WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is a silly band name, but that’s cool and they know it. They are a prolific band and there’s no-one quite like them as they veer from psych, to metal, to prog, to whatever else takes their fancy. They have a new album coming out called ‘FLIGHT b741’, and of…

The annoying section of music fans who insist on saying ‘album cycle’ and ‘eras’ will be having a field day today as Katy Perry has released a new song, which signifies the start of her new ‘album cycle’ or ‘era’. It’s viral marketing talk for ‘having a new record out’, and of course, when there’s…

Well, we told you about The Junipers brilliant new single, and now you can hear it and see it! It’s called ‘Annie Almond’ and it is a perfectly timed slice of psychedelic pop and they once again they prove to be the greatest band on the planet. The song is available exclusively on their Bandcamp…

Mark Lanegan’s estate have announced a new box set of ‘Bubblegum’ to celebrate the 20th anniversary of it. The best bit of news for you is that it will include 12 previously unreleased songs. It’ll be called ‘Bubblegum XX’ and you’ll be able to hear it on August 23rd, and for vinyl heads, there’ll be…

Confidence Man are the funnest thing around and if you’re feeling cynical about them, you need to sort yourself out. ConMan are not that deep. Big bangers. Daft dance routines. Pure hedonism and self aware. Get on it for a good time, not a long time etc. Well, they’ve got a new song and a…

You may not know this, but thankfully we’re on hand to let you in on the secret – The Junipers are the greatest band in the entire world. Melding heady psychedelia, bubblegum pop and baroque rock, there’s no-one quite like them. Impossibly catchy, superbly crafted and two tonnes of fun, they’ve been hibernating for a…

Even though Keir Starmer looks like he listens to The Smiths, presently, there’s enough reasons to be cheerful by virtue of the fact that the UK’s political landscape should settle down and y’know, Labour aren’t The Tories and they might actually listen. Of course, they’re politicians so no-one in their right mind should get their…

Where have our paragraphs gone? Why are all the words bunched up like that? Look, if we had the answers, we would have fixed it already. It is being looked into. If everything goes screwy, it’s because we’re in the back room shovelling coal and pulling levers and half hoping it fixes itself.

Camila Cabello can’t seemingly catch a break. Whether it’s poor advice or self inflicted is largely a moot point, because the basic kicker is that ‘Havana’ aside, her career has seen her become famous, but not cool. We’ll stay away from the tittle-tattle that may or may not make her a divisive pop figure and…

For those who know who Cornelius is, you’ll need know introduction. For the rest, he’s one of the finest musicians that Japan has ever produced. To his pals, he’s Keigo Oyamada, and he’s bounced around genres from electronica, to Kosmiche, to music that saw him dubbed the “modern day Brian Wilson”. Whatever he is, you…

JAMC ENTER THEIR XTRMNTR PHASE
Bobby Gillespie may have left the Jesus & Mary Chain yonks ago, but there’s still a spiritual connection between the Reids and Primal Scream. With that, JAMC has got a new song out and it reminds us a bit of the Screamteam in their XTRMNTR period. Tenuous, sure, but if we didn’t write something, we’d…

WELL WELL THE HIGH LLAMAS ARE HERE AGAIN
We love the High Llamas and we’re surprised that they’ve just decided to come back with new music. What wonderful news for anyone with ears! The album is going to drop on March 29th on Drag City. There might be some shows too, which is ace. There’s two co-writing credits from Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy too.…

SPOTIFY WRAPPED IS GOOD, FLEETING FUN
Regardless of whether Spotify is a net good for music, one thing that is fun is seeing what people have been listening to. Sure, the psychoanalysis that goes along with it can give you something to mildly worry about at night, but the 2020s just saw people using social media to share music all but…

SPINAL TAP ARE COMING BACK
There’s going to be a bit too much perspective as Spinal Tap are coming back with a new film! And there’s some hot cameos for the new one, just like the original movie! This new one will feature Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks and Elton John, amongst others. Talking with Richard Herring on the RHLSTP podcast,…
