WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

His name has been hot shit for a minute and his stock is rising quickly – Texas son Mike Dimes is not letting up and new track ‘Heavy Metal’ goes hard! This will sound good in the club or the car – we’re into it. In ’22, Dimes’ ‘In Dimes We Trust’ LP was very…

You don’t have to speak the language to love a style of music. Maybe you are fluent in French, but no matter, because the fact is that Algeria’s Raï music is some of the most joyous and brilliant stuff ever recorded. It is a form of Algerian folk that kicked off in the ’20s and…

Remember how good ‘Pharaohs’ was by SBTRKT? Well, good news, they’re back soon and will have a new LP out called ‘The Rat Road’ on May 5th. In a note: “This album has been my most sonically ambitious record to create – following my own musical path – which isn’t based on others’ perceptions of…

The supergroup made up of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker are pretty famous these days. Famous enough that we really don’t need to tell you anything about them. Click below and have a listen to their new song called ‘Not Strong Enough’.

As people get older, many just give up. They’re just not as curious about music as they once where. They fall back into familiar albums and even with the advent of Spotify and music never being so simple to explore, they just bed down into the LPs of their youth like elderly rodents in hay.…

Everyone ought to know by now that Bob Stanley is one of the finest custodians of popular music, being a member of the mighty St Etienne, but also, writer of countless wonderful words about it and putting out so many dynamite compilations – he really has become a national treasure for music geeks, and we’re…

Festivals are pretty terrible things, but y’know, people enjoy them so it’s whatever. Kinda cool to watch live music on TV too, so we suppose it’s a net-plus. Anyway, the most lifestyley festival on the UK circuit is Glastonbury and they’ve confirmed some stuff and put a poster out. The main takeaway is that Guns…

David Bowie – a man with regrettably few decent haircuts in such a long and industrious career – is looking like returning from the dead, and starring in a new show that’s like the ABBA Voyage one. Is it virtual reality? It’s not a hologram. You know what we mean. Either way, you’ve got to…

MICHAEL MCDONALD + DOOBIES TO RECORD LP
The Doobie Brothers are a fine, fine band – but they sure went up a notch when Michael McDonald got involved. They’ve been enjoying a 50th anniversary reunion, and the whole gang has been on the road together and that’s lovely. It was announced that Steely Dan would be pulling out of the tour with…

BETH GIBBONS: STILL GREAT
When you love someone a lot, it’s great to see them still being great. And so, to Beth Gibbons who we all loved from her time in Portishead, who is delivering some tremendously atmospheric and creeped out cosmic psych at the moment. She has a new LP coming out called ‘Lives Outgrown’ and the new…

REVIEW / J COLE / MIGHT DELETE LATER
In classic rock circles, sometimes a new group appears that’s so reverential to the past, that it’s missing all the verve and spontaneity of the thing it’s looking toward. If you’re someone who still goes out, still cares about new releases, you might concede that they’re kinda good at what they do, but the whole…
