WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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
-
We’ve had the good fortune to see TOPS live and what a treat they were. Shimmering, psychedelic indie-pop that feels actively good for the soul. The good news is that they’re back! Apparently, they’ve got a new deal and with that, have released a new single called ‘ICU2’, and it features all the good stuff

SURPRISE NEW NONAME TRACK!
We’re big fans of NONAME who is someone who absolutely marches to the beat of her own drum, and she’s at it again with a surprise new track! Called ‘Hundred Acres’, it appeared on the algorithm which did its job for once, and as you’d expect, it’s smart as hell, funky, irresistible chorus, and is…

LANKUM WITH A HALLOWEEN TREAT
If you’ve heard ‘Dig My Grave’ by Lankum, you’re probably still a but spun out by it (or thunderously turned on if that’s you’re thing) and it’s gothic bedlam. Well, they’re at it again with a little treat for Halloween (and the general state of the world, sadly) with a unique take on ‘Ghost Town’…

KELLY LEE OWENS 132 TECHNO
Kelly Lee Owens is ace, especially when she’s in dancefloor mode – and she’s shared a new track from the EP ‘KELLY’ which we particularly like. The release of the EP is November 21st, and this new track should get your motor running in the meantime. It goes by the name of ‘132 TECHNO’, and…

BIG R&B FROM KEIYAA
A lot of R&B lately, has been so stoned or strung out on Xannies that it’s barely there. That’s fine and all that, but sometimes you want something a big more focused and bigger with the kind of drums that rattle your windows. Thank god then, for keiyaA, who is dropping her ‘hooke’s law’ album…
