WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
King Princess has announced a new LP called ‘Girl Violence’ and for the kind of fans who like saying that someone’s got them in a chokehold and hipsters who want to yelp parental yelps, this new stuff is going to do the trick by the looks of things. The album is out in September, and…
-
We are huge fans of Rochelle Jordan, from her early days of dreamy R&B, but moreso now that she’s incorporated luxurious, smart house to the mix. ‘Play With The Changes’ is one of the finest albums released in the last decade, and we’ve been eagerly waiting for another full length release since. Maybe that’s coming,…

Cate Le Bon is not only prolific, but she’s also one of the more unique artists around, so it is definitely good news that she’s announced a new album. And there’s a song to listen to, taken from it, which you can check below. The LP is out via the excellent Mexican Summer, and features…

A new satirical music genre just dropped called ‘Co-Worker Music’ and you’re probably wondering what that is… or maybe you just intuitively know exactly what it is… either way, have we got something for you! Co-worker music is also called ‘NPC Music’, and it’s all very glib and a bit sniffy, but that’s okay –…
-
Manchester’s gloom glam merchants Deaf Whip have a new single out called ‘Cherry Lotion’, and looks like they’ve got themselves on a cool little label too – notably, the ace Sour Grapes who have been pushing psychedelic rock to all and sundry for a while now. A great fit. Apparently this was recorded in part…
-
If you speak Welsh, ‘Y Gath’ is just ‘the cat’, but it is also the title of a new song from Gwenno who hails from Cardiff (and daughter of a Cornish poet, so that’s Celtic Squared). The track is from the forthcoming ‘Utopia’ LP, which is out on Heavenly next week. It features H Hawkline…

Turnstile are just about the biggest punk group on the planet right now, and it seems like there’s still swathes of rock fans who haven’t cottoned on to this fact yet – and maybe that’s how the punks are going to enjoy it, because after today, they’re going to be absolutely everywhere whether they like…
-
We like pop music, and we like it when it’s made by bands (we also like it when it has been made by a pop factory, we’re not being like that) and that’s what we’ve found with the new single from Yumi Zouma. It’s pop, but stripped down a bit, but anthemic and a whole…
-
If there’s anybody in the whole world of music we wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of, it is Pusha T. There’s nobody with an aim truer than King Push, and besides, he seems to genuinely not give a single fuck what anyone thinks. He’s Teflon. Speaking to GQ, he spoke about Kanye.…
-
It may have been released in February, but the chances of English readers being all. Over Biche’s magnificent album are slim, and an album doesn’t need to be fresh off the grill to get excited about. Fact is, it’s so hard to make original music in 2025, that when a band arrives that sound like…

ANNA CALVI + IGGY POP
Iggy has lived a charmed life, and chosen so many interesting duets and collaborations. It is always worth pricking an ear to who he’s working with, and this time, it is Anna Calvi who is no slouch herself. “He’s disruptive, raw, and honest — a singular force,” Anna Calvi says of old Ig; “his presence…

DJ SABRINA THE TEENAGE DJ MIX
DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ continues to be wildly prolific and equally enigmatic as each year rolls on, providing music that is somehow purer than the driven snow and a little bewildering and unsettling. If that ain’t the most perfect encapsulation of how weird things are at the moment, we don’t know what is. With…

FREE RANGE / FEBRUARY 2026
The latest radio show we do is here. We do it every month and have listeners from all over the world, and when people tell us they’ve been listening, it keeps us going honestly. It is nice to put nice things into the world, and shine a light on records that might not get too…

AURORA + CHEMICAL BROTHERS = TOMORA
Aurora and Tom Rowlands from the Chemical Brothers have teamed up as Tomora, which means new music and some small shows, which is very fun! Aurora has collaborated with the Chems before, but this is a brand new project. The new record is coming out set for release on April 17th and is called ‘COME CLOSER’. “This…
