WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Justice have a new single out and it’s called ‘Saturnine’ and features R&B singer Miguel. We’re desperately trying to avoid comparing Justice to Daft Punk and this song to their work with Pharrell, but we just typed that sentiment out, so maybe we’re failing not only ourselves, but the work of Justice too. Anyway, seeing…

We can all fall foul of listening to something talking about their mental health issues and meanly talking about self indulgence, as some enormo star talks about how lonely they’ve felt in their condo, but sincerely, there was a moment in Logic1000’s timeline where it looked like we were going to watch her vanish completely…

Anyone with good taste will tell you just how much they love Broadcast and how sadly missed they are. Of course, the band ended with the untimely death of Trish Keenan, but for people who love them, there’s good news. Broadcast have announced that they’re going to release some new music – they say it’ll…

Look, not everything Khruangbin release is absolute gold, but it sure is lovely to have them around with their soulful, gently psychedelic twang, and handily for us, they have a new song out called ‘Pon Pón’. This is another song that is taken from their upcoming album called ‘A La Sala’. We featured the other…

“No-one’s going to read this”. That’s what Louis Walsh said of the hugely popular and brilliant book about pop music, written by pop superfan and oracle, Michael Cragg. To most pop fans, this wasn’t especially surprising, because there’d always been something off about Walsh according to anyone who had eyes and ears. He’s back in…

Willie Nelson played a show in Texas and Kermit the Frog came on stage and they sang ‘Rainbow Connection’ together. Honestly, what more do you need to hear? It’s just about the most wholesome thing you’re going to see. Press play, and marvel at the detail of the puppeteers when they position Kermit’s hand like…

Honey Gentry makes some of the coolest, dreamiest pop on the planet, so just as spring is trying to fight it’s way out of our second winter, we’re treated to a new song which aches of sunnier days. ‘Mykonos’ is out today on your favourite platform and is a breathy, lighter than air number to…

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…

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…

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…

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…

DAVID NANCE GARAGE JANGLE
David Nance (careful with the spelling of his surname there) & Mowed Sound have a new song out and, on first impression, we like it. It’s called ‘Mock The Hours’ and it’s a mix of garage goodness and jangly roots pop. He’s from Omaha we gather, and this is his first with new group Mowed…
