WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Floating Points is from Manchester, so we couldn’t help but notice that their new song shares the name with an old radio station from the city. People of a certain again will remember Piccadilly Key 103, so the fact that this is called ‘Key103’ will fill them with a fizzy nostalgia. Very nice. Of course,…

Channel Tres makes good house music and we’d like to see a DJ soon, please. He’s further proof that Summer 2024 is being completely owned by the West Coast, hailing from Compton. There’s a debut LP out called ‘Head Rush’ and it has a stellar line-up of guesties on it. It’s the usual blend of…
-
God. Someone else wondering what Balearic means. Look, what we’re saying here is that there’s a chug to this that might sound nice when there’s been some kind of exploring of chemicals. But it’s folk music. The two can go together, and you know it. We’re looking at the new track from Norwood who isn’t…

If you’re a fan of Jon Hopkins and his ambient things, you’re in luck! He’s just shared a preview of the new LP ‘RITUAL’, which we think is meant to be in CAPS, but it shouldn’t be, because it’d be more ambient to have it lower case. Anyway, as this is ambient, we have to…

When Cornershop burned a photo of Morrissey in 1992, everyone should’ve been aware that a legendary band were in ascendence. Every time Tjinder Singh & Co do something, it is our civic duty to yell about it! And so, they’ve made a super fun video and a really cool re-do of their 2018 track ‘Double…

Pop magpie Jim Noir is back again, emerging from a nest of wires and psychedelic hooks, and that’s always good news. He’s going to release ‘Jimmy’s Show 2’ on September 17th, collecting all the best songs from his Patreon bits and bobs, EPs and experiments. If you want to join Noir’s Patreon, you can do…

Here’s a sweet mix from Vero G with Discodelic, and is full to bursting with Latin American gems! Vero G hails from San Francisco, and honestly, has a record collection that’ll make you jealous. Recorded live at the Discodelic store in San Francisco, and this is a channel new to us and we’ll be keeping…

Pop music seems to be veering into the ditch in 2024. Now, this is not to say that it is in the ditch because it sucks, but rather, because there’s a brand of reckless, very silly, hedonistic pop that’s not too concerned with being polite and polished. If this is some kind of brat szn,…

Remi Wolf seems to be someone who thought about putting all her ideas and buoyancy on a tight leash, but soon found out that it was impossible and they all just erupted out of the top of her head. On stage, she’s infectious and with so much energy that it can feel like watching someone…

You already know who Rod Argent is – songwriter extraordinaire, keyboardist, and founder of the achingly wonderful group, The Zombies. Rod is going to immediately retire from the touring life after suffering a stroke, and we’d just like to wish him good health. Argent and the Zombies management team made an announcement, which you can…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

WATCH THE TALKING HEADS REUNION
As we’ve previously mentioned, Talking Heads were sharing a stage together again, and thankfully, it happened! They stepped on-stage together at the Toronto Film Festival last night for a Q&A about the re-do of ‘Stop Making Sense’ and mercifully, someone’s uploaded a hooky video of it. Thanks la! Previously, guitarist Jerry Harrison had said that…

PSYCHEDELIC SPACE NOISE FROM MILDRED MAUDE
What’s in the water down Cornwall? They love a bit of noise down there mixed in with head-melting psychedelic business. We’re not talking about Aphex, but rather, improv noise band Mildred Maude who have a new EP out. The track we’re sharing below is called ‘Shifting’ and is taken from ‘Microclimates’ and if you like…

LAUGHING GAS IS NO LAUGHING MATTER
Believe it or not, there’s still a war on drugs, despite drugs clearly being the victor. Fact is, music and taking drugs go hand-in-hand, whether you’re getting off your chops at a rave, bumping a key a gig, or rolling some fat ones while you dissolve into the sofa listening to John Martyn records. And…

NEW CLEO SOL LP SOON
Cleo Sol is quite possibly the best soul artist the UK has ever produced so it’s great to hear that she’s got a new LP on the bubbler. The album is called ‘Heaven’ and it’ll be out in just a few days, on September 15th. She put a little teaser online for those who need…
