WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Get ready for a whole new generation of kids to learn that Phil Spector is a bad character! That’s because, there’s been a long rumoured biopic about Ronnie Spector in the works, and now we know it’s a thing! It’ll be made by A24 (that’s promising, for starters) and Ronnie herself will be played by…
-
With a band name like The Horrors, perhaps it is all a bit much to expect too much cheer on one of their records. With this being 2025, and their first LP arriving in 2007, it seems, The Horrors persist. They’ve ducked and dived in the shadows of their influences for years, touching on garage…

Miley Cyrus has gone and announced her new album with a visual teaser. The LP will be called ‘Something Beautiful’, and it is billed as being something that is ‘hypnotic and glamorous’. It’ll be out May 30th. So what can we glean from the spurts of marketing from it? Well, it does seem to have…

Andy Shauf knows his way around a melody, and along the way, has picked up a very dedicated set of fans. He’s got a band called Foxwarren, and they have a new tuneful number out called ‘LISTEN2ME’, and it’s great! There’s going to be a new album too, called ‘2’, which you’ll be able to…

Look, sometimes you get a press release that’s so good, and so comprehensive, that there’s little point in trying to rewrite it and pass it off as your own. With that in mind, after this opening paragraph, we’ve just cut and pasted the whole thing and you’ll get all the info you need from it.…

People who like Cass McCombs are a keen bunch, so they probably already know that there’s a new track from the man himself out. For the rest of us, he’s done a Tiny Desk show for NPR, and he included a new song in it, and we’re linking to the studio version for you to…
-
It really is about time that Sister Rosetta Tharpe had a biopic, seeing as she influenced an entire generation of rock ‘n’ roll artists who came after her – a real trailblazer, and more importantly, in possession of a ferocious talent. With that in mind, a biopic we will get, and playing her will be…

While we patiently wait for new music from Weyes Blood, the good news is that she’s covered a song for us to listen to. Of course, she’s got excellent taste and for the soundtrack for a TV show (‘Good American Family’, if you need to know), she’s covered Neil Diamond’s ‘Shilo’. Press play. Hopefully, some…

That headline looks like some kind of bloody equation doesn’t it? Anyway, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs have teamed up with rapper El-P, perhaps to the surprise of some. This collab is going to appear on Pigsx7’s new LP ‘Death Hilarious’, which you can hear on April 4th. Live shows imminent.

He sold the idea of cooking to hipsters too cool to watch regular TV, he’s got a lot of tattoos, was in The Bear, is a restauranteur and all that jazz – now, Matty Matheson has announced he’s got a hardcore band called Pig Pen. He’s announced this on socials, so if you’re a fan,…

NEW PSYCH FROM HOT GARBAGE
Update your psych playlists, because Hot Garbage have just released a fuzz-doom monster that’ll tickle all your various pickles! Hailing from Toronto, Hot Garbage are getting ready for the release of the next LP ‘Precious Dream’, and you’ll be able to grab that on January 19th. January is always good for underground releases, as all…

LAETITIA SADIER SOLO
Hey Stereolab fans! Good news for you. Laetitia Sadier has announced a solo album called ‘Rooting For Love’. That’ll be out in February 2024 via Drag City (they’re a cool label aren’t they? Yep. They are) and it’ll be her first since her 2017 outing, which has a long name that we can’t be bothered…

KUNT UP RADIO COMING SOON
As much as we love glittery pop and divas, it’s fair to say that the media landscape’s representation of gay people can be rather one-dimensional. So with that, we’ve just caught wind of something that looks to shake things up in a fun way, and it’s got a real zinger of a name whichever way…

KEEPING SECRETS WITH BONNIE PRINCE BILLY
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy released some new stuff recently and notably, there was an LP called ‘Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You’. In true Prince Bill form, the song of the same name didn’t feature and he’s released it afterwards. It’s not that confusing or that deep. What it is, is a really good Bonny ‘Prince’ Billy…
