  • REVIEW / COCO + CLAIR CLAIR / GIRL

    Pop’s best You Can’t Sit With Us pair, Coco + Clair Clair are back with a new album after dropping the achingly cool ‘Aggy’ [listen here] which cements their place as one of the more unique acts to hail from Atlanta. With their to-the-minute slang, they’re snarking again and saying “delulu” and, while those would

  • CORDAE + ANDERSON PAAK

    Look – not all music needs to be deep. Sometimes, you just want something that sounds summery as the month you’re in, and that’s exactly what we’ve got with this new one from Cordae and Anderson .Paak. It’s a backpackish affair, but not in that conservative, boring way – it’s just a soulful jam session

  • NEW AMYL + THE SNIFFERS, LIKE

    Are Amyl & The Sniffers punk? Are they something else? Does it matter? No. They’re back though and have things to say and noisy guitars, so strap in. They’ve got a new LP coming out – the first in three years – and it is called ‘Cartoon Darkness’. There’s a new single to listen to

  • OBLIG OASIS ARTICLE

    Oasis have got back together and that’s great/terrible news. Millions of people have reacted to the shock reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher with unadulterated joy/weariness as the pair set about assembling a group for some live shows which are sure to be epic/a massive letdown. Of course, Oasis are responsible for some of the

  • YAEJI WITH ANOTHER BANGER

    Yaeji’s hyperactive electronic pop can veer in all directions, but we’re very glad to report that the new one is aimed squarely at the dancefloor and phasers are seemingly set to ‘banger‘. The new track is called ‘booboo’ and, after moving away from clubland, it seems they’re back at it and taking names and numbers

  • GUIDE / COSMIC COUNTRY ALBUMS

    Niche genres are a silly thing music fans and record collectors love to indulge. Even if you can settle on the specifics of these genres, you then get to the meat and potatoes of pointlessly ranking things. We’re not going to rank them here, even though we were tempted to in a lousy bid to

  • HEARD ABOUT GINGER ROOT?

    Ever find yourself in this situation? You think you’ve stumbled across someone amazing that no-one else is on, you go to follow them on Instagram and see everyone’s already on it? You preemptively thought about letting everyone in on a new and exciting thing to find out that they may well end up thinking ‘about

  • NICOLE MIGLIS ELECTRONIC ORCHESTRAL WONDER

  • RODRIGUEZ / RIP

    Detroit psychedelic legend, Sixto Rodriguez has sadly passed away. The news was confirmed across social media – he was 81 years old. In a very simple message, a note read: It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our Legend, Rodriguez. Most people will know the songwriter from his song ‘Sugar Man’…

  • NEW WEYES BLOOD

    Hey! Weyes Blood makes terrific music and very cool music videos and there’s something new for you to look at! Now, it’s not a new track – it’s ‘Hearts Aglow’ from her excellent last LP – and looks like the cycle of this project is coming to a close, as the video reminisces about her…

  • LIN MANUEL AND THE WARRIORS MUSICAL

    You may have read that headline and assumed that we’d taken a massive blow to the back of the head. Alas, no. Y’see, Lin-Manuel Miranda seems like a genuinely nice fella and all, but he’s got that unswerving confidence and wide-eyed optimism that you only find in musical theatre kids from NYC. Add to that,…

  • GOAT // NEW COSMIC PSYCH

    Goat are Swedish, mysterious, and fucking amazing. A lot of modern psychedelic music focuses on one of two things – a) Hazy, pastoral music, b) Jam band fuzz wig-outs. Not Goat. They’re truly psychedelic in that they feel like they come from somewhere completely alien to the rest of us and dress the part while…
