WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The wonderful thing about ageing is the acknowledgment of the relentless passing of time. Your knees start hurting. Your sleep is disturbed because you need to get up in the middle of the night to pee. You can end up in a full body brace because your sock was folded slightly oddly in your shoe,…

Cami Layé Okún is one of the finest and funnest DJs around right now. Playing music from Cuba (and elsewhere, but you need a hook, right?) she’s all about that rhythm and sunshine melody! This is not so much a piece where we need to write a great deal – basically, go follow her on…

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…

What’s the deal here? A music blog, being launched in a time when blogging is absolutely dead, especially trying to cover music? What’s the point in that? Well, call it a labour of love. Call it foolhardiness. Call it what you want, but the chances of this making any money is basically nil, and thankfully,…

STOREFRONT CHURCH – GREAT BAROQUE POP
We didn’t know anything about Storefront Church, but we recognise a cool band name when we see one. It’s the moniker of Lukas Frank who is on tour with Laetitia Sadier who you’ll know from Stereolab. There’s a new song out we really like called ‘The High Room’, which is a gem of a baroque…

MANCHESTER LAGOS AND ME
Music documentaries don’t always have to be about hugely famous people – in fact, a number of the best ones are those that teach you something new. With that, there’s a new flick coming out which looks great called ‘See My World: Manchester, Lagos & Me’ which is a short film looking at the “cultural…

JUSTICE VS MIGUEL
Justice have a new single out and it’s called ‘Saturnine’ and features R&B singer Miguel. We’re desperately trying to avoid comparing Justice to Daft Punk and this song to their work with Pharrell, but we just typed that sentiment out, so maybe we’re failing not only ourselves, but the work of Justice too. Anyway, seeing…

REVIEW / LOGIC1000 / MOTHER
We can all fall foul of listening to something talking about their mental health issues and meanly talking about self indulgence, as some enormo star talks about how lonely they’ve felt in their condo, but sincerely, there was a moment in Logic1000’s timeline where it looked like we were going to watch her vanish completely…
