WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

We’re generally not that fussed about Caribou, but you might like them and Dan Snaith seems like a nice fella, so here’s the news of a new single for you to listen to. It’s a sprightly affair and goes by the name of ‘Broke My Heart’. We’ve just looked into it and it seems there…

Yune Pinku makes some of the best house adjacent bops around right now, and she’s done a remixes for the super hot talent Rachel Chinouriri, which is a bit of a dream match-up honestly. Pinku features on a lot of our end-of-year lists and Chinouriri is someone we’re keeping an eye on, so if that’s…

We’re still really into the fact that there’s a musical outfit called Illuminati Hotties. What a fantastic thing to have people saying in record stores and the like. The fact it is one person is even better. Anyway, she’s announced her new LP called ‘Power’ which will be out in August and there’s a new…

Nadine Shah has confirmed that she’s NOT playing at Glastonbury this year, which isn’t particularly interesting news in of itself. However, their reasons for doing so, is. She’s said that it’s too expensive to play at as an artist. She tweeted: “The rumours are untrue. I am NOT playing @glastonbury I would have liked to…

Confidence Man are just about the most fun group on the planet, bringing back the campness of ’90s clubland and handbag and gyrating through live shows with light-up bras and spitting blood – they really deserve to be so much bigger than they are, and honestly, they’re packing out big ol’ rooms so it all…

How much does it cost to put an album out? Let’s assume, for the sake of this article, that you’re focusing solely on streaming and that physical format production is a luxury most independent bands can’t afford in this cost of living crisis we’re all currently in. Okay, good. Making an album probably seems incredibly…

Candie Payne’s ‘I Wish I Could Have Loved You More’ was one of the best albums of the Noughties, melding pop with ace ’60s girl group pop and noirish spy flick moodiness. These days, Candie is making art of a different stripe, but we’ve kept playing tracks like ‘All I Need To Hear’ and the…

if you’re in the market for some summery, retro, West Coast-ish yacht pop, you could do a lot worse than dig into the new track from Douglas A Benson. The track is called ‘On The Run’ and is taken from his forthcoming EP ‘Joys Of Growth’, which should land later in ’24. It’s going a…

If you love those ace LPs that spearheaded electronic music in the ’60s and ’70s, you’re going to love the imminent LP from the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble. It’s a debut LP called ‘Heat Ray: The Archimedes Project’ and it has made in collaboration with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. Apparently, it was inspired by…

Annie-Dog hails from Ireland and has a new single out and, honestly, we’ve not ever heard anything quite like it. That’s worth writing about in itself, because it’s incredibly difficult to be original in a landscape that has an algorithm that favours familiarity, and of course, decades of music using up most of the ideas…

SAVING BRISTOL SOUND SYSTEM MIXES
The sound system culture in the UK is arguably the most important movement in club culture since people started selling recreational drugs at music gatherings. Acid house, hip hop, drum ‘n’ bass, trip hop, grime, the top 40 – everyone owes a debt to the pop-up events that burst out over the country in the…

BE WITH LIBRARY MIX
Rob from the mighty Be With Records visited Sonoton at their offices in Munich. While there, recorded a super smart library mix which you can hear below. There’s chunky breaks, cinematic gems, synthy bits and all that good stuff that’ll have you scurrying off to Discogs and spending too much money again. Be With are…

CONGO FUNK!
If you’ve spent any time in the cool sections of any decent record shop, you’ll know that the Analog Africa crew but out an insanely high quality of LPs and have been doing for ages now. The latest is no exception, with a brilliant comp called Congo Funk! Sound Madness From The Shores Of The…

JAMC NEW SONG
The Jesus and Mary Chain have a new song out called ‘Girl 71’ and, as you’d hope, it’s a bit garage punk, it’s a bit dead-eyed and seething. However, it’s got a riff, which is a bit unusual for them, eh? Also, it’s a duet with Rachel Conte and it’s going to appear on their…
