WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you’re into synthesiser music, someone coming at it with a fresh angle is always welcome – enter Manuela. A new album is due in June, and the first track reminds us of Karen Dalton, if she was produced by Eno – how about that?! The new record is called ‘Ultraviolet’ and follows some hot…
-
Have you felt it in the air? R&B summer is upon us and Momo Boyd’s ‘Oops’ single is yet another signpost for it! There’s been a host of great R&B releases and mercifully, there’s real diversity after the genre suffered from being mildly stuck in the mud for a while. We’ll eventually do a whole…

Sophia Stel says she’s a pop star, but don’t expect the glittery sheen of Sabrina Carpenter here. This pop filled with doom. She’s just released a new single called ‘Bitches Talk Shit’ which kinda underlines that point. Sophia has been getting a lot of people’s knickers in a twist and is setting off on a UK…

Rare DM has a new record out soon which goes by the name of ‘Attention’, and you can have a preview of what it might sound like right now. The appetiser is in the shape of new track ‘Honey’, which is moody, but simultaneously, upbeat. She says of it: “I wrote it during the uncertain…
-
Good news for Tricky fans – he’s just announced a new album called ‘Different When It’s Silent’, which will be out in July. This is the first release under the Tricky name in six years. He’s also got a new manager you might recognise called Alan McGee who convinced him not to give this music…
-
We don’t know the work of Emily Sprague, of Florist, but apparently she’s taken a left turn. Whatever is happening, we like it! She’s said that her new single ‘Double Moon’ “marks the beginning exploration of a previously uncharted map for me – the realms that combine my modular synthesizer work and my singing/songwriting.” It’s…
-
Well, it is finally official! There’s a new Boards of Canada album coming out with a release date, new artwork, song titles and EVERYTHING. Yeah, that’s right. The album is called ‘Inferno’, and is out May 29th, and it’s entirely new music after weeks of mystery and speculation, all kicked off with some VHS cassettes…
-
Kacey Musgraves is readying her sixth LP – ‘Middle of Nowehere’ – after releasing the very tongue-in-cheek ‘Dry Spell’ which had one of the best ‘Yup!’ deliveries we’ve heard anywhere, she’s now given us another track to whet the whistle. The new album is not far away, landing on May 1st, and the artwork and…

Have you heard of Anna’s Archive? Well, it was a project that mirrored libraries from streaming services. You might say they were like a library, trying to preserve all the recorded music, via Bit Torrents. That’s what they said, and it all wasn’t readily searchable from your average internet user either. Of course, there’s no…

If you like your Lo-Fi rock ‘n’ roll to have flashes of early Kinks and Garage Punk, then you probably need to get on board with Australian group, The Gnomes, who like fuzzy guitars mixed with actual songwriting rather than simple yelling. Now that we’re averse to yelling, mind you. The band will release a…

JAMES BLAKE WITH MORE ROBO SOUL
James Blake has returned with some new music, namely, the first single from the new album ‘Trying Times’, which is landing on shelves digital or otherwise on March 13th. The new song is called ‘Death of Love’, which he performs live in the new video for it. Look, with names like those, they’re not going…

SIDESHOW’S INTERESTING RAP
In all honesty, we don’t know much about the rapper who calls himself Sideshow, but we just heard a new track from them and we thought it was pretty interesting. Do you call it indie-hip hop? Whatever it is, it isn’t rage rap, trapcentric or a Golden Era throwback, which means he’s making music in…

ALDOUS HARDING TOUR DATES
Did you see Aldous Harding post something on Instagram recently, about some tour dates, but couldn’t really read it because the colours were making your eyes go fizzy and the quality of the image was pretty bad? Well, don’t worry – we’ve written them all down so you don’t have to squint. She’s going on…

The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point
We had to go with the ClickHole headline “Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point” headline, as Kid Rock sat before Congress and created a situation where a horrible idiot made a sound point. See, Kid Rock – Robert Ritchie to his doctor – has testified about the costs of gig…
