WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Cami Layé Okún is one of the finest and funnest DJs around right now. Playing music from Cuba (and elsewhere, but you need a hook, right?) she’s all about that rhythm and sunshine melody! This is not so much a piece where we need to write a great deal – basically, go follow her on…

Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they…

Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault…

L’IMPERATRICE SNUCK A NEW SONG OUT
L’Impératrice are brilliant and pretty much everything they do is that brand of irresistible, smoother than silk, French disco pop. It brings us great joy to say that the new song they’ve quietly put out is exactly that. Now, there’s not a proper video for it yet – only a lyric video – but it…

REVIEW / AMARO FREITAS / Y’Y
Recife is the hidden gem in Brazil’s musical heritage. While Rio and Salvador get all the critical praise, Pernambuco has a wealth of super interesting music, with shape-shifting acid folk, gonzo rock, and now we’re looking toward Amaro Freitas who manages to combine that rural and rugged sound with sophisticated metropolitan goodness to make for…

MORE SXSW MILITARY FALLOUT
In more ‘what did you think was gonna happen?’ news, the fallout over SXSW and their ties to the US Army continues and, of course, with SXSW being held in Texas, the Texans are of course acting up. If you stick your head out of the window and keen your ear, you may be able…
