WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Before we round up the stuff from 2024 that we thought was great, we’re going to have a little fun predicting what might happen next year in the world of music. Outside of music, you have to wonder if those stupid Marvel films are going to trudge on. They probably will. Of course, it’ll be

Look, we’ve been feeling poorly which meant no posts for a few days. However, we just saw this Fly On The Wall vid where producer The Alchemist is snooping around for loops with a tonne of records and it’s real nerdy and fun to watch. It’s with DAMNDUST and they’re in Bahrain, and you’ll like

Do you like Kaytranada? Well, if you’re a European reader, the good news is that he’ll be doing a tour around Europe, which gives you the opportunity to shake your backside. Great stuff. This is part of the ‘Timeless Tour’, and this relates to the LP he released in Summer. Honestly, all these words are
-
Streaming is hugely popular and, on the strength of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped graphics to social media platforms, it doesn’t look like it will be going anywhere, anytime soon. Or is it? In the immediacy, Spotify, Apple Music, and the rest, won’t be worrying too much as they continue to rake in cash, left,

If you’re into Jazzanova, or even Todd Terje or Nu Genea, then here’s something you should get your chops around – the new single from Roi Turbo. The pair are two brothers who go by the name of Benjamin and Conor McCarthy, and they make the kind of music that crosses over out of the
-
Shygirl really doesn’t miss, and has been making some killer party music for a while now. Unsurprisingly, she was invited to open for Charli XCX, to light the touch paper on Brat Summer. We like Shygirl in bouncy hip-house mode the best, so with the announcement of a new EP called ‘Club Shy Room 2’,

A recent appearance on the new Kendrick LP, ‘GNX’, isn’t going to anyone’s appeal any harm. So with that, after a guestie, West Coast’s AZChike has released a new track while the iron is hot. It’s a clatterer and goes by the name of ‘Love Yo Weapons’, and you can hear it below. —

Nothing should surprise us when it comes to Paul McCartney’s creativity. The man has been making LPs bursting with ideas and songs that switch pace halfway through, making you wonder just how much weed he was smoking at any given time. Sometimes, it’s a playful spirit, sometimes, you can actively hear his attention span being
-
Sharon Van Etten has a new outfit with The Attachment Theory, so sorry for making it sound like a solo cut with the headline, there. No matter, it’s a fine slab of molten rock ‘n’ synth which comes from the group’s debut LP. The track is called ‘Southern Life (What It Must Be Like)’ and
-
It is stylised as girlpuppy, but it is the project of Becca Harvey, who has release her first single called ‘Champ’, which is a pretty dreamy, melodic slice of indie pop. The video mildly belies the sound, being boxing themed, but it’s sure fun to watch. If you like shoegaze, but not the super derivative

MURKAGE DAVE SPILLS ALL
He’s a long way from his ‘Cartel’ days is Murkage Dave, and it’s been great to see his creative expand upwards and outwards. Genre-hopping, confessional and honest, he’s been releasing his best work since going solo. And there’s a new single called ‘Swordfight In A Chicken Shop’, and there’s a lyric video with it, so…

THE JOY OF WINAMP SKINS
For people of a certain age, it’s always bad news when the things of their youth become ‘retro’. However, with that, comes an appreciation of the things we loved from the past. As subscription fatigue takes hold with the global youth, the Wild West of the old internet looks appealing once more. The premise of…

ORIELLES NEW LP + SONG
The Orielles are back, and that’s great news. They’ve announced a new LP which will be their fourth, called ‘Only You Left’. You’ll be able to hear the whole thing on March 13th, but of course, there’s a new song to tide you over. The new song is a heavy, psychedelic affair – a touch…

REVIEW / LILY ALLEN / WEST END GIRL
In a pop age where everyone is dropping cryptic messages and leaving trails of breadcrumbs and codes for fans to pore over, it’s little wonder the kids are all still mad on ‘Rumours’ for its open messiness and hostilities. In an age that’s obsessed with the tea and all the various ingredients, it’s refreshing to…
