WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Take these things with a pinch of salt, but it seems like there’s been a leak of The Beatles 2025 mix of ‘Free As A Bird’. It appeared on Instagram, promptly vanished, but not before some people grabbed it and uploaded it to YouTube. If this is the real deal, then predictably, John Lennon’s vocal…

We’re really excited about the imminent LP from Tchotchke. Not only was their last album one of our all-time favourites, the new stuff sounds just as brilliant! They’re an absolute marvel live, so we’re hoping they’ll be doing shows this side of the pond, and that we’ll be able to land the vinyl of the…

Eagle eyed Beatle fans had noticed that, on Spotify, ‘Free As A Bird’ suddenly had the addition of ‘(1995 Mix)’, which got everyone muttering. This obviously meant that there was going to be an updated mix, presumably employing the improved sound separation technology we saw with the ‘Now And Then’ single. seems to be hinting…

‘Baybee’ by Jay Som is a favourite at ThePopCorps, and so we’ve always kept an eye out for new music. Luckily for us, there’s the first new album in 6 years coming our way! And things are a smidge different this time ’round. October will see the release of ‘Belong’, but for now, we’ve got…

You know something? It’s really great to hear someone yell their head off on a rap track. It’s all been a bit xannied out for a while, or sad-boi, lonely-at-the-top ‘tune, and it’s little wonder people have been gravitating toward a bit of personality and spark. And so, to Sudan Archives’ new one, ‘Ms Pac…

It must be horrible when people ask you what your songs mean, and so to Jack Cooper’s Modern Nature who have a new song out called ‘Alpenglow’. Apparently, according to Cooper, the track is named after “an optical phenomenon and the name given to the colours around a setting sun. It ties in with the…

Do you like dancing? Do you like pure, joyful things? Do you like a familiar sample, given a fresh twist? You’re going to love this new track from Bakar. Do not hesitate on pressing play on this.

What is MGK, or Machine Gun Kelly, if you prefer. To most, he’s that tattooed guy in the gossip columns who says things like he’s ‘part alien’, and seemed to be in a relationship with Megan Fox that screamed ‘we saw you across the room, liked your vibe, and would you like to come back…

When people acting in bad faith start complaining about pop going woke, it’s funny to think about how political pop used to be and just how much politicians hated people who spoke out about them. John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a literal FBI file on them and Elvis snitched to Nixon about the pair,…

Kaytranada is great – everyone knows that. So it is great news that there’s new music to sink our teeth into, right? Well, there’s going to be a new LP called ‘Aint No Damn Way!’ on Friday! That’s tomorrow! Surprise! To whet the appetite, here’s the boogie neon gem ‘Space Invader’ to listen to. A…

WHAT’S THE THING WITH GEESE?
Geese shot to fame seemingly overnight, which can only mean one thing – we must don our tinfoil hats and assume something is up. Or at least, that’s what the vibe is currently amongst the chattering indie classes, who think this must be some ‘industry plant’ thing going on, or in one instance, that the…

MADONNA IS BACK ON THE DANCEFLOOR
Madonna promised that she’d be leading us back to the club (where you can dance – for inspiration, c’mon!) when she said a sequel to the mighty Confessions of a Dancefloor was coming our way. Well, now it is totally official, with ‘Confessions II’ getting released on July 3rd. And there’s a teaser to whet…

OFFICAL / BOARDS OF CANADA ARE BACK
Well, we told you that Boards of Canada had started dropping clues, and now it seems official that they are indeed back, having uploaded a video to their official channels (as have Warp Records) simply called ‘Tape 5’. The clip is similar to the VHS cassettes that had been sent to a select few, except…

FUNKY PSYCH FROM SPACEMOTH
We’re new to Spacemoth and on the strength of the new track, we’ve been missing out! Spacemoth is actually Maryam Qudus who is out on the West Coast of the US, and is a producer as well as a fine musician. There’s a new album coming out called ‘Inward Eye’ which you can get stuck into…
