WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Those who were lucky enough to hear the music made by Bill Fay, were changed forever. Sadly for Bill, he never quite got his flowers and now, as we’re faced with his passing, we’re once again wishing more and more people knew how wonderful he was. A statement from his label, says: “Bill was a…

Neil Young has teased a full UK tour (and Europe, and the US) this year, and god knows how much tickets are going to end up being, but still! Talking to his Neil Young Archives site, he yelled ‘Join us in the SUMMER OF DEMOCRACY’, before adding that there’s going to be a proper announcement of some…

A lot of Nu Yacht is a bit silly, wearing sea captain hats and unable to override it’s own irony – not always though! Smooth grooves are an awesome thing when done right, and with ‘Sou Fera’ by Julia Mestre, we have a gorgeous, sophisticated little shuffler that mixes Brazilian MPB with West Coast loveliness,…
-
The Lemon Twigs have hit a hot streak lately, and in that time, have set up their own record label. Very nice indeed. What that has translated into now, is a solo cut from Brian D’Addario called ‘Till The Morning’, which has a mild echo of The Band in it, along with all the lovely,…

Ever see Method Man and Redman’s name together on a new release and hope it sounds exactly like you’d hope it’d sound? Great news for you then, because the legendary pair have teamed up on a track that sounds like super fun Golden Era hip hop that’s funny, fun, brassy, and all that good stuff.

Electric pioneer and Canadian music legend Bruce Haack is always worth diving into when it comes to one of the most interesting and brilliantly oddball back catalogues, so news of a reissue is worth pricking your ears up for. His 1975 work ‘This Old Man’ is being tarted up and you’ll be able to buy…

“You broke my sitar, motherfucker!” In the current climate of pop and rock, it might be impossible to think of a documentary like ‘DIG!’ being made. So unflinching is it in parts, that you can’t foresee the manicured bands of 2025 allowing themselves to be shown quite as starkly as The Dandy Warhols and Brian…

James Elkington has a very pleasing folkie number out – along with a bunch of other songs too – all for a new LP called ‘Pastel De Nada’. The album is out March 28th, and of the new bits, ‘Very Berk Squad’ is a beautiful little instrumental gem. Press play.

AI is objectively awful for people who actually make things. In short, big tech is taking things from people, and it means they’ll lose their income. While some use of AI may make you laugh or be kinda novel, the fact remains that governments the world over are saying that it’s okay for tech companies…

Ever wished someone would make some synthpop that leaned a little more on the gothic side of things, without falling into stupid sexpot Industrial music? We have some great news for you! Circuit des Yeux have released a new track called ‘Canopy of Eden’ which is from new LP ‘Halo On The Inside’. It’s a…

PORTABLE RADIO PREORDERS ARE LIVE
The new album from the clearly brilliant Portable Radio – who released new single ‘I Feel Like A Dog’ last week – have announced that their new LP ‘Counting To Three’ is available for presale on Where It’s At Is Where You Are recordings. On lovely red vinyl for the LP enthusiasts and of course,…

NANCY SINATRA RARE STUFF & DEMOS
The good folks over at Light In The Attic have just announced a Nancy Sinatra rarities compilation that’s due out in October, which is great news for anyone with ears! It’s called ‘Keep Walkin’: Singles, Demos & Rarities 1965-1978′ and is more archival work following from the ‘Start Walkin” comp they put out a couple…

UNHEARD PRINCE IS GO!
Since Prince’s untimely passing, the infamous Paisley Park vaults have been prepped to treat us fans with new and unheard bits and thanks to a new super deluxe version of ‘Diamonds and Pearls’, we’re being gifted two things to listen to and honestly, it’s all very exciting and very nerdy. So what have we got?…

FÖLLAKZOID WITH A BIG TECHY WHUMPER
We don’t know a huge amount about Föllakzoid so we looked them up. They’re Chilean, they’ve collabed with Atom™ and J Spaceman from Spiritualized, and most importantly, have a new and huge techno whumper out called ‘V-II’. Apparently, this is the first new music in quite a few years and there’ll be an album out…
