We’d not heard of Hurry before literally just now, but they’ve got a lovely jangle-pop number out, which precedes their new LP, and it’s all very pleasant indeed. The song is called ‘Parallel Haunting’ and will feature on the forthcoming ‘Don’t Look Back’ LP. They hail from Philly and if you like Teenage Fanclub, Guided…

Like Bikini Kill? Well, you’re in for a treat if the headline didn’t already completely give it away – Kathleen Hanna is going to be releasing a new memoir called ‘Rebel Girl: My Lift As A Feminist Punk’. It’ll be looking at the ’90s punk movement, with an emphasis on the women within it (as…

Lime Garden have a new track out that will thrill retro loving kids and their parents who want to go to gigs again with a ’90s inspired, noisy number and, it’s a wry affair as well, what with it being called ‘Nepotism (Baby)’, which leads us to believe it’s going to be popular indeed. The…

For the French to take an English person to heart, they have to be pretty special – and of course, they don’t come much more special than Jane Birkin, one of the world’s greatest muses. She died over the weekend, aged 76, forever France’s favourite petite Anglaise. Actor, singer, icon – Birkin was the complete…

Online, there’s a lot of novel ways of listening to music and super interesting ideas for mixes scattered throughout YouTube, but this week, thanks to the ever wonderful PopBitch mailout, we were alerted to a particularly cool thing.

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy is again, sharing new music, this time with ‘Crazy Blue Bells’ which is classic twisted-folk that we all love the artists also known as Will Oldham, for. “I believe that it is apparent that this piece of work is a celebration of gratitude and collective action,” says Oldham about his new vid…

There’s a lot of talk around Alaska Reid at the moment and honestly, we’re playing catch-up as it seems there’s been hot talk about her for a while now. We don’t know everything, y’know? However, we listened to ‘Dogs & Girls’ by chance and it seems, along with the likes of Honey Gentry, there’s a…

Noname is getting heat on Twitter as usual, because Noname has got the temerity to care about things, so therefore any perceived minor indiscretion is blown up to all pointless proportion that you wonder where she gets the energy to anything at all. Thankfully, she does because she’s brilliant. And so, to things that matter…

If you’re not following Dream Chimney on the various socials, you really need to. They’re fine curators of balearic gems, jazz and funk, easy house and anything vibey to tap your Birkenstocks along to. Here’s their website and we suspect you can work out the rest. They’ve shared a mix from Dom Williams which we’ve…

NIA ARCHIVES WITH DNB NEWIE
There’s something of a drum ‘n’ bass resurgence afoot, going back to it’s gritty realism after a lot of… well… Chase & Status stadiumstep.
