WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We missed Lyra Pramuk’s music released in previous years, but that doesn’t lessen the fun of listening to this new song called ‘Vega’, which is pop music, but off-kilter and a bit weird and gonzo, which we like. This release will be on her new label – pop.soil – and on the press release, it…
-
We admittedly don’t know much about Pynch, but that’s okay, because we’re going to get to know them more after hearing the new single from them called ‘The Supermarket’. It has jangly guitars and they seem like they might be too cool to smile in photos, which is always fun. Press play, now, if you…

Little Simz has announced a new album called ‘Lotus’ and, of course, if you’re not interested in reading any words about this, you can just scroll down and listen to a track instead. It’s fine by us. We’re not precious or getting paid for any of this. The new song is called ‘Flood’ and it is…

The Ting Tings released a country song a bit ago, and it really surprised everyone. It is nice when a band reconfigures and decides to do as they please. Of course, they originally made danceable indie sleaze with ‘Shut Up And Let Me Go’ and ‘That’s Not My Name’. Not these days. And there’s a…

There’s been a burst of activity from seemingly nowhere from JME who, whether he likes it or not, is one of the most talented rappers and performers of his generation. The latest track is ‘4NM’, there was an untitled track last week, there were tracks before that… JME doesn’t release music like most people, so…

Stereolab have announced a big ol’ world tour, which is great news for lovers of bleeps and bloops with super Gallic Library pop! This is to promo some reissues that are coming out and the 35th anniversary of the band, so expect a fan-fave setlist. Recent reissues have featured all manner of demos, unreleased bits…

Wings fans are in for a treat! There’s a new book coming out, officially in tandem with Paul McCartney, and filled with ace photos and drawn from over 500,000 words, based on dozens of hours of interviews with Macca and key figures in the Wings universe. The book is called ‘Wings: The Story of a…

While the headline says it all, we really should pretend to give you some value for money by adding some words in the main body of the article. Cactus Lee’s new song is fun though, and there’ll be a self titled LP coming in March too. Elsewhere, he’s said the album is: “a reflection on…

A new album comprised of silent music has been released to protest against changes in copyright law, regarding AI. There’s some big hitters on it too, including Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and Damon Albarn, as well as Billy Ocean, Tori Amos, Hans Zimmer, and loads more. You can’t hear them of course, but still. Also…

They call themselves a Flowerkraut Collective, because inventing genres for yourself is fun, but its a pretty handy Post-It for what the group are trying to achieve – an embellished, psychedelic rock that swerves between global psychedelia, German Kosmiche, and a whiff of Library electronics. A sprawling array of members that sometimes reaches double-digits, the…

DONNY BENET IS ALWAYS A GOOD TIME
Donny Benet is a wonderful musician and seems like a swell guy to boot. Talented, good taste, well dressed and funny as well – what’s not to like? He’s just dropped ‘Midnight Appointment’ which is the fourth single from his upcoming instrumental album “il Basso”. Get your copy at donnybenet.com if you know what’s good…

REVIEW / THE BEACH BOYS / WE GOTTA GROOVE
A lot of people talk about The Beach Boys like they’re the US equivalent of The Beatles, but that’s always missed the mark in what makes the Wilsons & Co such a fascinating prospect. Fact is, The Beach Boys were messier and weirder than the Fabs. The wheels frequently fell off and even die-hard fans…

MORE FROM THE NOTWIST NEW ALBUM
The Notwist are back and we already gave you a heads-up on their new album – you’ve only yourself to blame if you’ve not been checking in. If you missed it, luckily for you, we’re sharing yet another song from their forthcoming new LP, ‘News From Planet Zombie’. ‘Projectors’ is the latest one, with brassy…

SFA EARLY WORK REISSUE
The Super Furry renaissance continues apace as everyone gets ready for their return to the stage later in the year, and we get a reissue of some of their early music. They’ll be reissuing their two Ankst EPs on vinyl on Friday 1 May 2026, with some fun added bits tacked on for good measure too! It’s…
