WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The Lemon Twigs have another single out, and they really are in the form of their lives at the moment. This new one, which you can listen to below is called ‘How Can I Love Her More?’ On this new track, they say: “With “How Can I Love Her More?” we tried to bridge the

When governments act appallingly, we’re right to be furious with them. However, out of this anger often comes necessary and wild creativity. See, over in Chechnya, the powers that be have apparently banned music for a certain tempo. They have said that all music should “correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per
-
Trent Reznor, of NiN, has things to say about streaming, stating that the whole thing has “mortally wounded” many artists while talking to magazine, GQ. “I think the terrible payout of streaming services has mortally wounded a whole tier of artists that make being an artist unsustainable,” he said. “And it’s great if you’re Drake,

We don’t know Kebu, but we know we have seen something that made us beam with joy at the sheer existence of it. See, Kebu got his synths and analogue equipment out, learned how to play ‘The Chase’ by Giorgio Moroder top-to-bottom, and performed it live. That’s cool enough, but thankfully, someone filmed the whole

The Pet Shop Boys aren’t just any ol’ pop group are they? Viciously funny and equally smart. They’re ageing like a fine wine, and they have a new track out which proves exactly that. They have an album out later in the year called ‘Nonetheless’ and the new song is taken from that. It’s inspired
-
They’re a good pair Anderson Paak and Knxwledge, so it’s good to learn that they have a new LP coming out called ‘Why Lawd?’. It should be on the shelves on June 7 via the legendary Stones Throw, and there’s not a huge amount of information to go on, so obviously, keep an eye on
-
We fizzed with excitement when we heard Fabiana Palladino’s ‘I Can’t Dream Anymore’, and now there’s a full length debut album which saw Stereogum saying “they don’t make pop music like this anymore”, and Petridis enthusing and giving it album of the week over at The Guardian. It’s clear that Palladino is doing things differently.

Keith Haring is rightly having a renaissance these days, even if we’re a smidge worried that a few too many products have been licensed with his work. When he painted, Haring would listen to music and if you’ve ever wondered what he was listening to, wonder no more! The Keith Haring Foundation has compiled the

Look, we don’t make the rules – but L’Imperatrice are one of the coolest bands on the planet and the fact that they’re French and make a brand of Saint Tropez disco makes them even cooler. So, when they’re dropping an album, you should absolutely prick your ears up. This will be their third LP

Apologies if you thought this article was about the ace Habibi Funk comps that always tickle the pickle. It’s not, but don’t stop reading! This is a new group called Habibi and they’ve got new stuff out which is fun as shit. There’s a new track called ‘Do You Want Me Now’, and that’s taken

ST CHARLES SQUARE // BLUR
Not long ’til Blur are playing to a packed out Wembley, and reminding everyone that you can be really English while not being a gammon. With that, they’ve dropped another song from their forthcoming LP and it’s called ‘St Charles Square’ and reminds us of the eponymous LP with a healthy dollop of Modern Life…

LISTEN TO MORT GARSON (THERE’S A NEW THING)
You may have heard the brilliant Plantasia LP by Mort Garson – a gorgeous analogue synth LP designed to help your houseplants grow from 1976 – and if you have and get rightly excited about such things, there’s some good news! A new collection of his music is due out next month and it’s called…

PROOF THAT THE UNIVERSE PREFERS BASS PLAYERS
Get ready for the most satisfying phrase you’ll hear in 2023. Astronomers have been looking toward space, as they are want to do, and have noticed something super cool. They’ve been using their ears as well as their eyes, and have found a magic thing. A cosmic bass note. If you’ve ever ingested any kind…

CHEMICAL BROTHERS WHEEL OUT ANOTHER PSYCH DOOF-DOOFER
When you’re in the mood for some swirling psychedelia to accompany some arse-quaking 4/4s, there’s no-one able to scratch that itch quite like the Chemical Brothers. And honestly, there’s not many in the electronic field who have managed to maintain a career like they have, so they probably don’t need much help from tiny music…
