WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Ace new group of evil-doers, Deaf Whip, have released a tremendously stylish and sexy live session for you to be summoned by. Deaf Whip are the child of all manner of great shit, and in this you’ll hear psychedelic drone, heavy heavy fuzz, brutalist electronic analogue doom, goth punk, and so much more. A co-pro

‘Sound of the Underground’ on vinyl? Lovely coloured vinyl? What’s not to love about that, Girls Aloud fans? It’s the 20th anniversary of the LP, and you can pre-order it and then when it eventually arrives at your house, you can hold it like it’s your first born child. Order it via the Girls Aloud

We were listening to ‘Come On, Eileen’ by Dexy’s the other day, and for the first time ever, wondered what that opening line was all about. If you’re not familiar, its: “Poor old Johnnie Ray; sounded sad upon the radio, moved a million hearts in mono. Our mothers cried, sang along, who’d blame them?“ That’s

You probably love Thundercat already and, unless you’re some precise age that actively hates the popularity of Tame Impala because you were annoyed at all your classmates liking them when you were ranting and raving about The Cramps or something, you probably quite like a couple of Tame Impala tracks. Well, the two have teamed

To many, Harry Belafonte is the singer of wonderful songs, such as ‘Jump In The Line (Shake Señora)’ which featured prominently in Beetlejuice. To others, he’s a civil rights activist and all-round legend. He was a well respected actor too. All of these things are fair, as we bid a very fond farewell to one

Yes, we understand that we led with quite the headline there, but this is a wild story that is going to require some working out. We could’ve added that we think Pras Michel might be representing himself as well, just for a bit of added MENTALNESS. So, what’s going on and will we get sued

Yuné Pinku makes really great music. Sniffs of UK Garage, clicky house, pop-bops and more all thrown into the mixing pot. It really is infectious stuff. This week, there’s a new EP due called ‘Babylon IX’ and we’re pretty excited about hearing it. That excitement has ramped up slightly with the release of a new

It might be a bit of a stereotype to presume that vinyl-loving readers of these pages might see their toes curl up at the notion of any social media platform that requires you to take a photo of yourself, but y’know. Anyway, assuming that we might actually have some readers under the age of 35,

We fizzed with excitement about the Gayance LP, and we’re doing it all over again as she’s teamed up with Jarreau Vandal for an absolute bop. The track is called ‘No More’ and the track is out right now – but if you want to hear it first, then keep scrolling because obviously we’ve embedded

Dolphins are proper dirty fuckers, and with that opening gambit in mind, the Vengaboys have something to tell you. Robin Pors, a Venga himself, said that a dirty dolphin assaulted him. Like that – it wasn’t a mugging. He brushed the whole thing off as a ‘compliment’, because when you’re a Vengaboy, you are irresistible

BRIAN ENO SHARES EMOTIONAL THING
There’s a new track from Brian Eno, who you’ll know as That Guy From Roxy Music or Ambient Man. It’s called ‘All I Remember’ and you might not need more information than this, so head to the bottom of the page to press play. For those that like reading, this track is about some of…

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…
