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 BANGER FROM DJ SABRINA THE TEENAGE DJ
DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ continues to melt our brains with music that’s somehow both nostalgic pop AND futuristic psychedelic house music, and we love it. A new video just dropped for the track ‘For Now And Forever’ which is taken from the Destiny album and follows a fairly consistent and very funny long trolling…

BEATLES NEW SONG / WHAT DO WE KNOW?
The Beatles have casually dropped a tweet that’s got everyone’s knickers in a twist. It’s a link to their website where there’s a graphic of a cassette. There’s already some clues to be worked out too, for the eagled eyed. First, let’s look at the cassette. You can zoom in a bit harder when you’re…

FEMALE AFRICAN SUPERGROUP / LES AMAZONES D’AFRIQUE
If you haven’t heard of the ace supergroup made up of African women, you need to sort that out now. They’re called Les Amazones d’Afrique, and they have a new single out called ‘Kuma Fo (What They Say)’, and it’s ace electronics with trad African music sung in native languages from Mali, Benin, Burkina Faso,…

GREAT LATE CAREER SONGS
It always feels like music is destined for the young, but sometimes, artists hit a late career high and have a hit long after a supposed imperial period. Artists of a certain vintage (and some not so old, obviously) find a new voice, often with a more mature sound or finding new creativity in age.…
