WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We wondered if Wolf Alice were coming back. Well, turns out they were and they have a new single out which is really cool and has a whiff of NYC Cuban music about it, which is never a bad thing! The single is called ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ and it’ll appear on new album ‘The Clearing’.
-
They’ve been on tour with hot new Alt Country thing, MJ Lenderman, so it won’t surprise anyone who hasn’t heard of Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band are cut from a very similar cloth, making fun slacker country music for lads who drink PBR and chong weed vapes. Hailing from Kentucky, Ryan Davis and his

Tchotchke are one of the finest power pop, bubblegum groups around. You heard their Lemon Twigs produced LP? If not, remedy that, stat. They have a cool new single out called ‘Did You Hear?’ which has been dipped in sugar and is all kinds of wonderful. Enough yapping – press play already.

Everyone’s favourite ’90s crush, Evan Dando, is back as The Lemonheads with the first bit of properly new music in almost 20 years. He’s still being tuneful, slackerish, and a general bohemian dreamboat, of course. He’s teamed up with J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr as well as Lemonhead cohort Juliana Hatfield and it’ll all feel
-
Born in Guinea, but now residing in lovely Margate, Falle Nioke is being the irrepressible multi-instrumental and fine-voiced artist with a new song out that is well worth your time and your ears for listening. Nioke has announced a debut LP which is called ‘Love From Under The Sea’, which you’ll be able to hear

Daryl Hall’s transition into grumpy old dude continues apace. After airing his dirty underpants with the fallout of the dissolution of the Hall & Oates partnership – which he could have done quietly and left us to enjoy the tunes – he’s now turned his irritation toward the term ‘Yacht Rock’. Now, before we crack

Now that the acid-casual parents have children old enough to be going out to clubs themselves, it’s fun to think about intergenerational happenings on the the dancefloors of the UK, with mum and son going halves on some pills. With that, there’s a new track out which will be a bridge between “I used to
-
There’s been a helluva lot of dreamy, pastel-hued music released over the last decade, perhaps in direction opposition to the spiky turmoil of the broader world at large… or perhaps it’s the resurgence of psychedelic drugs? Either way, it’s easy to get vibe-fatigue and wish someone would write a chorus. While we’ve found ourselves wanting
-
Cosey Fanni Tutti is a legend, of course, so it is great to report that there’s a new track for you to get stuck into, which has been taken from the forthcoming new album ‘2t2’, which you’ll be able to hear in full June 13th. A nine-track album, performed and composed entirely by herself, it
-
Whether Arcade Fire like it or not, there won’t be many reviews about their new LP that fails to mention the accusations against Win Butler’s alleged sexual misconduct. As its been so well reported elsewhere, we’re going to focus on the music contained within latest releas, ‘Pink Elephant’, even if there’s a nagging send of

NEW BOSSA JAZZ YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE
If you’re into bossa nova and cool jazz, then we’ve got some good news for you! You don’t have to ferret around looking for old LPs (as nice as that is), because in January, there’s a new one that’ll tickle your pickle. Called ‘The Room’, the cut is by Brazilian guitarist Fabiano do Nascimento and…

TELL YOUR MUM THE LEMONHEADS ARE DOING STUFF
The Lemonheads are coming back and your mum is going to be thrilled. Or maybe you’re the thrilled mum? We don’t use mum in a derogatory way, like only stoopid girls like Evan Dando’s music, because women have always had impeccable taste in music and, it’s no secret that Dando’s brand of jangly indie is a…

INDIE SLEAZE COMEBACK / THE GOSSIP RETURN
Remember Indie Sleaze? You should, because a load of people who loved it an university and sixth form are now the age where they’re editing music pages in broadsheets and making documentaries and all that, so it’s about to go full-blown-revival. The fashion was chaotic and fun, and there were some decent tunes in there…

GOOD GOD THIS CAKES DA KILLA TRACK IS GOOD
If you’ve been jonesing for that breakneck Missy-esque beat of yesteryear with a quick flow skating over the top, you’re about to have a real good time with this new one from Cakes Da Killa. Clubby as hell, ‘Cakewalk’ takes some inspo from calling out the mess that someone’s partner has created. They say: “‘Cakewalk’…
