WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
There’s been something of a reappraisal of the Style Council over the years, which has been really nice to see. Paul Weller’s post-Jam output is up there with his best work, there’s no doubt about that. With that, Universal Music are going to release some limited edition records, namely with a series of three limited
-
El Michels Affair have been teaming up with some cool people, including Derya Yildirim & The Grip Simsek and now, Melody’s Echo Chamber. All record collector approved global beat, which is great news for all! Melody Prochet says of this collab that: “‘Daisy’ started as a daydream while listening to Leon’s finest music,” which is
-
When it’s done correctly, listening to a popstar lambast fame, the world of pop, and curse the nature of celebrity, it’s transfixing. Think about how GaGa sent the whole thing up, lampooning and hate-loving the spotlight with ‘The Fame / Monster’. Think about MJ’s ‘Leave Me Alone’, ‘Idle Worship’ by Paramore, Billie Eilish’s ‘NDA’, and
-
Saintseneca’s upcoming album – ‘Highwalllow & Supermoon Songs’ – is the first from the group in 7 years, which is some wait. They’ve been busy, it’s fine, don’t worry about it. Either way, this new album from the Ohio psychedelic folk indie outfit is due out on October 31st, and the whole thing is carved up and
-
Grateful Dead are just cool aren’t they? The definition of a jam band, with an easy approach to psychedelic music that has seen them endure with sandal wearing mums and dads. Well, we’d like to share a performance from Beat Club of ‘Sugaree’, which ended up on a Jerry Garcia solo album, which is just

There’s something amazing going on in São Paulo at the moment. The scene is active and inventive down there, being like a second coming of the Tropicalia movement with psychedelic pop and rock bursting out all over the city. In fact, the whole of Brazil is musically in rude health these days, and the latest
-
Bad Bunny’s world tour ruffled some feathers when the date announcements showed no US stops. Of course, fans were disappointed, but it’s pretty obvious why he wasn’t going to perform on the mainland. We all guessed it, but now he’s confirmed that he won’t be playing shows due to the real fear that ICE may
-
With some musicians, you can just tell they’ve got good record collections. Some people just look like they like going into record shops. Toro Y Moi is definitely one such person, and handily enough, it translates into his music too, with a cool mix of West Coast grooviness, easy psych, and funk electronics. With that,
-
The reappraisal for Wings has been a welcome one, as Paul McCartney’s post-Beatle career finally got a fair shake of the stick after everyone released what a fun and inventive outfit Macca had assembled through the ’70s and ’80s. With that, there’s going to be a self-titled anthology collection which has been signed-off and overseen
-
It’s a shame that Miguel memed so hard when he leg-dropped that poor woman at a show, because when he puts his mind to it, he’s one of the most idiosyncratic R&B singers on the circuit. With that, he’s got plans to release his first new LP in the best part of a decade, which

NIA ARCHIVES WITH DNB NEWIE
There’s something of a drum ‘n’ bass resurgence afoot, going back to it’s gritty realism after a lot of… well… Chase & Status stadiumstep. With that, Nia Archives who is waiting to drop their full length debut album next month (‘Silence Is Loud’, for the record) has released a single which reminds us of classic…
