WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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…

Unless you’re a musician, you’re probably not that bothered about Spotify’s royalty rates – but maybe you should be. See, the convenience of Spotify is absolutely unparalleled, and most people now have an almost endless library of music in their pockets, so you can listen to huge catalogues of music on the commute. But what…

What a year Girl Ray are having! Their ‘Prestige’ album is almost guaranteed a high placing come the End Of Year polls in the music mags and broadsheets. To keep the momentum going, they’ve released a new single called ‘Hurts So Bad’. It was produced by Hot Chip and is their most electronic number yet.…

Most right thinking people want to hunt billionaires for sport because no one person needs that money and couldn’t have possibly earned it without exploiting the labour of others. There would have to be some exceptional circumstances for that to not be the case, right? Like, if someone found something in their attic that was…

We absolutely haven’t heard of Letters To Cleo before, but that’s no reason to not say their new song is really fun and that we like it. You don’t always need an angle to tap a toe, do you? We found out that they’ve been on the circuit for a while, which is our bad.…

We’re huge fans of Yuné Pinku here. Mixing the sounds of the familiar with future-house, she’s been making great music for a while now. The latest one is another sophisticated, slinky banger that is perfect to kickstart your weekend. It’s follows the excellent ‘BABYLON IX’ EP, and is called ‘Killing Be’. As ever with her…

WHICH SONG DID DYLAN HATE OF NEIL YOUNG’S?
Neil Young’s post Buffalo Springfield career is a fine one, but it wasn’t until ‘Harvest’ happened on the world that he became a legend. In ’72, the album was everywhere and inescapable on the radio. One man wasn’t happy about it, and that man was Bob Dylan. On the LP, fans would find ‘Heart Of…

LIZZO DROPPED BY SUPERBOWL? / NFL SUDDENLY CARE
We’ve not written about That Lizzo Story, because honestly, it all feels a bit like we’d be turning ourselves into a celebrity gossip site if we did. However, it’s a slow news day today. If you’ve missed it, effectively, go and look it up. Trigger warning though – it’s a pretty grim tale and involves…

DJS DI GUETTO // HOT LISBON DANCE ENERGY
If you’re not aware of the Príncipe label, you’re in for a treat! There’s a brilliant compilation called DJs Di Guetto and it’s filled with energetic, hot kuduro tracks from the aforementioned. So what are we talking about exactly? Well, the compilation looks at kuduro which was originated in Angola in the late ’80s, but…

COACH PARTY // LOUD AS FUCK
Coach Party are very hotly tipped and all that jazz, and while the world is a mess, it seems like mostly, everything is going a bit more melodic after countless post-punk-lite groups. Not everyone is sunshine and lollipops though, as Coach Party have just unleashed a venomous new track that’ll clear the cobwebs out! It’s…
