WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We nearly put a wrong photo on this article to see if anyone was paying attention, but that’s way too needy isn’t it? Instead, we’re just going to embed the video without too much ceremony. Besides, you’ve probably already worked out whether you like James Blake or not and we’re not going to influence you…

Geoff Barrow surprised everyone with a new album from his Beak> project which is fun! It also comes with some surprise tour dates for those of you who love a pint and some live music. It’s the first new stuff in six years, and if you know what the previous LPs were called, then you’ll…

Hey punkheads – there’s new music from Amyl & The Sniffers! There’s a couple of tracks for you to get your teeth into. In a bid to remind you that music is something to actively participate in, rather than passively soak up, we’re only sharing one of the songs so you can go find the…

Bab L’Bluz are one of the most exciting and fresh rock groups on planet earth right now. A wonderful mix of psychedelic rock and North African music, their ‘Nayda!’ album is a modern masterpiece and a firm favourite here at THEPOPCORPS, and exactly the kind of album you’ll casually put on the turntable and have…
-
There’s a number of bigger bands releasing stuff at the minute and they don’t need the promo and we’re not going to steal any traffic from the NME, so what’s the point? Instead, we’re all excited about DJ JakoJako’s new one called ‘Modus’. It’s a clicky, menacing, fun piece of techno which is no surprise…

Look, we can’t lie – we think a lot of shoegaze and grunge is pretty crappy, and the newer versions of them that’s been doing the rounds hasn’t been too great either. Now, that’s not to say that there isn’t excellent shoegaze and grunge old and new – far from it. However, it’s all a…

It can be confusing trying to keep up with genres and all that, and you can’t be expected to keep up with everything we’re saying. No drama. See, BANDSPLAINING is the finest channel on YouTube doing deep dives on cool shit and well researched, whip smart and fun. Looking at 2010s music, this video we’re…

Peggy Gou is a goodtime producer and the South Korean DJ and music-maker has a new bop out which is perfect for the incoming good weather. It’s called ‘Lobster Telephone’ (inspired by the Dali piece, you’d assume) and is taken from her imminent debut LP on XL Records called ‘I Hear You’. Of the new…

The Balearics have long been a destination for partygoers and obviously, that comes with its own unique set of problems. Notably, the problems come in the shape of people drinking too much in the lovely weather and then passing out in the street, puking on street corners, getting in scraps and falling asleep in clubs.…

ShyGirl is releasing a remix EP which has some great remixers on it, and that is always good for the soul! It’s called Club Shy EP and features one of our favourites Logic1000 (who released one of our favourite albums of 2024), as well as VTSS, X-Coast, and Fedde Le Grand, and others. You’ll be…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

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…

NEW BROADCAST ALBUMS
Anyone with good taste will tell you just how much they love Broadcast and how sadly missed they are. Of course, the band ended with the untimely death of Trish Keenan, but for people who love them, there’s good news. Broadcast have announced that they’re going to release some new music – they say it’ll…

MORE NEW KHRUANGBIN
Look, not everything Khruangbin release is absolute gold, but it sure is lovely to have them around with their soulful, gently psychedelic twang, and handily for us, they have a new song out called ‘Pon Pón’. This is another song that is taken from their upcoming album called ‘A La Sala’. We featured the other…
