WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We didn’t quite know how to word the headline but wanted to let you fans of Jim Noir and Soundcarriers know about a new LP that needs to be on your radar. The new album is from Co-Pilot who are comprised of Alan Roberts (Jim Noir) and Leonore Wheatley (The Soundcarriers, International Teachers of Pop) – both…

The marvellous Be With Records have a number of test pressings for sale, which will be a cool and fun thing to add to your record collection. They haven’t put a single dud out to date, so you know the music will be great too! They’re limited in number, so don’t mess around pondering it…

Charif Megarbane is Habibi Funk’s first contemporary signing, which is a thrill! There’ll be a new LP (which sounds ace) called ‘Marzipan’ released on 11th August 2023. You’ll know Habibi Funk’s incredible output with an insanely high hit-rate of compilations of Middle Eastern and North African music – seriously, there’s no duffers in the catalogue,…

This is totally on us really, but we assumed Devendra Banhart was still making acid-folk, but we’re basing that on information in our head that is well over a decade old. Anyway, if you’re not surprised, we were taken aback by his new single which is all synthy and fully produced (by Cate Le Bon,…

Do you like the Allah-Las? Great news for you is that they’ve announced a new album called ‘Zuma 85’ and there’s a tour afoot and two new songs for you to listen to. The first new song we’ll share is called ‘The Stuff’ which will be a familiar sound to fans, with twangy psych guitars…

The big news is that we’re going to have some new music from The Beatles this year. Will it be great and better than anything they’ve done before? Probably not, but this is still exciting stuff for Fab Four Dorks around the world. We’re excited. Paul McCartney says he’s used artificial intelligence to help create…

We were going to write a piece about the music in the brilliant and often bizarre world of I Think You Should Leave. If you’ve not seen it, then half the memes on the internet probably don’t make a lick of sense to you. Go and watch it. Anyway, we said we were going to…

Hype can be a terrible thing, leaving us plebs feeling like a moment has shot it’s load before you’ve even got a chance to digest the damned thing. In a period where everything has felt frantic, fraught, and fucking shite, we could all do with a dose of something camp and ridiculous to cheer us…

British Blues legend, prog overlord and axe-master, Tony McPhee from The Groundhogs, has sadly passed away. In a FB post on the group’s page, it said: “We are deeply saddened to announce that 79-year-old guitar and blues legend Tony (TS) McPhee, died peacefully at home today 6th June, from complications following a fall last year.”…

Not a thing we thought we’d be writing in a headline, but here we are. Fact is, the pair have been spotted out together a bunch, and obviously, men and women couldn’t possibly be platonic friends without bumping uglies in the mind of everyone, so what’s the craic? After posting some photos on Instagram featuring…

And so, to Logic1000 who is making some of the coolest house music on the planet right now – experimental in places, but accessible…

BRIAN ENO SHARES EMOTIONAL THING
There’s a new track from Brian Eno, who you’ll know as That Guy From Roxy Music or Ambient Man. It’s called ‘All I Remember’ and you might not need more information than this, so head to the bottom of the page to press play. For those that like reading, this track is about some of…

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. With that, Nia Archives who is waiting to drop their full length debut album next month (‘Silence Is Loud’, for the record) has released a single which reminds us of classic…
