WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Cindy Wilson is one of the voices of the legendary B-52s and we all know her for the vampy, day-glo garage pop and big wigs. So when she’s back with a new single, we were expecting some bug-eyed fun, and well, we got something very different. Talking about her new album and single, she said:…

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a person we like more than Andre 3000 at PopCorps. Part of the greatest hip hop act to ever do it, endlessly cool and now, seemingly living his life entirely on his own terms and being spotted around the States just vibing with his wooden flute, any mention of him…

The death of any format is usually incorrect, but it’s true that trends can wax and wane. For years, vinyl was dying and of course, vinyl enthusiasts cleaned up down the record shops during the lean years while everyone else pressed and bought compact discs. Cassettes too, fell by the wayside with new tape releases…

One of the best hidden gems of the Noughties is Eiafuawn’s ‘Birds In The Ground’ LP and perfectly captured that weird need for music to provide a sense of unease as well as comfort in post 9/11 America. Think of how much we were all listening to Grandaddy and Will Oldham records, right? An off-shoot…

Our pal Aphex Twin is back with some new music, and it’s a mid-tempo breakbeat affair which won’t give you a nosebleed! Nice stuff, although we also like the nosebleed stuff too, for the record. It’s called ‘Blackbox Life Recorder 21f’ and it originally appeared on Soundcloud, then vanished, then reappeared on your favourite streaming…
-
Big Freedia always goes hard and there’s a new LP due called ‘Central City’, which is exciting! That’s out this Friday, so you don’t have to wait long, which is even better! She’s sharing a track to whet the whistle called ‘El Niño’,” which happens to feature fellow New Orleans legend Lil Wayne and longtime…

Hype is a dangerous thing. If you’re a hotly tipped band that’s come out of nowhere, suspicions are likely to be aroused. And so, to a headline from the NME, who are not impervious to a bit of shenanigans with their hype machine. Introducing Picture Parlour, the fearless rockers ready to take on the world…

My Bloody Valentine fans can be a feverish lot, so good news dorks, Kevin Shields has released some new music right under your noses and no-one noticed until now! The noisenik has released a limited edition fuzz pedal, and inside it, secreted away, is some new music! Earlier this week, Shields shared the deets on…

Glastonbury has form for big bands playing secret sets. We don’t know why. Tradition probably. A bit of fun, for the kiddies. Anyway, there’s a large rumour doing the rounds that Pulp will be performing. So what’s the basis behind this muttering? Well, there’s a band called The ChurnUps on the Pyramid Stage who are…

The fall-out from Little Mix has been a tense affair, so we’re thrilled to not be writing about that so we can focus on something much better – songs that slap. Leigh-Anne is starting a new chapter in her career and she’s hot out of the gates with ‘Don’t Say Love’ – a love letter…

TINARIWEN SPEAK OF TURMOIL
Tinariwen have a new single out called ‘Amidinim Ehaf Solan’ and it is a timely piece about the turmoil of the political situation in the world right now. Touhami Ag Alhassane says the track “speaks of patience and unity amid political turmoil, a reminder that even a thirsty land can turn green again.” The lyrics…

MICHELLE SARA’S SLOW SYNTHPOP
You think synthpop and [insert]wave might be done and dusted, but then someone releases a single and it all comes flooding back, and just why you love analogue synths and ’80s arpeggio basslines so much. And so, to Michelle Sara’s new single – ‘Forever’ – which is a slow, bubbling thing which really ticks the…

ALDOUS HARDING’S NEW ONE IS FUCKING BRILLIANT
If you know Aldous Harding, you probably already love her and that headline is of absolutely zero surprise to you. That said, this won’t stop us from getting all excited about new music and sharing it. This new one is a gorgeous piece of music that drops into a lovely little groove and we don’t…
