WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Playboi Carti has a new song out called ‘EvilJ0rdan’, on the back of some pretty unsavoury stuff. He appeared with Kanye while he was wearing his Klan hood, on the back of an allegation that he’d choked and assaulted his pregnant girlfriend. The track is below and contains lyrics like “monkey nuts, hold me, baby”…

A website asked, because of her all conquering popularity, if Taylor Swift is a genre all to herself now. No, of course she isn’t. Don’t be ridiculous.

Akini Jing is making some seriously good future pop and you need to get on it right now. New LP is out called ‘VILLAIN’ and after writing for other acts, they’re now keeping the good stuff for themselves. Cyborg-ish, forward thinking music that’s crucially fun and catchy too. New track, ‘Call Me Shadow’, is flawless stuff,…
-
The thing with Old Heads is that they can’t help but slate stuff they think is new, even though it’s kinda old hat now. Look at any YouTube comment section, and there they are, saying Justin Bieber isn’t good, even though he’s like, thirty years old now or something. Autotune is bad, and new hip…

The early 2000s is when Grime really popped off, and that was over 20 years ago. So yes, throwback is entirely appropriate for the new banger from Dizzee Rascal, JME and D Double E. The new track is a thronker of a thing, and called ‘What You Know About That’. It’s from Dizzee’s imminent ‘Don’t…

Shoegaze making a comeback was probably a bit of a pleasant surprise for some of the older heads, as there was a period where it was cripplingly unfashionable. However, MBV got back together and did some shows and destroyed everyone’s earholes, and the young indie fans got lost in the wash of distortion and reverb…

The hotshot from Puerto Rico, Young Miko, has teamed up with Argentinian producer Bizarrap to make an early 2024 banger! It’s not got a catchy name, but you’re going to enjoy it. It’s called ‘Young Miko: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 58’. Hardly rolls off the tongue, does it? Now, this is melodic and the flow…

Listen, we love a film about a musician but we know they’re not all good. We’ll watch them regardless, because we’re dorks like that. We’re reserving judgement until we’ve seen the whole thing, but there’s a new biopic about Amy Winehouse, but initially, it feels a bit weird. It’s called ‘Back To Black’ (they chickened…

Reading the comments on Ariana Grande’s new song ‘yes, and?’, you’re met with a lot of effusive praise. Stan culture, as we know, is a mixture of blind devotion (where would pop music be without it?) and preemptively hitting out at imagined critics. One such comment says: “stanning ariana grande isn’t just a hobby, it’s…

Ennio Morricone is one of the masters when it comes to movie soundtracks, effectively inventing the sound of the modern Western. If you hear a tremolo guitar and think of mean-eyed cowboys and desperados, then it’s Ennio you have to thank. With that in mind, if you’re looking to start your Morricone collection on vinyl,…

LONG LIVE MARY WEISS
When it comes to music from the 1960s, there’s a wealth of artists that are mentioned, but not nearly enough, is praise for perhaps the greatest girl group of them all – the Shangri Las. Rebellious, street-tuff, but importantly, emotional and spoke of the realities of being young women. The talk of the shock of…

MADLIB + KARRIEM RIGGINS DO BITS
Karriem Riggins and Madlib are a bit of a dreamteam, and they’re releasing ‘Massamba Afundance’, which is the second single from their upcoming Jahari Massamba Unit LP, album ‘YHWH is LOVE’ which is out March 1st. It’s a groovy, jazzy, percussive affair. You’ll like it if you like either of the aforementioned names. We do. It sounds very record collectory. In…

FUN GROT POP FROM TOLEDO
Hailing from Brooklyn, TOLEDO (all caps) have been making fun, grotty bedroom pop for a bit now, and their new song is pretty cool, if you’re in the market for something pretty cool. The new song is called ‘Lindo Lindo’ and we’re really into the plasticine artwork, that you can see on the YouTube video…
