WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Nu Jazzers BADBADNOTGOOD are back, and once again we’re pleased to announce, they’re noodling. It’s a groovy affair and if you already like the group, you’re not going to be disappointed here. They’ve teamed up with singer VCR, who says: “This is more than a song to me – it’s a milestone.” Big talk. We…

It might feel a bit on the nose, what with her surname being ‘Haha’, but Gelli Haha wants to remind you that, despite all the ills of the world, you’re still allowed to have fun, dance in your underpants at home, and that giddy pop dance music is still on the menu. Now, it’s not…

Alison Goldfrapp is one of our most cherished artists, from her work with Orbital in the ’90s, to being a one-woman Electro Glam stomper, to dancefloor queen and witchy, pagan folkie too! She’s just terrific. The good news is that she’s got a new LP coming out in August and it is called ‘Flux’. The…

We genuinely think there’s an argument for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony being the most underrated hip hop group ever. Hugely popular of course, and massively influential, but they’re criminally overlooked in a lot of Hall of Fame chat, for our money. In better news, they’ve just released a new single called ‘Aww Shit’, and even better is…

We’re not trying to be That Guy by getting excited about a DJ playing vinyl and mixing manually, but it is a treat when someone does a cool set the old way. There’s nothing wrong with the USB stick crew, but allow us to feel nostalgic. With that, we just finished listening to a brilliant,…

We’re forever rooting for Kacey Musgraves as she’s just about the freshest voice in country music at the moment, and seemingly is unafraid to march to the sound of her own drum, where a lot of other country musicians bind themselves with musical conservatism. Well, Kacey has signed to Lost Highway Records which has relaunched,…
-
We have been incredibly lazy when it comes to reminding ourselves to share the tracklisting from the FREE RANGE radio show. We plain forgot that it was a piece of admin we used to do, until we were reminded by a listener. So with that, here’s the latest show for May 2025, featuring a lot…

Jorja Smith has committed herself, it seems, to do whatever the hell she wants, and we’re absolutely strapped in for the ride. From dreamy R&B, to killer UK Garage appearances, and now, absolutely filthy bassline music. To get you up for the weekend, here’s her new track ‘The Way I Love You’, which will punch…
-
We already told you that the mighty Aesop Rock has got a new LP coming out called ‘Black Hole Superette’, but we’re going to stick with the promo, as he’s got a new track out and he’s ever reliable and wordy and fun. The new track is called ‘Send Help’, and he’s got all his…
-
“When I was young, I got raped by a bitch twice my age.” The opening line to YG’s recent single ‘2004’ there, to almost zero column inches or thought. While music journalism focused once again on Kanye’s latest implosion, Kneecap’s politics and gamely filling up pages with Korean pop in the hope to grab some…

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…
