WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Whether society at large has completely had it with capitalism and global dominance or not, remains to be seen. However, there’s a number of wars on and the tech bros dominance has seen a small shift in thinking which may blossom into something broader. On both ends of the political spectrum, it is obvious that

We missed Lyra Pramuk’s music released in previous years, but that doesn’t lessen the fun of listening to this new song called ‘Vega’, which is pop music, but off-kilter and a bit weird and gonzo, which we like. This release will be on her new label – pop.soil – and on the press release, it
-
We admittedly don’t know much about Pynch, but that’s okay, because we’re going to get to know them more after hearing the new single from them called ‘The Supermarket’. It has jangly guitars and they seem like they might be too cool to smile in photos, which is always fun. Press play, now, if you

Little Simz has announced a new album called ‘Lotus’ and, of course, if you’re not interested in reading any words about this, you can just scroll down and listen to a track instead. It’s fine by us. We’re not precious or getting paid for any of this. The new song is called ‘Flood’ and it is

The Ting Tings released a country song a bit ago, and it really surprised everyone. It is nice when a band reconfigures and decides to do as they please. Of course, they originally made danceable indie sleaze with ‘Shut Up And Let Me Go’ and ‘That’s Not My Name’. Not these days. And there’s a

There’s been a burst of activity from seemingly nowhere from JME who, whether he likes it or not, is one of the most talented rappers and performers of his generation. The latest track is ‘4NM’, there was an untitled track last week, there were tracks before that… JME doesn’t release music like most people, so
-
Stereolab have announced a big ol’ world tour, which is great news for lovers of bleeps and bloops with super Gallic Library pop! This is to promo some reissues that are coming out and the 35th anniversary of the band, so expect a fan-fave setlist. Recent reissues have featured all manner of demos, unreleased bits

Wings fans are in for a treat! There’s a new book coming out, officially in tandem with Paul McCartney, and filled with ace photos and drawn from over 500,000 words, based on dozens of hours of interviews with Macca and key figures in the Wings universe. The book is called ‘Wings: The Story of a

While the headline says it all, we really should pretend to give you some value for money by adding some words in the main body of the article. Cactus Lee’s new song is fun though, and there’ll be a self titled LP coming in March too. Elsewhere, he’s said the album is: “a reflection on
-
A new album comprised of silent music has been released to protest against changes in copyright law, regarding AI. There’s some big hitters on it too, including Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and Damon Albarn, as well as Billy Ocean, Tori Amos, Hans Zimmer, and loads more. You can’t hear them of course, but still. Also

WHICH SONG DID DYLAN HATE OF NEIL YOUNG’S?
Neil Young’s post Buffalo Springfield career is a fine one, but it wasn’t until ‘Harvest’ happened on the world that he became a legend. In ’72, the album was everywhere and inescapable on the radio. One man wasn’t happy about it, and that man was Bob Dylan. On the LP, fans would find ‘Heart Of…

LIZZO DROPPED BY SUPERBOWL? / NFL SUDDENLY CARE
We’ve not written about That Lizzo Story, because honestly, it all feels a bit like we’d be turning ourselves into a celebrity gossip site if we did. However, it’s a slow news day today. If you’ve missed it, effectively, go and look it up. Trigger warning though – it’s a pretty grim tale and involves…

DJS DI GUETTO // HOT LISBON DANCE ENERGY
If you’re not aware of the Príncipe label, you’re in for a treat! There’s a brilliant compilation called DJs Di Guetto and it’s filled with energetic, hot kuduro tracks from the aforementioned. So what are we talking about exactly? Well, the compilation looks at kuduro which was originated in Angola in the late ’80s, but…

COACH PARTY // LOUD AS FUCK
Coach Party are very hotly tipped and all that jazz, and while the world is a mess, it seems like mostly, everything is going a bit more melodic after countless post-punk-lite groups. Not everyone is sunshine and lollipops though, as Coach Party have just unleashed a venomous new track that’ll clear the cobwebs out! It’s…
