WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Being honest, FKA Twigs can be a little frustrating musically BUT it is always interesting, and she definitely means it man, so we shouldn’t let our personal tastes get in the way of the sheer enjoyment of having her around. Anyway, there’s a new track called ‘Eusexua’, co-pro’d by Twigs herself with Koreless and Eartheater.

Legend of US roots rock and cosmic country, JD Souther has left the building aged of 78. Souther was best known for co-writing some of the Eagles biggest smashes – ‘Heartache Tonight’ and ‘New Kid In Town’, and he also worked with Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Christopher Cross, and the Chicks. Souther was

Supergrass have announced that they’re going to tour ‘I Should Coco’ in full, but the statement includes a very fun jab at Oasis and the promise of non-Coco hits too. Let us explain. They’re going to celebrate the anniversary of ‘I Should Coco’ which includes the perfect ‘Lenny’, and of course, smash hit ‘Alright’, by

The longest face in pop music is at it again, using the classic grift of being ‘gagged’ and everyone apparently being against them. Seeing as Morrissey has been saying problematic stuff since the mid ’80s, you’ve only yourself to blame for any feelings of disappointment you have as a Smiths fan. While Johnny Marr manages

A new album from Looking Suite is as welcome as throwing the windows open in the middle of gorgeous weather, and as we waddle out of Summer and into Autumn, we find ourselves pressing play on ‘Wide Range Dream State’ – the newest long player from our favourite ambient, post-noodle, neo-prog leaning guy. Released on

TSHA has a new song out called ‘Green’ and its ace! It’s a dancer, but it’s an emotional affair too – just what we like to see! There’s nothing quite like an emotional banger, right? She says: “Me and my partner were in the studio together, about to write something. He was getting on my nerves,

A little while ago, there was a spate of records and acts that were kinda miserable, but anthemic with it. It wasn’t exactly Grunge 2.0, but emotional lyrics and crunchy guitars were definitely back. One of the better artists from this period was Soccer Mommy, who as it happens, is back with a new song!

Men I Trust – it’s been a while. The last thing they put out was back in 2021 when they released their ‘Untourable Album’, which went down very well with everyone. Of course, there’s been dribs and drabs, and last year they put out the ace ‘Ring of Past’, but now, they’re back with a

The Green Child are an Aussie group that went from two members to four (apologies for the old picture, then) and they have a really cool new single out called ‘Wow Factor’ which reminds us of loads of good stuff made by loads of other cool and unique bands. Seriously, we’re into it! There’s a

Vince Guaraldi’s work with the soundtrack on the Peanuts cartoons is rightly the stuff of legend. Achingly cool and whistleable jazz, bopping away under the utterly charming and razor sharp voice work from the Shultz created characters, which obviously include Snoopy and the mighty Charlie Brown. Re-discovered in the vaults is the somewhat timely ‘You’re

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…
