WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’re big fans of NONAME who is someone who absolutely marches to the beat of her own drum, and she’s at it again with a surprise new track! Called ‘Hundred Acres’, it appeared on the algorithm which did its job for once, and as you’d expect, it’s smart as hell, funky, irresistible chorus, and is…

If you’ve heard ‘Dig My Grave’ by Lankum, you’re probably still a but spun out by it (or thunderously turned on if that’s you’re thing) and it’s gothic bedlam. Well, they’re at it again with a little treat for Halloween (and the general state of the world, sadly) with a unique take on ‘Ghost Town’…

Kelly Lee Owens is ace, especially when she’s in dancefloor mode – and she’s shared a new track from the EP ‘KELLY’ which we particularly like. The release of the EP is November 21st, and this new track should get your motor running in the meantime. It goes by the name of ‘132 TECHNO’, and…

A lot of R&B lately, has been so stoned or strung out on Xannies that it’s barely there. That’s fine and all that, but sometimes you want something a big more focused and bigger with the kind of drums that rattle your windows. Thank god then, for keiyaA, who is dropping her ‘hooke’s law’ album…

He’s a long way from his ‘Cartel’ days is Murkage Dave, and it’s been great to see his creative expand upwards and outwards. Genre-hopping, confessional and honest, he’s been releasing his best work since going solo. And there’s a new single called ‘Swordfight In A Chicken Shop’, and there’s a lyric video with it, so…

For people of a certain age, it’s always bad news when the things of their youth become ‘retro’. However, with that, comes an appreciation of the things we loved from the past. As subscription fatigue takes hold with the global youth, the Wild West of the old internet looks appealing once more. The premise of…

The Orielles are back, and that’s great news. They’ve announced a new LP which will be their fourth, called ‘Only You Left’. You’ll be able to hear the whole thing on March 13th, but of course, there’s a new song to tide you over. The new song is a heavy, psychedelic affair – a touch…

In a pop age where everyone is dropping cryptic messages and leaving trails of breadcrumbs and codes for fans to pore over, it’s little wonder the kids are all still mad on ‘Rumours’ for its open messiness and hostilities. In an age that’s obsessed with the tea and all the various ingredients, it’s refreshing to…
-
As we kinda expected, Rosalia’s new single is not one for the dancefloor. That’s not a criticism – more a statement of fact. Heavy orchestral business, very grand and will surely be a curtain dropper at any shows, it features Bjork and Yves Tumour too! The upcoming album is called ‘LUX’ and, as we previously…

Have you seen ’65 show where a bunch of The Beatles contemporaries perform the music of the group? Hosted by Lennon and McCartney, offbeat humour, fun stage design and barnstorming performances from Lulu, our Cilla, Marianne Faithfull, the boys themselves, and more, this was broadcast just two weeks after ‘Rubber Soul’. Not too shabby eh?…

THE JOY OF ‘THE NEW DANCE SHOW’
There’s few greater joys than seeing working class people dance en masse. Whether you’re amongst it or simply viewing it, hot dance music and people busting out while wearing their best clothes is wholesome good, and we’ve been going down a rabbit hole of clips from Detroit TV show ‘The New Dance Show’. It ran…

JANA MILA’S DOE-EYED COUNTRY POP
We don’t really know anything about Jana Mila but on the strength of hearing her new single ‘Somebody New’, we’re going to find out as soon as we hit the publish button on this. The small amount we do know is that there’s going to be a new album in the summer called ‘Chameleon’. It’s…

NEW EZRA COLLECTIVE
Jazz fusion’ers Ezra Collective have said they’ve got a new LP coming out this year, on the back of winning that award they won (we can’t remember what the award was, but we wrote about it and basically, it was well deserved) which is good news! Of course, that means a little teaser for it…

GENEVA JACUZZI WITH NEW BLITZ KID BOP
Based in LA, you’d been forgiven for thinking that Geneva Jacuzzi was actually a product of the Blitz Kid crew with their take on glamorous, gothic pop music. She’s got a new record deal and a new song – ‘Dry’ – to celebrate that fact. She says: “I took a little break from writing music…
