  • REVIEW / MALIBU / VANITIES

    When music lacks the usual verse-chorus-verse, it’s difficult to explain why you like it. Like a good techno album, you’re found waving your hands around and saying “I dunno – it just works and it’s all great!”, as you try and pinpoint various sections that made your brain fizz. Likewise, when faced with ambient music,…

  • FCUKERS WITH A BANGER

    Fcukers aren’t exactly Too Cool To Smile In Photos, but they have a similar vibe as they seem like the kind of kids who know where all the cool parties are, and you find out about them a full six months after they got bored of them. Either way, they’ve put a new song out…

  • PINKPANTHERESS REMIX LP

    The PinkPantheress really surprised us by how much we enjoyed it. It’s a potted history of UK dance music, shot through a bubblegum pop lens, and top to bottom, the whole thing is infectious as hell. Well, there’s a remix album of ‘Fancy That’ which is a star-studden affair. Better still is that you won’t…

  • LITTLE DRAGON, SOLO

    Forgive the mildly clickbait headline, but there’s a chance you recognise the name Little Dragon and don’t know the members of it. Lead singer from the project, Yukimi, has got some solo bits out. Seeing as Little Dragon were pretty great, then this is good news for fans of them, right? This track – ‘All…

  • MATT BERRY’S BRILLIANT SYNTH AD

    Matt Berry, real heads know, is a fabulous musician as well as a fine comedic actor. Killer psych, folk, and remakes of tricksy TV themes – he’s our kinda guy! Well, you need to see an advert he’s made for Telepathic Instruments with Jermaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords fame. What a dream pairing…

  • NARDWUAR SNEAKERS

    Nardwuar might just be the nicest interviewer on the planet, with his deep dives and enthusiasm paired with his DIY aesthetic.

  • G-A-Y WAVES BYE TO SOHO

    Nightlife is changing in the UK, and not for the better. Everything being more expensive is hurting businesses and customers alike, resulting in fewer people wanting to go out, and ultimately, it’s our sense of community and literal togetherness is lost. Another legend is closing their doors as G-A-Y in Soho have said that it…

  • REVIEW / TAYLOR SWIFT / THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL

    When you’re fully in the lore of standom, every utterance from your favourite artist is either an in-joke, or breadcrumbs to follow for some deeper meaning. And that’s where we’re at with the stratospherically successful Taylor Swift who, in terms of ticket sales and hit records, can basically do no wrong. However, what if you’re…

STOP HOARDING TUNES


  • STANS NEED TO CHECK THEMSELVES

    We’ve all felt that unswerving love for an artist that makes us want to leap to their defence at the mere mention of their name, because you’re bored of everyone slagging them off. Hashing it out down the pub is one of music’s great theatrical events, but thanks to terminally online culture, lines can be…

  • CAOILFHIONN ROSE DOES IT AGAIN

    Caoilfhionn Rose is one of the most original and brilliant voices in modern acid folk, and her newest track ‘Rainfall’ feels like just the tonic for a cure to the wintertime blues. It’s a shimmering, hazy, psychedelic slice of loveliness and, for anyone who has heard her music before, that will come as no surprise…

  • FREE RANGE JAN 24

    Not every day is a new day. Sometimes, you just have to accept that, but then remember that there’s things we forgot to mention. Like our latest radio show, which came out recently. It’s not time sensitive, so you can listen to it whenever you like. Great music from all over the world, with an…

  • GRAZIA / GLAM GARAGE PUNK

    Grazia are an indie garage glam punk pop band from London, and they’ve got a stomper out called ‘Cheap’, which tells you everything you need to know about what’s coming when you press play. And it’s great fun! Their debut EP is out in Feb, and that’s called ‘In Poor Taste’ – catching the vibe…
