WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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…

Yes! Mclusky are back! Of course, they’re the most clever-clever knuckleheads who ever graced a bleeding earhole, which means their fans can err on the side of very devoted, but shurrup, they’re fuckin’ dynamite and it’s great they’re back! Back how? Well, with an absolute glorious racket, they’ve put out their first music in a…

John Carpenter is twiddling the knobs again, with Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies on a new version of his ’69th St Bridge’ which of course, was first heard on his ‘Escape To New York’. It’s a chunky, gnarly little number that will tickle the pickle of anyone who is into fun, sparse synth music. There’s…

When the tabloids went after George Michael, it was an appalling act of pettiness and spitefulness that saw him outed, not that his legions of fans cared about who he was fucking. So, it was a coup de grâce for George to tackle the whole thing head-on with his next single, ‘Outside’, where he gave…

Jamila Woods, for our money, is sorely underrated in the R&B game. She rarely missed and, in welcome news for our ears, she’s back with a great new song called ‘Good News’. There’ll be a new LP called ‘Water Made Us’ on October 13th, and if it’s anything like her last one ‘LEGACY! LEGACY!’, we’re…

GET EXCITED / LOGIC1000
No music genre ever really goes away, but when there’s a blossoming of interest, it’s always worth keeping an eye on those artists within who are keeping things moving and interesting. And so, to Logic1000 who is making some of the coolest house music on the planet right now – experimental in places, but accessible…

BRIAN ENO SHARES EMOTIONAL THING
There’s a new track from Brian Eno, who you’ll know as That Guy From Roxy Music or Ambient Man. It’s called ‘All I Remember’ and you might not need more information than this, so head to the bottom of the page to press play. For those that like reading, this track is about some of…

NIA ARCHIVES WITH DNB NEWIE
There’s something of a drum ‘n’ bass resurgence afoot, going back to it’s gritty realism after a lot of… well… Chase & Status stadiumstep. With that, Nia Archives who is waiting to drop their full length debut album next month (‘Silence Is Loud’, for the record) has released a single which reminds us of classic…

REVIEW / KACEY MUSGRAVES / A DEEPER WELL
There’s so many things to love about Kacey Musgraves. She was one of the few who made country that felt genuinely modern and progressive, in a sea of pretty chewy stadium country, and with her peers, she mined a more reflective, cosmic, liberal country without painting her views in such gaudy, broad strokes, that it…
