WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you know Aldous Harding, you probably already love her and that headline is of absolutely zero surprise to you. That said, this won’t stop us from getting all excited about new music and sharing it. This new one is a gorgeous piece of music that drops into a lovely little groove and we don’t…

We’ve featured Green-House on our pages a couple of times now, and we’re thrilled to share even more music as we’re completely rapt. They have a new album coming out on Ghostly International and to celebrate that, a second single has been issued which we’re completely in love with called ‘Under The Oak’. The new…

Things appear online and you just have to admire people’s ability to find stuff and share it with everyone without wanting recompense. Here then, we have one of the finest videos we’ve seen – a funk, gospel and soul revue from 1970 which stars Tina Turner, Five Stairsteps, Edwin Hawkins Singers, The Isley Brothers, The…

We are big fans of PinkPantheress here, and her album ‘Fancy That’ has rightly got a shedload of plaudits and enthusiasts. And then came the remixes, which were also a whole load of fun too! Well, now there’s a Four Tet remix which is a energetic little affair and not two artists we’d immediately put…

You need to be on the ball to keep up with JME as he doesn’t really do things like anyone else. Name another MC that stopped performing while they made money selling hoverboards. Right. Well, he’s put out a new hot banger, and he’s all out of track names. No fuss, no drama, no promo…

Fun, wholesome albums are hard to get behind a lot of the time, because they can sound insincere and wishy-washy in an environment where pop is required to be overtly sexy or have some kind of grievance. However, with Hilary Duff’s new album, she’s super easy to root for. She’s embraced the memes, she’s nostalgia…

Did you hear that Gnarls Barkley are getting back together and releasing their final LP? You probably did. Well, if you heard and just want to listen to the new track from CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse, scroll down. If you didn’t hear the news, the album will be called ‘Atlanta’, and it’ll be out March 6th,…

Tom Jenkinson AKA Squarepusher is releasing a new record which will be his SIXTEENTH release – impressive stuff. Of course, you can hear a new song from it below to whet your whistle while you wait for the whole thing. The album is called ‘Kammerkonzert’ and is out on April 10th on Warp. While you may…

It can be a heavy thing carrying a famous name, and that’s what the Womack Sisters have to deal with, what with them being the nieces of the legendary Bobby, BG, Zeimani, and Kucha Womack respectively. The girls have signed to Daptone and have a new single out called ‘You Went Away Too Long’, which…

In 1984, legendary alternative pop show The Tube decided to go to Berlin to see what was happening. The Cold War was looming large and the hipsters were out en masse – some of them dressing up like the Gestapo and vicars, as well as the classic Goth Punk looks of the time. Muriel Gray…

REST EASY, AMP FIDDLER
One of the finest to do it, one of Detroit’s finest musicians, Amp Fiddler has sadly passed away, aged 65. He’s been described as “the king of the new era of Detroit soul”, and his music incorporated a number of influences and styles, from honey-dipped electronics, to hard funk, to soul, hip hop, house, collaborating…

LOST BOB MARLEY SONG / LISTEN
Fans of Bob Marley – listen to a previously lost song from the iconic singer-songwriter. The previously unreleased track is called ‘Selassie is the Chapel’, and don’t expect a party jam – this is a spiritual number, rich in harmonies. It’s good. You’ll like it. It was first recorded in ’68 and you can get…

GHLOW HIT HARD WITH NEWIE
Swedish pair GHLOW have announced a new album which will be called ‘Levitate’ and out in March. That’s all well and good, but can we listen to something first? Course we can! That’s precisely why we’ve done this piece. The new song is called ‘Big City’ and it’s a bit of a face-melter. Super fuzz,…
