WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Flo Milli – purveyor of very fun shit – has a new album due, and to celebrate that fact, there’s a new track for you to listen to. Two things – 1. It’s called ‘Fruit Loop’; 2. The video looks like a pre-recorded SNL bit. With Ice Spice shaking her ass in the deli, and

Remember we told you The Linda Lindas were bringing back fun punk? Well, they’re back again, but this time with something even heavier. And, mercifully, even more fun. When we say fun, we mean Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fun. We want to load the second instalment of the game up with all the cheats loaded,

Here we go! We’ve been needing hip hop to get a bit of a kick in the pants and this Jersey sound is just the thing to do it. With that, a new track that you need to get your lugs ’round. It’s by MCVERTT and features Sexxy Red and A$AP Ferg and called ‘Face
-
Now that Daft Punk are a thing of the past, they’ve allowed some of their human side out with a look behind the scenes. A while ago, they shared some bits with Julian Casablancas that we can’t remember if we shared or not, and now, there’s more! They’re releasing a video series on YouTube called

Even though Ride referred to their 1994 LP ‘Carnival of Light’ as “Carnival of Shite”, and being a departure from their usual jangle of noise and shoegaze, many fans regard it a lesser work. The Pop Corporation disagrees, and disagrees hard. You see, back in ’94, Britpop was kicking in and a number of groups

Perhaps it’s testament to Outkast that any new genre-blurring rap group that emerges immediately makes us think of them. The latest group who are surely getting tickled with that brush are young hot-shots, Paris Texas. That’s nothing to do with the film of the same name, so calm down country boys. It appears that Paris

You’ll know Phil Hartman whether you know it or not. He was the voice of Simpsons character Troy McClure, Lionel Hutz, Duff Man and more. He was a pivotal member of the SNL cast, and featured in a number of movies and all that good stuff. Normally, any piece about Hartman soon moves into the

If you’re not following Mystery Discs on YouTube, you’re denying yourself one of the most brilliant and unusual record collections on the planet. With the tagline ‘obscure records are fun’, you’ll find high school bands and amateur outfits performing shaky, gorgeous heartfelt music, Steely Dan covers, big jazz, wonkiness and loads of magic treasure that

It’s poor form to liken a new artist to a legend straight off the bat, but there’s a wriggling, unescapable something about Ava Rocha that reminds us of Gal Costa. Gal, is of course, one of the most legendary artists to come out of Brazil and the Tropicalia movement, so no pressure Ava. However, while

DO FRIDAY MUSIC RELEASES SUCK?
If you saw Nardwuar’s interview with Tyler The Creator, something may have jumped out at you. He mentioned how much he hated music getting released on a Friday. He said: “We should put music out again on Tuesdays instead of Fridays” “I know people think because of the weekend they can listen and stuff, and…

COCO & CLAIR CLAIR RMX
Coco & Clair Clair may have been the first LP we reviewed this site (we’re not checking – it’s better to go with your gut) and we loved it. The bitchiest you-can’t-sit-with-us BratHop album ever recorded. If you’re not on it, you’re missing out. Anyway, we’ve just stumbled across a deluxe edition of their brilliant…

NEW PSYCH FROM HOT GARBAGE
Update your psych playlists, because Hot Garbage have just released a fuzz-doom monster that’ll tickle all your various pickles! Hailing from Toronto, Hot Garbage are getting ready for the release of the next LP ‘Precious Dream’, and you’ll be able to grab that on January 19th. January is always good for underground releases, as all…

LAETITIA SADIER SOLO
Hey Stereolab fans! Good news for you. Laetitia Sadier has announced a solo album called ‘Rooting For Love’. That’ll be out in February 2024 via Drag City (they’re a cool label aren’t they? Yep. They are) and it’ll be her first since her 2017 outing, which has a long name that we can’t be bothered…
