WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We don’t really know anything about Jana Mila but on the strength of hearing her new single ‘Somebody New’, we’re going to find out as soon as we hit the publish button on this. The small amount we do know is that there’s going to be a new album in the summer called ‘Chameleon’. It’s
-
Jazz fusion’ers Ezra Collective have said they’ve got a new LP coming out this year, on the back of winning that award they won (we can’t remember what the award was, but we wrote about it and basically, it was well deserved) which is good news! Of course, that means a little teaser for it
-
Based in LA, you’d been forgiven for thinking that Geneva Jacuzzi was actually a product of the Blitz Kid crew with their take on glamorous, gothic pop music. She’s got a new record deal and a new song – ‘Dry’ – to celebrate that fact. She says: “I took a little break from writing music
-
The Pet Shop boys, despite their occasional protestations, are the benchmark for smart pop music. When you listen to them, you can feel your brain being tickled while your feet move – they’re really made of magic when they’re on form. So with that, we’re looking at their latest LP ‘Nonetheless’, which they’ve dubbed their

THEPOPCORPS saw GEL supporting thrashsploitation legends Municipal Waste and they were brilliant. They’ve since got themselves a new record deal and to celebrate, they’ve got new music out for you. For our money, they’re the most fun hardcore band on the circuit (we’re no experts, mind you – but we like what we like) and
-
The return of the physical format makes us feel all gooey inside, and better yet, it means more people hanging around in record shops and the like. HMV pivoted back toward vinyl as well as a host of merchandise and audio equipment and it’s all very encouraging to see the high street indulging in hobbies
-
Pressure is a terrible thing to heap onto a reclusive musician. With that in mind, many fans of Boards of Canada invariably don’t want to spook the brothers behind the name, but also, get visibly excited at the mere mention of their name. And rightly so – outside of Aphex Twin and Autechre, they’re just
-
These are always exercises that are effectively futile and occasionally controversial, but it’s fun to make lists and order things for people to agree and disagree with, right? And it’s worth pointing out that such lists are invariably the fruit of something thinking about something popular that they’re going to arbitrarily score lowly, and something
-
We’re hugely enjoying the music of CUZZOS X5 at the minute. With hip hop in dire need of an injection of goofiness without the backpack, these girls have been slinging out club friendly bangers that are stupidly fun and joyful… and cocky as all hell, which is always important we think. They’ve been skewering the
-
Time to work out a sad dance routine for duets with strangers while a sped-up version of a song plays, because it’s all going off at TikTok. Now, seeing as social media has been equal parts brilliant and awful over the years, it’s difficult to know what to actually think about all this. Let’s work

LAST BEATLE SONG CONFIRMED
It’s confirmed. The last Beatle music approaches and, as we thought, it’s ‘Now And Then’. You can see what we said about it here, if you want the back story. The track will be with us on 2nd November and the official blurb from the Beatles camp says: “Now And Then” is the last Beatles…

KURT VILE, GO ON THEN
Kurt Vile. A new song? A tour? Go on then. Vile, y’see, has a new EP coming out called ‘Back To Moon Beach’ and the tour is in the States, and seeing as our analytics say that most of our readers are European, that’s not the good news – but new music! Hurray! Below, if…

NEW BANGER FROM DJ SABRINA THE TEENAGE DJ
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ continues to melt our brains with music that’s somehow both nostalgic pop AND futuristic psychedelic house music, and we love it. A new video just dropped for the track ‘For Now And Forever’ which is taken from the Destiny album and follows a fairly consistent and very funny long trolling…

BEATLES NEW SONG / WHAT DO WE KNOW?
The Beatles have casually dropped a tweet that’s got everyone’s knickers in a twist. It’s a link to their website where there’s a graphic of a cassette. There’s already some clues to be worked out too, for the eagled eyed. First, let’s look at the cassette. You can zoom in a bit harder when you’re…
