WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they…

Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault…

ALENA SPANGER RHYMES WITH BANGER [MAYBE]
Is it Spange? Or Spang? We don’t know, but the new one from Alena Spanger is really cool and it’s called ‘All That I Wanted’ and you should give it a listen. There’s a good chance you’ve not heard of them if you’re outside of NYC, but there’s a debut album due and on the…

JUNIPERS RED BOUQUET BELTER!
The greatest band in the whole world – The Junipers – haven’t made any new music in a while (which we’re all poorer for), but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a piece of them in your home. Their magical ‘Red Bouquet Fair’ LP is available on the group’s Bandcamp page, and as its Bandcamp…
