WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
All the hipster girls fancy him, and all the boys wish they were mates with him – Bill Ryder Jones has carved a great niche for himself in recent years and with his new single – ‘This Can’t Go On’ – he might be about to release some career-best music. Here’s hoping eh? There’s also

Smoke Fairies have been great for ages now, mixing road-movie twang with pastoral folk – and they’re back, which is great news for everyone concerned, and there’ll be a new LP called ‘Carried In Sound’ in November. There’s going to be gigs too, to accompany an album that’s promised to be a bit darker than previous
-
Post 9/11, country music has gone into something of a freefall, which is why people love The Chick so fucking much. Of course, it’s not a completely dead scene, but there’s something incredibly ugly about the flag-shagging, say it to my face, MAGA-courting stuff that Nashville has been churning out. Some of the bigger names

Have you heard the acid latest from Das Koolies? If you didn’t know, the Super Furries minus Gruff are making some ace music under this new guise and it’s more synth forward and of course, it’s super fun Welsh psychedelic business as usual! The new track is called ‘Katal’ and comes with Gabe Gurnsey remixes,

Weyes Blood is great and, long shot prediction – it’s only a matter of time before some hip director casts her in an indie film, right? Anyway, she’s returned with a new video for the magic ‘Twin Flame’ which you’ll know from her last album, which is brilliant. It’s another ’70s horror affair and it’s

If you’ve heard Margo Guryan’s music, then you’re probably already completely head-over-heels with it. Well, if you’ve been eyeing up some vinyl, the fabulous kids over at Numero Uno who can seemingly do no wrong, have something you’ll like! There’s going to be a series of Margo’s music, and the first is a really lovely

You may not have heard of Henry Diltz, but chances are, you’ve seen some of his photos. Diltz was there man, shooting some of the greatest to ever do it, focusing on the assorted crew that hung with Crosby Stills Nash & Young. He’s got a gorgeous new book of photos out called CSN&Y: Love

The crew over at Dream Chimney always share amazing music (you can follow them on social media for regular updates on cool shit) and they’ve got a killer mix for the tail-end of summer from Aura Safari. Need to read some words before hitting play? Well, if you’re into Nu-Age, Balearic and Italo bits, this

Adam Scott plays Normal Wry Guy better than most, so it’s kinda comforting to know that, in real life, he’s a Grade A Dadrock Guy. Along with Scott Aukerman have a pod which has been through a few names, talking about some serious double denim jams. They talked about U2’s back catalogue with a podcast
-
From Singapore, named after a Final Fantasy character, and making the kind of music that feels like it was artificially created by grafting the echoes of the literal internet to a young person’s DNA in some experiment that we haven’t worked out if it’s cruel or not, there’s no-one quite like Yeule. Is it tech

CAOILFHIONN ROSE DOES IT AGAIN
Caoilfhionn Rose is one of the most original and brilliant voices in modern acid folk, and her newest track ‘Rainfall’ feels like just the tonic for a cure to the wintertime blues. It’s a shimmering, hazy, psychedelic slice of loveliness and, for anyone who has heard her music before, that will come as no surprise…

FREE RANGE JAN 24
Not every day is a new day. Sometimes, you just have to accept that, but then remember that there’s things we forgot to mention. Like our latest radio show, which came out recently. It’s not time sensitive, so you can listen to it whenever you like. Great music from all over the world, with an…

GRAZIA / GLAM GARAGE PUNK
Grazia are an indie garage glam punk pop band from London, and they’ve got a stomper out called ‘Cheap’, which tells you everything you need to know about what’s coming when you press play. And it’s great fun! Their debut EP is out in Feb, and that’s called ‘In Poor Taste’ – catching the vibe…

GET ON THIS ANA TIJOUX NUMBER
The amount of non-English performers making waves worldwide is incredibly satisfying to see, because frankly, it’s weird to only listen to music you understand the words of. You telling us that everyone could understand the opening verse of ‘Geno’ when it first came out? Behave yourselves. Anyway, let’s have a listen to the new one…
