WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Andy Shauf is in a band called Foxwarren and they’ve got a new song out called ‘Deadhead’, and like most things involving Shauf, it’s power-poppy, catchy, fun and all that good stuff. However, you NEED to see the video for the new track because it’s a slice of real oddball silliness. Almost like a Tim

‘Lord Willin’ is an all-timer of a rap LP, so it is worth getting excited that Pusha T and No Malice have started to roll-out the new stuff for their reunion. There’s a new LP called ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ which, brilliantly, seems to be a Marge Simpson quote. The first new album in over a decade,

Lorde’s new roll-out has been a pretty interesting one, with impromptu parties and such, and now a new song called ‘Man of the Year’, which is emotionally exposing in more than one way in the new video. Of the new LP – ‘Virgin’ – she’s sharing a new video where she throws herself wholeheartedly into
-
Look, we know Boiler Room kinda stinks – but when they do it right, they’re one of the best in the business against your better judgement. With that, in what feels like old Internet, giving you something totally unique, regional, and new, Ethiopian Records did a Boiler Room set and it’s an instant classic. New

When Drugdealer are on form, they’re irresistible. Weyes Blood is one of the finest artists on the planet right now. Add the two together? Magic. Of course, this is not the first collaboration between these two things, but this new track is a welcome return from some time out for both, and Weyes Blood is

August 29th sees a new album from pastoral post rockers, Modern Nature, and the long player goes by the name of ‘The Heat Warps’. You can hear a track from it which is called ‘Pharaoh’, and with a kneejerk reaction granted, it sounds like a career best from the project, although they’d be loathed to

Saint Etienne have always been into interesting collaborations, from teaming up with Tim Burgess for a Christmas single, to Monkey Mafia remixes and more! With their latest release, they’re doing more of the same! They have a new LP called ‘International’ and from it, you can listen to a track called ‘Glad’, which features Tom
-
Everything we’ve heard from the imminent Yaya Bey album has been great, so this is a further call for you to be ready for the release of ‘Do It Afraid’, which is coming out June 20th. We think it’ll be one of the R&B albums of 2025. Don’t wait for someone else to get you

Pearl Charles is one of our favourite artists and we’ve featured her on this site before and countless playlists, from the burning-hot disco of ‘Only For Tonight’ to the recent Lauren Canyon gorgeousness meets Muscle Shoals soul of ‘Step Too Far’. A hugely talented song-writer, Charles will be playing some live shows in the UK

Alison Goldfrapp’s about to release her second solo LP, which is called ‘Flux’, and if you’re hoping that she’s rediscovered her love of kinky glam synthpop, then you are absolutely in luck. The new song is exactly that! Now, don’t get us wrong – she’s not just wheeling out the old sound for clout –

CONGO FUNK!
If you’ve spent any time in the cool sections of any decent record shop, you’ll know that the Analog Africa crew but out an insanely high quality of LPs and have been doing for ages now. The latest is no exception, with a brilliant comp called Congo Funk! Sound Madness From The Shores Of The…

JAMC NEW SONG
The Jesus and Mary Chain have a new song out called ‘Girl 71’ and, as you’d hope, it’s a bit garage punk, it’s a bit dead-eyed and seething. However, it’s got a riff, which is a bit unusual for them, eh? Also, it’s a duet with Rachel Conte and it’s going to appear on their…

THE FACES ARE STRUGGLING
Rod Stewart has said that the comeback of The Faces is in a bit of a sticky situation because they’re struggling to make new tunes. Keep in mind that he’s gone on record recently as saying he’s a fan of George Ezra, that might be why – no shade to George Ezra there, but he’s…

EVIL FUZZ FROM DEAF WHIP
If you’re into killer fuzz, bug-eyed psychedelic bondage music and a heavy gothic sonic assault on the senses, then you need to get to know Deaf Whip. They have a new single out called ‘Clocking Out’, and they’ve described themselves as “heavy garage four piece with synthesised nods to drone, punk and psychedelia” which slightly…
