WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We don’t know the work of Emily Sprague, of Florist, but apparently she’s taken a left turn. Whatever is happening, we like it! She’s said that her new single ‘Double Moon’ “marks the beginning exploration of a previously uncharted map for me – the realms that combine my modular synthesizer work and my singing/songwriting.” It’s…
-
Well, it is finally official! There’s a new Boards of Canada album coming out with a release date, new artwork, song titles and EVERYTHING. Yeah, that’s right. The album is called ‘Inferno’, and is out May 29th, and it’s entirely new music after weeks of mystery and speculation, all kicked off with some VHS cassettes…
-
Kacey Musgraves is readying her sixth LP – ‘Middle of Nowehere’ – after releasing the very tongue-in-cheek ‘Dry Spell’ which had one of the best ‘Yup!’ deliveries we’ve heard anywhere, she’s now given us another track to whet the whistle. The new album is not far away, landing on May 1st, and the artwork and…

Have you heard of Anna’s Archive? Well, it was a project that mirrored libraries from streaming services. You might say they were like a library, trying to preserve all the recorded music, via Bit Torrents. That’s what they said, and it all wasn’t readily searchable from your average internet user either. Of course, there’s no…

If you like your Lo-Fi rock ‘n’ roll to have flashes of early Kinks and Garage Punk, then you probably need to get on board with Australian group, The Gnomes, who like fuzzy guitars mixed with actual songwriting rather than simple yelling. Now that we’re averse to yelling, mind you. The band will release a…

Geese shot to fame seemingly overnight, which can only mean one thing – we must don our tinfoil hats and assume something is up. Or at least, that’s what the vibe is currently amongst the chattering indie classes, who think this must be some ‘industry plant’ thing going on, or in one instance, that the…

Madonna promised that she’d be leading us back to the club (where you can dance – for inspiration, c’mon!) when she said a sequel to the mighty Confessions of a Dancefloor was coming our way. Well, now it is totally official, with ‘Confessions II’ getting released on July 3rd. And there’s a teaser to whet…
-
Well, we told you that Boards of Canada had started dropping clues, and now it seems official that they are indeed back, having uploaded a video to their official channels (as have Warp Records) simply called ‘Tape 5’. The clip is similar to the VHS cassettes that had been sent to a select few, except…
-
We’re new to Spacemoth and on the strength of the new track, we’ve been missing out! Spacemoth is actually Maryam Qudus who is out on the West Coast of the US, and is a producer as well as a fine musician. There’s a new album coming out called ‘Inward Eye’ which you can get stuck into…
-
Jasmín is new to us, but we’re always in the market for some heavy techno and dancefloor action, and her new track ‘It’s Girls Night’ caught our attention, being all deep and sophisticated as it is. She’s released this with Fabric Originals and the release – with other tracks we think – will get a…

NICOLE MIGLIS ELECTRONIC ORCHESTRAL WONDER
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…

NUBYA GARCIA’S NEO JAZZ GOODNESS
If you’ve been missing that low-lit, seductive Neo Soul of the late ’90s/early ’00s, then London jazzer Nubya Garcia has just the thing for you with her new single, ‘Set It Free’. After bagging a Mercury music prize nom and a huge tour, she’s coming back with a new album by the name of ‘Odyssey’…

REVIEW / NICK WATERS / WITHER
There’s few joys in life that are nicer than tripping over an album completely by chance and finding that it’s an absolute romp of toytown psychedelic and glorious shed pop! While acid-songwriters in the pomp of the ’60s had huge studios, endless tape and orchestras, since then, things have retreated and paired down. The ambition…

BOB DYLAN, RONALD REAGAN BIOPIC
Bob Dylan is contributing a song to a new biopic about the life of Ronald Reagan and we absolutely want to mention the massive rumour relating to the phrase ‘THROAT GOAT‘. If you don’t know the rumour, then you’re really missing out. However, we’ve got more factual based things to talk about. The new movie…
