WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Ed Sheeran has said that he doesn’t see the point in music critics. You might think that this is going to provoke some kind of butt-hurt response from us, given that this is a place for music criticism. Well, largely, there’s a point to this notion, given that people have Spotify and YouTube now, so…

Granted, that seems like an incredibly Brexity headline, but V V Brown is back with a new track called ‘Black British’, so we’re not being massive gammons. You may remember V V’s rootsy pop from the Noughties, but it’s 2023, and she’s got something she wants to say. And this is potent stuff, where she…

There’s going to be new music from Girls Aloud (if you’re pretending you don’t like them, you can stop now – it’s not cute) and that’s been confirmed by the achingly tremendous Kimberley Walsh. This is to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut LP ‘Sound Of The Underground’. The girls have been moderately active…

Great news if you want to sit with a load of other people and watch the Eurovision Song Contest at high volume – it’s going to be broadcast in British cinemas for the first time ever. Of course, everyone was trying to get tickets for the show in Liverpool and the whole thing sold out…

If you’ve made the killer Bollywood playlist to end them all on Spotify, you may have noticed that it’s not what it once was, and that’s because there’s hundreds of Bollywood music tracks missing on the platform, which is incredibly annoying. This has happened for boring business reasons, rather than anything actively nefarious. Spotify say…

Little Richard has long been adored, but he never truly got his flowers like many of his contemporaries did. That’s about to change. And about fucking time. Director Lisa Cortés’ has made a documentary about the greatest rock ‘n’ roll singer of all time called ‘Little Richard: I Am Everything’, which not only looks at…

Cameron Crowe – you know him from the brilliant but don’t think too hard about it or it ends up feeling a bit problematic Almost Famous – is apparently doing a movie about Joni Mitchell. Now, Joni is the realest of the real, so this feels long overdue, however, movies about musicians are often not…

And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

Now that the Super Furry Animals are back together and currently on the road, showing everyone how they’re the best psychedelic group of a generation – how did it all start? Well, the various members of SFA were all in different groups around Wales, and thankfully, Walian TV station S4C made a little documentary about…

REVIEW / ALDOUS HARDING / TRAIN ON THE ISLAND
There’s no-one quite like Aldous Harding. From the lyrical content, the jarring but hot-as-hell dancing, the switching of voices, the costumes, the arresting videos… and most importantly, the utterly unique approach in her brilliant songwriting. So, we’re here with her newest album, and the words are once again twisting and turning, all delivered in Harding’s…

KÁRYYN’S FUTURE SOUL EXPERIMENTS
We just heard about KÁRYYN, who has a new album coming which was co-pro’d with Hudson Mohawke and James Ford, and sounds very exciting indeed, based on the new track from it. The album is called ‘Physics Universal Love Language (Pull)’ and the first track is ‘End To Knowing’. She’s an Syrian-Armenian-American artist, and the…

JEFF PARKER ETA IVTET LIVE
We got very excited to the album from the Jeff Parker ETA IVTet, and gave it a great review on these very pages. You can read that review here. Well, if you’re not for reading words about albums you’ve not heard yet (what’s wrong with you?) but are in the market for new jazz, you’re…
