WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Mildlife are an Australian band designed for dancing too. However, it’s also very much music of the head too, as they’ve been dubbed variously as ‘psychedelic jazz fusion’ and ‘prog disco’. If both of those phrases gave you a bit of the ick, don’t worry – this track you’re about to hear is cool, cool shit.

Maybe we should know who Fever Ray are, but we don’t. Judging by this new thing we’ve just listened to, we’re still not sure because it’s a remix. And what a banger of a remix it is! The track is called ‘Even It Out’ and it s a rejig by Frost Children, and it’s a

You remember Steve Mason from the Beta Band right? He’s always up to something. The latest is getting Mancunian rapper OneDa to rework his ‘Moss Side Fish Fry’, and it’s a elastic bass synth gem, honestly. OneDa says: “I approached this track as I would do a spoken word piece, using my verses in a

We’ve spoken quite a bit about the last Beatles recording and it’s finally here and available to listen to it. Very bittersweet experience in all honestly. It’s age appropriate too, so don’t be expecting any 808s or dirty wub wubs. A touching final chapter to the greatest band to ever do it.

For so many years, library music was only a thing that tapped people’s toes if they were absentmindedly watching TV, as it soundtracked incidental moments on shows and whatnot. However, nerds started valuing the complex pop-jazz moments, the ambient segues, and more. Soon enough, library music was having a renaissance. Matt Berry (who seems to

We’re very sentimental and excited about the ‘Now And Then’ release that’s due from The Beatles. It’s all very bittersweet, given that it’s the ‘last recording’ they’ll do. A short film with snippets from the isolated vocal, strings, pop vox from the family and surviving members and… …stop reading this and just press play already.

Want to get away for a holiday and need some impetus to get organised and booking something? Well, if you live in a major city, the following is the dates Liam Gallagher is playing and your local will be filled with lads with bad feathered hair cuts, wearing gazelles and waddling around with their feet

What’s funny about MGMT is that they’ve managed to annoy a whole host of people and not really done anything to warrant it. Kid Cudi likes them enough to jump on stage with them while full of acid, so they’ve got that in their favour. Maybe they’ve got annoying fans? We genuinely don’t know. Anyway,

Want a cool Halloween mix that swerves the usual stuff (not that there’s anything wrong with the usual stuff) and has a bit more fuzz and bite? Good news! Here’s a fun garagey, fuzzy, occasionally camp mix of creeptacular tunes for your Halloween party (or if you’re looking for a creepy journey home from work

Is it Balearic? Is it slo-mo house? Who cares if it sounds this fun! Like half a pill dancing up your spin, Swedish duo The Embassy have a new record out that’s as nice as the sand between your toes. The track is called ‘Dream On’ and it is taken from a new LP called

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…

FLO MILLI NEW STUFF
Flo Milli – purveyor of very fun shit – has a new album due, and to celebrate that fact, there’s a new track for you to listen to. Two things – 1. It’s called ‘Fruit Loop’; 2. The video looks like a pre-recorded SNL bit. With Ice Spice shaking her ass in the deli, and…

THE LINDA LINDAS BRING THE NOISE
Remember we told you The Linda Lindas were bringing back fun punk? Well, they’re back again, but this time with something even heavier. And, mercifully, even more fun. When we say fun, we mean Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fun. We want to load the second instalment of the game up with all the cheats loaded,…

FACE DOWN IS JERSEY BADNESS
Here we go! We’ve been needing hip hop to get a bit of a kick in the pants and this Jersey sound is just the thing to do it. With that, a new track that you need to get your lugs ’round. It’s by MCVERTT and features Sexxy Red and A$AP Ferg and called ‘Face…
