WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Models and music doesn’t always go, so it is really nice when it works. With that, Suki Waterhouse has signed to Island Records and released a new single which is a slow burning, sleazy, glammish thing, which we’re always in the market for. The song is called ‘Back in Love’ and of course, you can…

Well, we were halfway there. The cat is now out of the bag, and Paul McCartney has announced his 18th solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane. The album is out in May, and the track listing is already on Spotify etc. And better yet, there’s a nostalgic, pleasant song to listen to as well,…

Gelli Haha‘s ‘Switcheroo’ LP was a whole bundle of fun and something we played a lot last year. She’s got a new song out, which is great news as it might mean a new album is on the way for 2026! The new single is called ‘Klouds Will Carry Me To Sleep’ and happily, it’s…

Country Joe McDonald passed away last week, leaving us remembering his biggest known hot – ‘I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ To Die Rag’ – feeling horribly topical. See, while a lot of anti-war songs are serious, sombre affairs, Joe’s was deeply sarcastic and intentionally fun to singalong with. As the US indulges itself with yet…

There’s been rumours swirling of a new album from Paul McCartney, and he’s been sharing playlists and whatnot, which feature an emoji of a bird. Well, here’s some unverified rumours which we’re definitely sharing because if we’re right, we we can shout TOLD YOU SO, and if we’re wrong, ah well. The new album is…

Primitive Ring are LA based noiseniks who are, in some way related to Ty Segall for what it’s worth, and they have a new track out that reminds us of fun stuff like Bongzilla and The Melvins and psychedelic garage punk and all manner of good stuff! They’re gonna release their new self-titled album on…

6LACK’s ‘East Atlanta Love Letter’ is one of R&B’s modern masterpieces, and fans will have been playing his back catalogue to death while waiting for a new album. Good news is that there’s a new one due on May 22nd, called ‘Love Is The New Gangsta’. More importantly for you now, is the new track…

If you’re old and remember them, or are young and like looking at vintage gear, you’ll know all about those gorgeous consoles that featured in homes. Consoles, for the uninitiated, were beautiful pieces of furniture that housed a record player, speakers, an amp, and sometimes other things like radios and storage. They were the entertainment…

Honestly, it is pretty depressing to keep writing about artificial intelligence. It’s like some kind of black mold that no-one can ever fully scrub away. Of course, there’s something vaguely exciting about the possibilities of future technologies, but this one isn’t cutting it. Away from the literal fascism-supporting elements of Big Tech pushing this on…

We’d kinda like to take the piss out of Elijah Wood, especially now he’s revealed he’s doing a Lord of the Rings rave. However, he seems like a genuinely nice bloke with nice interests, so we’re not going to be mocking him here. He’s launched an indie record label, released some nice looking headphones made…

NEW FRANK OCEAN? / HEARD THAT BEFORE, MATE
Frank Ocean is not a reliable source. That’s not a criticism per se, but it is something of a fact given the amount of times he’s done things his own way, shied away from the churn of pop culture, and all the rest. We only mention that because you should at least be allowed to…

SUPER SOUNDS OF THE SEVENTIES FROM SINKANE
Look, there’s no point pretending that the soul music released during the 1970s isn’t one of mankind’s greatest ever achievements. With that in mind, it’s not surprising that so many artists draw inspiration from that period. Sinkane’s new one – in tandem with Tru Osborne – is exactly that, and called ‘Everything Is Everything’ and…

TIERRA WHACK / BACK AND IT SLAPS
Tierra Whack makes ace music and has confirmed that a new LP is on the way. She has a new single out to whet our whistles in the meantime, and it’s called ‘Chanel Pit’ and it’s a stop-start banger that has echoes of prime Missy Elliott on the drum machine beat, if more trappy sparse.…

GIRLS ALOUD 2024
We ranked every Girls Aloud single simply because we love them. We’d like to say we had inside information on them making a comeback, but we didn’t. We could pretend we did, but honesty is in such short supply in music journalism that we’re not going to try putting you on. The thing is though,…
