WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We were watching an old clip of Motorhead playing on Top of the Pops, and that’s a fun thing all by itself… but someone else sprang out at us While the assembled crowd seemed mildly bewildered at the sight of adrenaline filled rock n roll in the studio, to the right of the stage in…

We wrote a glowing review of Rebecca Black’s last album. In one of the finest comebacks in pop, she went from being a reviled meme while a young girl performing the rather wonky ‘Friday’ (which honestly, sounds quite charming in the current climate) to making some of the fiercest, funnest pop on the planet. While…

Here’s our latest radio show, with music from Mexico, Mauritius, Poland, Algeria, Brazil, Germany, Cameroon, new bands, older ones… it’s great

‘Try Me’ by Dej Loaf was one of the best underground hip hop smashes when it was released back in 2014, and other hits followed. However, Dej kinda vanished for a while, quietly slipping away and presumably recalibrating. It seemed that, for all intents and purposes, she was done with The Industry. Well, lately, she’s…

The folk tradition is something that is always alive and well, and concerning The Unthanks, ever more so. Good news then, that they have a new double album coming out called ‘The Unthanks in Winter’. Appropriately you’ll be able to get hold of it and hear it on November 29th and there’s a song you…

Amyl and the Sniffers have a new video out and there’s a lot of nudity in it. It’s the kind of video that, if you’re getting your knickers in a twist about it, then you’re the kind of uptight tool that could probably do with a bit of skinny dipping to sort yourself out. First,…

Who doesn’t love a bit of library funk? Well, the ace folks at Be With are putting out Geoff Bastow’s (library legend) ‘Music To Varnish Owls By’, which honestly, is one of the finest album titles you’re likely to ever hear in your life. Thankfully, the music is every bit as good. This is one…

If you’re a fan of cute indie pop with a twist, you’re in luck. This here, is a new song from Mei Semones and we’re hearing flickers of bossa nova and jazz mixed into her sound. Mei released an EP earlier in the year called ‘Kabutomushi EP’ which regrettably, passed us by. We’re off to…

Look, we don’t know how this is new to us, but here’s a great video of Nirvana – pre Nevermind – playing in a Radio Shack and it’s adorable as hell. What else is left to say? Just watch the video already.
-
Sometimes, someone does the work for us and all we have to do is simply point you in the direction of it. In this instance, it’s an interesting enough video (which has pretty protestant tastes, but we’ll let it slide) about the death of the double album. Now, there are 2xLPs in existence now, but…

KATE BUSH IS COOL ISN’T SHE?
Kate Bush is great. What a treasure she is to have around. This was probably meant as an advert for Record Store Day (which is the Valentine’s Day for vinyl lovers, for better or worse), and the reissue of a Kate Bush track, which of course, we’ll talk about – but we’re more interested in…

NEW HANGING STARS
Everyone’s favourite cosmic cowboys, The Hanging Stars, are coming back with a new LP and that’s always great news. While many Nu Country outfits wander past the gorgeous, ethereal nature of much of country music, not this lot. The new album is called ‘On A Golden Shore’ and you’ll be able to get your hands…

BOOK: LATIN WOMEN’S INFLUENCE, ELECTRONICALLY
There’s a book coming out real soon that looks super interesting. We’re always in the market for learning something new, because who on earth can possibly know everything when it comes to music? The book looks at the pioneers of electronic music who were Latin American women, and it’s available to pre-order through Contingent Sounds…

SEABLITE VS RIDE [KINDA]
Have you heard of Seablite? We hadn’t, but they’ve had a remix from Andy Bell’s Glock project, and obviously, we like Ride so we pricked an ear. Seablite say: “It’s no secret that we are massive Ride fans and have also been following Andy Bell’s GLOK project and his collaborations with artists on remixes for…
