WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
One of the most wonderful things about The Charlatans is their ability to breathe and grow, when many of their peers plough a familiar trough, and rely largely on nostalgia. Not so this lot, who have gone through ’90s psychedelia and indie-dance, to sun-soaked Californian synthetics, to rootsy rock, to Balearic, to post punk, and…

If you’ve been reading our words for a while, you’ll know how much we love the music of Dora Morelenbaum. Her ‘Pique’ album is one of our favourite records, and is a modern Brazilian classic. Read our review here. Well, Dora has a new video out for the swooning, groovy ‘Não Vou Te Esquecer’, and…

The release of Justin Bieber’s ‘SWAG’ album was, for most, a surprise. Not least because of the absence of promotional materials released in the build-up to it, but in part, it was remarkable that he’d even been working on anything. For those not terminally swirling around Bieber’s plughole for every morsel of information, he’d only…

People who write about music, overthink music, read books and websites about music, devour music documentaries and go on Wikipedia deep-dives, are not your average music listener. Don’t read that as ‘better’, rather, atypical. Think about it – there’s people out there who saw the Oasis reunion, but were completely unaware that Liam Gallagher just…

Rock n roll is a perilous business at the best of times, what with the circus life trying to get you on the drink, drugs and a variety of sexually transmitted diseases. Spare a thought then, for poor ol’ Suki Waterhouse. The singer, songwriter and actor took to social media this week, and informed her…

Rochelle Jordan started off as a woozy LoFi(ish) R&B singer, but since pivoting toward a modern take on Chicago House, she’s absolutely took off like a rocket! Seductive, smart, fun, classy – pretty much all of her releases have been top-tier. With that, she’s announced a new LP called ‘Through The Wall’, which we’ll be…

Okay, it’s not quite new Metronomy, but we had to hook you in somehow. What we have here is a super fun remix of a Metronomy track from 1-800 GIRLS, which sounds like it should start cropping up on the dancefloors around the place, all things being fair. This is a remix of ‘Salted Caramel…
-
One of our favourite things is a notification on a new release from DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ – from swirling house, to robo-teen drama pop, to an almost Boards of Canada-esque way of creating music that feels both alien and familiar, DJSTTDJ is always worth tuning into. The reference points in the music are…

Everyone’s an Oasis fan these days, now they’ve got back together and either reminded people with greying sides of the summers of their youth, or indeed, giving the young ‘ins a chance to see what the Gallagher brothers are like on stage. Of course, not literally everybody is an Oasis fan and – this writer…

It’s been well over a decade since we last got to look forward to a new full release from Clipse, and here we are in 2025 with ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ – with the pair backed by Pharrell and a host of high quality features, for a release that barely needed any publicity push.…

GET EXCITED / LOGIC1000
No music genre ever really goes away, but when there’s a blossoming of interest, it’s always worth keeping an eye on those artists within who are keeping things moving and interesting. 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…

REVIEW / KACEY MUSGRAVES / A DEEPER WELL
There’s so many things to love about Kacey Musgraves. She was one of the few who made country that felt genuinely modern and progressive, in a sea of pretty chewy stadium country, and with her peers, she mined a more reflective, cosmic, liberal country without painting her views in such gaudy, broad strokes, that it…
