WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Georgia has been putting out fun stuff for a while, but the new one is really really getting out shoes squeaking! It’s a housey, electro-ish slice of pop going by the name of ‘Be Free’, and the video is a day glo kids TV affair, which is super fun too. The songs details Georgia’s sobriety,

Are we all excited for the revamped version of The Beatles Anthology? There’s been a drip feed of songs that’ll appear on the additional Anthology 4 album, but it’s the TV show we’re most thrilled for. People of a certain age will remember the original Anthology documentaries, and some will have their DVD copies and

Tchotchke are one of the finest groups on the planet right now, and have had a run of albums that are as wonderful as they are unique. Mixing cute-as-a-button pop with tough ’60s girl group beat and dreamy psychedelia, the girls have a new album out – ‘Playin’ Dumb’ – which had us ranting and
-
There’s a lot of talk about the volume of languages and how much of a 180 ‘Lux’ is compared to Rosalia’s last LP, ‘MOTOMAMI’, so we’re going to swerve all that and just look at it for what it is, what it sounds like, and how it makes us feel. Of course, context is important

Bill Callahan’s lovely deep, soulful voice is back to grace your ears with the announcement of a new album. It’ll be called ‘My Days of 58’ and you’ll be able to hear the whole thing early next year on February 27th. Here’s the first song from it and it sounds exactly like you want a

The first trailer for the Michael Jackson biopic has dropped. The film is called ‘Michael’, which worries us slightly as it suggests it’s all going to be a little too kind and not gnarly enough to be a meaty movie. In addition to that, Jackson is being played by his nephew Jaafar, which again, suggests

De La Soul have a new album coming out and it goes by the name of ‘Cabin in the Sky’, and for those of you Daisy Agers who can’t wait to see if the boys have still got it, you can listen to a song from it below. The newbie is called ‘The Package’, and
-
Any musician who has uploaded their music to Spotify as an independent artist knows how futile it all is, expecting to end up on any of the editorial lists made by the company, which help push songs to millions of people using their front page. The fact is, if you don’t have the connections through

After his father bought a mine in Tucson, Arizona, Joseph Byrd grew up and found himself drawn to music. Initially, it was vibraphone and accordion in pop groups, he soon branched out into local TV arrangements and college jazz combos. A talented kid, he found himself in a fellowship at Stanford, where he rubbed shoulders

You may know Daniel Avery for his smart techno music, but there’s more strings to his bow than thunderous beats and brain frazzling synths. To show that, he’s done a really nice shoegaze mix which is perfect for transporting you out of the gloomy weather at the tail end of 2025. While this mix may

ROSALIA + BJORK + YVES TUMOR
As we kinda expected, Rosalia’s new single is not one for the dancefloor. That’s not a criticism – more a statement of fact. Heavy orchestral business, very grand and will surely be a curtain dropper at any shows, it features Bjork and Yves Tumour too! The upcoming album is called ‘LUX’ and, as we previously…

THE MUSIC OF THE BEATLES TV SHOW 1965
Have you seen ’65 show where a bunch of The Beatles contemporaries perform the music of the group? Hosted by Lennon and McCartney, offbeat humour, fun stage design and barnstorming performances from Lulu, our Cilla, Marianne Faithfull, the boys themselves, and more, this was broadcast just two weeks after ‘Rubber Soul’. Not too shabby eh?…

PULLMAN BACK!
You may be aware that Tortoise have a new album out in November – the first in almost a decade – but add to this, a new record from Tortoise-related group Pullman. That’s their first in TWENTY FIVE YEARS! Some wait, that. The last albums were ‘Turnstiles & Junkpiles’ and ‘(viewfinder)’, the latter in 2001…

BICEP WITH THE BEATS
BICEP are responsible for a number of big sweaty dance tracks and they’re at it again with a new collab with Eliza, which obviously, you can hear below or else why would we be writing about it, right? Hailing from Northern Ireland if you’re updating your files, the pair have announced ‘CHROMA 000’ which is a…
