured synthy bits, they’re back to their gothic roots with a new track called ‘The Silence That Remains’. Of course, there’ll be an album and tour too. You can find dates yourself, but the LP is called ‘Night Life’. So what’s this…

There’s a trailer to look at, which sees Robbie Williams as a monkey. Now, that’s not your average sentence to write, but that’s the score as Robbie has a new biopic coming out, and instead of getting someone to just play him straight, he’s gone for a dollop of fantasy, which admit it – is…

Good hardcore will have you sat in your pants at home, imagining running headlong into a crowd of people, limbs flailing around wildly and emerging from the pit with a tooth missing and wanting to go back for. Regardless of whether you’re the kind of person who does that or not, the new Punitive Damage…

We’ve all seen how tricky the pop landscape is when you go it alone after being in a successful group for years and years. It is by no-means a sure thing and, where new artists may be given the chance to breathe and grow, someone from a successful group comes with the baggage of expectation.…

For years, Neil Young’s ‘On The Beach’ was something of a forgotten classic and it took an age to see a proper reissue. When it did, everyone updated their internal lists of which Neil Young LPs they liked the best, because it really is one of his finest works. Well, it’s getting a do-over again,…

We’ve spotted a great book that you’ll want or will start dropping heavy hints in the run-up to Christmas – it’s called ‘Acid House As It Happened’ and its a beautiful document of the boom of rave that happened in the late ’80s. By Dave Swindells, it’s filled with photos from Future and Shoom taken…

Fans of The Cure probably already heard this, but whatever. They’ve been teasing something new for a couple of weeks and now, there’s a new song to listen to and news of an album. The LP will be called ‘Songs of a Lost World’ and you imagine there’ll be a tour to go with it.…

NEW AMYL + THE SNIFFERS, LIKE
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 NEW ALBUM NEWS
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…

OBLIG OASIS ARTICLE
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 WITH ANOTHER BANGER
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…
