WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
There’s few things we like more than a dance track that clicks and pops, chugging along and making you think of imaginary Andrew Weatherall sets and more. Well, we are enjoying Tyondai Braxton’s new track – ‘UNFS’ – which you can also hear on a new album called ‘Splayed Werks’. The album won’t land until…
-
It has been nearly three decades since Lauryn Hill released her ‘Miseducation Of…’ album. That’s an eternity in music, but there’s no doubt that she made an all-time classic which would be hard for anyone to top. She hasn’t released a follow-up to it, and honestly, most of us have given up on the idea…
-
Dent May has been making glorious pop-rock for ages now, covering McCartney-ish harmony and Power Pop gems, with a dash of New Wave and more. He’s one of the best to do it, honestly and you’re probably already a fan Well, good news – he’s back with a new track and news of a new…

Chloe Slater has been causing quite a few waves with her brand of alt-pop, noisy business. And there’s a new single to listen to called ‘UGLY’, which hits out at beauty standards, consumerism and all that bad stuff foisted upon Chloe and women in general. Looks like Gen Z have had it up to here with…
-
We’re always in the market for music that reminds us of soft psych, like Millennium and The Free Design, and mix it with gorgeous psychedelic folk, and you’re really speaking our language. And so, to Biita Houdei who has a beautiful, joyful new song out called ‘Life Inside The Hourglass’, which is instantly charming and…

Do you like PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, Snail Mail, St Vincent and the Pixies and the like? Well, if you don’t have Blondshell on your radar, you should, because we’re picking up strong classic rock, grunge, NYC loft parties and boots on the ground indie in her music. There’s a new single called ‘Heart Has…
-
We don’t know too much about Ibeyi, other than they’re dubbed as ‘French-Cuban’, which is a dynamite pair of musical cultures to collide into each other, if you ask us. And on the strength of the song we just heard, well worth keeping an eye on! They have a new LP coming out called ‘Offering’…

When Jorja Smith is in the mood, there’s few people who can make dancefloor ready music quite like her. She is truly the best of all things British music, and with her new single, she’s gone and done it again. She is, apparently, entering a ‘new chapter’, which we’ll no doubt hear more about in…
-
Are you kidding? That’s too much music for one sitting. That’s too many songs at the same time to wade through. That’s like, a million tracks or something. There’s other music that needs listening to as well, right? So, with that, let us simply guess what’s contained within these THREE albums all released at exactly…
-
Sometimes, we give you the tip-off as we stumble into it, rather than hoarding it while we form an opinion – it is sometimes better to just yell ‘Hey! Check this out! This might be cool and we should all find out together!’ With that, we just listened to ‘Cola’ by Namasenda who is apparently…

RUMOURS ON NEW MCCARTNEY ALBUM + DUNGEON LANE
There’s been rumours swirling of a new album from Paul McCartney, and he’s been sharing playlists and whatnot, which feature an emoji of a bird. Well, here’s some unverified rumours which we’re definitely sharing because if we’re right, we we can shout TOLD YOU SO, and if we’re wrong, ah well. The new album is…

PRIMITIVE RING’S FUZZY NOISE
Primitive Ring are LA based noiseniks who are, in some way related to Ty Segall for what it’s worth, and they have a new track out that reminds us of fun stuff like Bongzilla and The Melvins and psychedelic garage punk and all manner of good stuff! They’re gonna release their new self-titled album on…

THE WELCOME RETURN OF 6LACK
6LACK’s ‘East Atlanta Love Letter’ is one of R&B’s modern masterpieces, and fans will have been playing his back catalogue to death while waiting for a new album. Good news is that there’s a new one due on May 22nd, called ‘Love Is The New Gangsta’. More importantly for you now, is the new track…

ARE STEREO CONSOLES COMING BACK?
If you’re old and remember them, or are young and like looking at vintage gear, you’ll know all about those gorgeous consoles that featured in homes. Consoles, for the uninitiated, were beautiful pieces of furniture that housed a record player, speakers, an amp, and sometimes other things like radios and storage. They were the entertainment…
