WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Peaches is back with her first long player in over a decade and it’s called ‘No Lube So Rude’, which is exactly the kind of title you want from a Peaches record. There’s a new song too, called ‘Not In Your Mouth None Of Your Business’, which is the kind of brash, righteous dance track…
-
The fragility of the American right-wing is getting increasingly farcical as, thanks to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl half-time show. Despite Puerto Rico being a US territory and Bad Bunny being one of the most celebrated artists of 2025, they want to do their own thing. At least they’ve took their own advice and will be…

Remember everyone (well, not everyone) kicking off about BBC Radio 1’s Sound Of Poll? Chappell Roan won last time around, but a good number of people thought she was too famous to have won a prize for being a ‘rising’ act. They kinda had a point. The BBC have now said that acts with a…

More new music from Jay Som who has her first new music out in six whole years. The new album is called ‘Belong’, and you’ll be able to hear the full thing TODAY if you head to your favourite platform or local indie. This new song from it, is called ‘Past Lives’, and features Paramore’s…
-
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 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…
-
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…
-
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, 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…
-
We already told you that the Super Furry Animals are back, and you knew before we’d even told you – it’s good news for anyone who is a fan of psychedelic pop, glam stompers and adventures rock, right? Well, with the 20th anniversary edition of Love Kraft coming out, there’s a song from those sessions…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

ENNIO MORRICONE VINYL BUNDLE
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,…

LAETITIA SADIER ANYONE?
Stereolab fans, rejoice! That’s because Laetitia Sadier is doing some stuff, and while it’s not a reformation of your fave French Library record enthusiasts, it’ll do for now, right? Because obviously, she’s not gone Death Metal or anything. It sounds enough like Stereolab to scratch that itch you have for them. She’s got an LP…
-
STOP MAKING SENSE (AGAIN)
The hipster’s faves A24 are doing something. They’re doing something with the hipster’s faves, Talking Heads. And it involves Paramore too. Man, people are probably doing social media posts saying ‘I’M SCREAMING’ and ‘ACTUALLY SOBBING’ and all that jarring bullshit, aren’t they? Not to say that this won’t be a heap of fun, mind you.…

SHEER MAG HAVE A GIGANTIC BANGER ON THEIR HANDS
It’s really great when you can hear how much ambition there is in a song. We’re not talking about tedious effort, but rather, someone really really trying to make something fantastic. And that’s exactly what we’re feeling about the new one from Sheer Mag, which is a massive pop-indie stomper. It’s called ‘Moonstruck’ and honestly,…
