WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
It may have been released in February, but the chances of English readers being all. Over Biche’s magnificent album are slim, and an album doesn’t need to be fresh off the grill to get excited about. Fact is, it’s so hard to make original music in 2025, that when a band arrives that sound like…

For fans of ’60s psychedelic rock, the Electric Prunes were always one of the more unique and brilliant groups. Their ‘Underground’ LP captured the eeriness of the West Coast counter-culture scene of the time, and their music endured. From ‘Get Me To The World On Time’ and ‘I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night’,…

We have waxed lyrical about the music of Cheapskate before, and with the new single, we’re going to do it all over again. Cheapskate’s music is everything that you love about noirish Brit jazz, ’70s library music and now, with all the sun-soaked bliss of Mediterranean funk and analogue synth bits. ‘The Sea’ is smooth…
-
The term ‘scream queen’ gets thrown around a lot, and often semi-unfairly – but there’s no denying the fact that anyone who stumbled out of seeing ‘In A Violent Nature’ knew that, in Andrea Pavlovic, there was a real talent afoot. The emotional maturity which she met such a grisly task, it isn’t surprising that…
-
For all of the ills of YouTube and it’s relentless algorithm meddling, it’s still one of the best platforms for independent creators doing great things. This video is a mix of some pals hanging out, eating food, free styling, singing, playing tracks and generally being good for the soul. You need to press play on…

Andy Shauf is in a band called Foxwarren and they’ve got a new song out called ‘Deadhead’, and like most things involving Shauf, it’s power-poppy, catchy, fun and all that good stuff. However, you NEED to see the video for the new track because it’s a slice of real oddball silliness. Almost like a Tim…
-
‘Lord Willin’ is an all-timer of a rap LP, so it is worth getting excited that Pusha T and No Malice have started to roll-out the new stuff for their reunion. There’s a new LP called ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ which, brilliantly, seems to be a Marge Simpson quote. The first new album in over a decade,…
-
Lorde’s new roll-out has been a pretty interesting one, with impromptu parties and such, and now a new song called ‘Man of the Year’, which is emotionally exposing in more than one way in the new video. Of the new LP – ‘Virgin’ – she’s sharing a new video where she throws herself wholeheartedly into…
-
Look, we know Boiler Room kinda stinks – but when they do it right, they’re one of the best in the business against your better judgement. With that, in what feels like old Internet, giving you something totally unique, regional, and new, Ethiopian Records did a Boiler Room set and it’s an instant classic. New…

When Drugdealer are on form, they’re irresistible. Weyes Blood is one of the finest artists on the planet right now. Add the two together? Magic. Of course, this is not the first collaboration between these two things, but this new track is a welcome return from some time out for both, and Weyes Blood is…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

STOP MAKING SENSE (AGAIN)
The hipster’s faves A24 are doing something. They’re doing something with the hipster’s faves, Talking Heads. And it involves Paramore too. Man, people are probably doing social media posts saying ‘I’M SCREAMING’ and ‘ACTUALLY SOBBING’ and all that jarring bullshit, aren’t they? Not to say that this won’t be a heap of fun, mind you.…

SHEER MAG HAVE A GIGANTIC BANGER ON THEIR HANDS
It’s really great when you can hear how much ambition there is in a song. We’re not talking about tedious effort, but rather, someone really really trying to make something fantastic. And that’s exactly what we’re feeling about the new one from Sheer Mag, which is a massive pop-indie stomper. It’s called ‘Moonstruck’ and honestly,…

WHY DO WE NEED TAYLOR SWIFT TO BE GAY?
Right now, we’ve never had so many gay and queer people in the world. Think of the past – it was outlawed, then we had people dying of AIDS, and rampant homophobia saw that when gay people weren’t hiding, they were dying. Society has progressed however, and now we’re afforded the beautiful site of openly…

TY SEGALL LIKES DOGS
Ty Segall likes dogs. Everyone likes dogs don’t they? Handy really, as Ty’s new song is about exactly that. You get a points deduction if you said ‘do you like dogs’ in that voice that Brad Pitt does in that film, by the way. You’re better than that, c’mon. Anyway, this new song is called…
