WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Peaches is back with her first long player in over a decade and it’s called ‘No Lube So Rude’, which is exactly the kind of title you want from a Peaches record. There’s a new song too, called ‘Not In Your Mouth None Of Your Business’, which is the kind of brash, righteous dance track…

The fragility of the American right-wing is getting increasingly farcical as, thanks to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl half-time show.

Remember everyone (well, not everyone) kicking off about BBC Radio 1’s Sound Of Poll? Chappell Roan won last time around, but a good number of people thought she was too famous to have won a prize for being a ‘rising’ act. They kinda had a point. The BBC have now said that acts with a…

When music lacks the usual verse-chorus-verse, it’s difficult to explain why you like it. Like a good techno album, you’re found waving your hands around and saying “I dunno – it just works and it’s all great!”, as you try and pinpoint various sections that made your brain fizz. Likewise, when faced with ambient music,…

Fcukers aren’t exactly Too Cool To Smile In Photos, but they have a similar vibe as they seem like the kind of kids who know where all the cool parties are, and you find out about them a full six months after they got bored of them. Either way, they’ve put a new song out…

The PinkPantheress really surprised us by how much we enjoyed it. It’s a potted history of UK dance music, shot through a bubblegum pop lens, and top to bottom, the whole thing is infectious as hell. Well, there’s a remix album of ‘Fancy That’ which is a star-studden affair. Better still is that you won’t…

Forgive the mildly clickbait headline, but there’s a chance you recognise the name Little Dragon and don’t know the members of it. Lead singer from the project, Yukimi, has got some solo bits out. Seeing as Little Dragon were pretty great, then this is good news for fans of them, right? This track – ‘All…

Matt Berry, real heads know, is a fabulous musician as well as a fine comedic actor. Killer psych, folk, and remakes of tricksy TV themes – he’s our kinda guy! Well, you need to see an advert he’s made for Telepathic Instruments with Jermaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords fame. What a dream pairing…

We already told you that the Super Furry Animals are back, and you knew before we’d even told you – it’s good news for anyone who is a fan of psychedelic pop, glam stompers and adventures rock, right?

GET TO KNOW MYRIAM GENDRON
If you’re a fan of intimate, killer folk, then you’re going to love Miriam Gendron. Her ‘Not So Deep As A Well’ album came out in 2014 and quickly became a cult classic and hard to get your hands on. Well, it’s being re-issued (and available for the first time in Europe) on 17th November…

CHROMEO NEW ONE SOUNDS JUST LIKE YOU WANT IT TO
Chromeo are great aren’t they? They know how to have fun, and honestly, they were on the ’80s boogie and yacht rock tip long before a lot of bands decided to get on those genres. Well, they’re back and sounding great and have a new LP due called ‘Adult Contemporary’. It’s not out ’til next…

MAC DEMARCO + ITALO POP LEGEND
If you’re a fan of Italo pop, then you will have absolutely found yourself dancing to Ryan Paris’ ‘Dolce Vita’. It’s a classic of the genre. It’s basically a perfect little europop song.
