WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
A lot of ’80s influenced rock music is pretty boring and worthy and shouty. Not the case with Finom’s new one called ‘Cyclops’. Remembering that hooks and choruses aren’t anything to be afraid of, the band formerly known as Ohmme have shared a new track from the upcoming LP ‘Not God’ with a cool video…
-
Always good for a quote, decent at owning to the times he’s fucked up and contributed to nonsense and, importantly behind a load of great records, Steve Albini has exited stage left. It doesn’t matter how he died and you probably already know that he’s manned the desk for the likes of Nirvana, PJ Harvey,…
-
Documentaries about bands are great, even when they’re kinda crappy. We’ve no reason to think that this new one will be crappy, we’re just saying. Anyway, Blur have announced a new film called ‘Blur: To The End’ which looks at the recording of the (surprisingly good ‘The Ballad of Darren’ LP which we reviewed and…
-
Popular Canadian child actor and erstwhile popstar Aubrey Graham, better known as Drake, has passed away. As the news broke, rapper J Cole was reportedly heard exhaling all the air out of his lungs in relief and while Pusha T could not be reached for comment, he could be heard cackling louder than a freight…

Disney+ has gone all-in on some cool Beatle stuff, but now its the turn of the Beach Boys! Now, there’s a lot to cover with the Wilsons & Co, so it will be interesting to see just how deep things go here. The promotional blurb says “get ready for an endless summer of fun, fun,…
-
King Princess is pretty cool, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that they’re into Steely Dan like all the cool, disaffected, sarcastic kids are, right? We like that Prophet song they did too. Anyway, they’ve covered The Dan’s ‘Dirty Work’ for the show Hacks. Of course, Donald Fagen doesn’t sing this song live, leaving it to…

There’s few greater joys than seeing working class people dance en masse. Whether you’re amongst it or simply viewing it, hot dance music and people busting out while wearing their best clothes is wholesome good, and we’ve been going down a rabbit hole of clips from Detroit TV show ‘The New Dance Show’. It ran…

We don’t really know anything about Jana Mila but on the strength of hearing her new single ‘Somebody New’, we’re going to find out as soon as we hit the publish button on this. The small amount we do know is that there’s going to be a new album in the summer called ‘Chameleon’. It’s…
-
Jazz fusion’ers Ezra Collective have said they’ve got a new LP coming out this year, on the back of winning that award they won (we can’t remember what the award was, but we wrote about it and basically, it was well deserved) which is good news! Of course, that means a little teaser for it…
-
Based in LA, you’d been forgiven for thinking that Geneva Jacuzzi was actually a product of the Blitz Kid crew with their take on glamorous, gothic pop music. She’s got a new record deal and a new song – ‘Dry’ – to celebrate that fact. She says: “I took a little break from writing music…

PREV UNHEARD CREAM FROM PRINCE
We already told you the ins-and-outs of the new deluxe version of Prince’s ‘Diamonds and Pearls’ edition, so we won’t repeat ourselves again. Interestingly though, there’s another previously unreleased recording to come from the project. This time, it’s a version of ‘Cream’ that shows off a new arrangement and is obviously excellent, because it’s Prince…

GOOD NEWS! IT’S MORE PORTABLE RADIO!
More new music from Portable Radio! The second single from the imminent ‘Counting To Three’ LP and this one is a Zombies-esque romp that should tickle your pickle no end. The video is a smart animation by the tremendous Nirshath Madhusanka who you can find more about here.

MORE UNHEARD JONI
Joni Mitchell’s archive series has been really great and it should be of no surprise that there’s been some real gems that have previously been unheard by us plebs in the vaults. And so, with her Archives Volume 3 which is out October 6th, we’re getting treated to a track called ‘Like Veils Said Lorraine’…

HAITIAN PSYCHEDELIC MIX
My Analog Journal has done it again, this time with a wonderful mix of Haitian psychedelic music, played by Belgian-born DJ Tracksuit (great DJ monicker that) He says: “I fell in love with Haitian music about a year ago after Cedric Woo’s Dance for Haiti mix series inspired me. I went down a Discogs rabbit…
