WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Channel Tres is great, whether you’re into rap or techno – get a gal that can do both, right? Well, there’s a new single out called ‘Black Techno Guy’ and it is from a new LP called ‘Experimental Rap’. On the track, you’ll hear Tres say: “I’m the Black techno guy, Black techno guy,” so…

Swamp Dogg has been knocking around a while now, but this whole damned time, he’s been a walking legend of funk-fused blues and wry observations – not to mention some natty outfits that are unparalleled! Well, he’s back and thinking about the big stuff with an album called ‘Swamp Dogg Contemplates The Afterlife’. The press…

The algorithm did its thing for a change, and dropped a video on us by an artist who goes by the name of D’Leesa. And she seems to be appearing on other algorithms too. Now, it’s easy to be suspicious when things start to go any version of viral, and you think there might be…

Are you listening to nothing but automated streaming playlists which keep serving up the same ol’ stuff? Are you finding out that Alexa throws you zero curveballs when you’re trying to find something to listen to while you’re cooking a Sunday lunch? Don’t worry – alternatives are available. Mixcloud is free to sign up with…

Julia Jacklin has announced a new LP called ‘The Gem’, which is good news! And of course, if you don’t want to read our words about the whole thing, you can skip to the bottom of this piece and listen to a new song from her. The new single is called ‘Get Away From Me (I…

Lily Seabird has been causing something of a stir, often being put in the pack of the new Indie Country which has been doing something to address the wrongs of a lot of Stadium Country lately. There’s a new album on the way called ‘Lightspheres On Their Way’ which you’ll be able to hear in…

Dawn Richard switches lanes while still managing to keep her essence in each of her projects, and now, she’s back to making the kind of R&B that makes you think ‘instant classic!’, which is good news seeing as it’s the Summer of R&B. Dawn has a new single out which features Durand Bernarr and it’s…

We’ve covered The Linda Lindas a few times on these pages, and every time we do, it’s always the same feeling we get, that they’re noisy, catchy and fun records that sound like a super fun night out. And they’re at it again with a new song called ‘Burning Out’, which is all skuzzy guitars…

Tim Bernardes is one of the finest Brazilian musicians around right now, mixing MPB, ’60s psychedelia, ’70s power pop, Tropicalia and all the music you like, wrapped up in a gorgeous, intuitive songwriting style that has won him fans outside of his home country, the span of the globe. Well, great news is that he’s…

Look, M.I.A. has turned heel and it’s annoying if you want to listen to the kind of music she was so good at. Mercifully, there’s someone here who can take a similar spot, and that’s Alewya. A multidisciplined artist, model, musician, Alewya has been getting people excited for a little while now, but we only…

TOM WAITS IS BACK, WITH THE FUNNIES
Tom Waits made a surprising return with Massive Attack lately on a track called ‘Boots On The Ground’, which made for an intense, insular listen about some of the global bullshit going on at the minute. Well, he’s back some more, releasing the full version of his spoken-word track ‘The Fly’, which of course, you…

FLO MILLI WITH A PSYCHEDELIC RAP
Flo Milli is going to release her fourth LP later this year, and to tease the release of course, there’s a new song to listen to. The album is called ‘FloState’ (that’s neat) and it’ll be on Jive. There’s no firm details on it just yet, but there’s a new psychedelic, syrupy number to listen…

THE BEATLES MICHELLE / TAKE ONE
You’ve probably heard by now, that there’s a fancy, deluxe version of ‘Rubber Soul’ by The Beatles coming out, right? While we could slavishly cut and paste the tracklistings for the various discs to pad out the word count for this article like most publications have, we’ll assume you’ve got the wherewithal to find out…

SYLVAN ESSO NEW SONG IS PRETTY NICE
What do you know about Sylvan Esso? We don’t know anything about them, but the algorithm did its job for once and gave us this new song from them. They’re a duo, it’s a pretty nice song that has a whiff of trip hop about it, but not entirely, with a catchy nursery rhyme melody…
