WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
BICEP are responsible for a number of big sweaty dance tracks and they’re at it again with a new collab with Eliza, which obviously, you can hear below or else why would we be writing about it, right? Hailing from Northern Ireland if you’re updating your files, the pair have announced ‘CHROMA 000’ which is a…

Spotify’s flirtation with authoritarian politics continues. It started with creaming money off the success of Rogan’s podcast, it continued with the news that founder Daniel Ek was using everyone’s money to fund AI in drones for war, and now, ICE recruitment. A number of artists have been pulling their music off the platform, and some…

If you’ve got a pair of Clarks and love the occasional camping holiday in the South of France, you are probably a fan of the mighty Tunng. Folkie in a non-cringe, authentic way. Acid folk for fun drop-out mums and dads. Well, there’s a new Tunng single out called ‘Anoraks’. Sam Genders says: “One of…

Never mind the podcasts and tabloid stuff – we’re a music blog and we’re focusing on that, thank you very much. And the news is that Lily Allen has announced that she’s releasing a new album after some years away from the scene. The new record will be her fifth and called ‘West End Girl’…
-
Courtney Barnett is great and, more importantly, she’s back with her first new single in a couple of years, with a song called ‘Stay In Your Lane’. As ever, there’s tension and discordant stuff to couple with the strong melodies, and apparently, Barnett recorded the track in a bid to work through the trials of bottling…

Rosalia’s last couple of albums have been excellent, and ‘MOTOMAMI’ just about propelled her into superstardom, so all eyes are on the next release, right? It’s either no pressure or loads of pressure! Well, the news is that there’s going to be a new record called ‘LUX’, and no-one has to wait too long, as…

Sometimes the algorithm drops a video in your lap out of absolutely nowhere and blows your brains out, so the only thing to do is share it wider. We don’t speak the language, but we think this might be of Egyptian origin (let us know if you know), and it’s a bunch of cool older…

It’s so nice that Nick Heyward is back with Haircut 100. They were a wonderful band and, better yet, the new stuff is equally fantastic, with their super smart sophisticated jangly pop. Sophistipop, you might say. Well, we covered a song by the reformed gang a while ago, and honestly, we can’t remember what we…
-
There’s a new EP coming from Helado Negro called ‘The Last Sound On Earth’, which sounds like it’s going to be one worth checking in on. He says that the whole thing has been inspired by “Miami bass, freestyle, jungle, and electronic dance music I grew up dancing to” and first track ‘Protector’ shows a…

It is time once again, where we’ve remembered to upload the tracklisting for the newest FREE RANGE radio show, because we so frequently forget and we genuinely get people asking what songs we’ve played after butchering various pronunciations. We missed September for no good reason other than idleness brought on by going for a weekend…

YOUNG THUG TRIAL PAUSED
The racketeering case concerning Young Thug has taken a new twist. The RICO trial is already the longest criminal trial seen in Georgia, clocking up 18 months, and it doesn’t look like letting up any time soon. However, it has been paused indefinitely thanks to an alleged misconduct by Fulton County Superior Judge Ural Glanville.…

SZA GLASTONBURY SET APPARENTLY WENT WRONG
Maybe it was surprising to see SZA headline Glastonbury, maybe it wasn’t. Fact is, there’s millions of people who adore her work and there’s no-one quite like her, and while some people may wonder why she headed the bill, festivals should be taking little risks like that instead of just booking sure-fire artists. Apparently, there…

CLASSIC COUNTRY FROM MIDLAND
They’re AM Radio friendly country music, that’s for sure – but Midland sure know how to rock a look. They’re all Nudie suits and big hats and in the slick country universe, they’re about as classic country rock as you can get. The trio have a new single out called ‘Lucky Sometimes’ and will feature…
