WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
It is fair to say that Wolf Alice’s new album is pretty keenly anticipated, and they’ve got a new song out which is only going to add to any excitement from their fans. In fact, we’d suggest that the latest one might be the pick of the crop. It’s called ‘White Horses’ and it’s a…

Disclosure are always a whole load of fun when they’re collaborating with guest vocalists, and now they’ve dropped a track with Anderson Paak, which makes a lot of sense and we’re surprised it hasn’t happened before. With that in mind, it seems like this one has been on the boiler for a while. The group…

You may know Jehnny Beth from Savages, but now, we’re dealing with a solo record which goes by the name of ‘High Resolution Sadness’, and it is absolutely brutal and needs to be played loud enough to leak out of your headphones on the bus. This is from Beth’s second solo album, ‘You Heartbreaker, You’, which is…
-
What do you do when you’ve amassed an adoring, fevered set of fans and you need to occasionally tell them off? It’s something we’ve seen with Chappell Roan, and so too, with Ethel Cain, who is an underground sensation, now gently bursting overground. Before you even get to the music, you’re aware that there’s been…

Is it Nu Balearica? Is it Nu Age music? Whatever it is, there’s been a spurt in creativity in good vibe music that doesn’t make the demands off anyone as a listener, but is spiritually nourishing and washes over you with that good time feeling. As young DJs and dancers have found a parallel lane…

There’s something very wholesome and pure about Saint Etienne. That’s not to say they’re weedy nerds or anything, but their love of pop is an admirable thing, so the mere mention of them makes you feel all gooey, and that’s to be celebrated. So with that, they’ve shared a new song called ‘Take Me To…

One of the most infectious, dancefloor exploding tracks of the ’90s was the irresistible and utterly immense ‘Jump N Shout’ by Basement Jaxx, headed up by the irrepressible Slarta John who made the song erupt with energy and joy. Sadly, Slarta John – real name Mark James – has passed away, as confirmed by Basement…

Not THE Automatic – this is just Automatic. This lot are from Los Angeles and are signed to Stones Throw. They have a new single out which we think you’ll like. The new song is taken from forthcoming album ‘Is It Now?’, which you’ll be able to hear in full on September 26th from the…

We’re kinda not sure what music is being made by Nourished by Time, and honestly, that’s a good thing in the year of our lord, 2025. It’s so easy to get tripped up by genres, and here, we’ve got a song that has an applaudable free spirit. It’s not pop, it’s not freestyle, it’s not…

Everyone was scrabbling around looking for a password so they could hear Hayley Williams’ new music, we found it, nearly published it before it transpired that she’d removed all the music from her website. What a palaver. Well, good news is that she’s officially released the 17 songs for everyone to hear so we don’t…

UNHEARD PRINCE IS GO!
Since Prince’s untimely passing, the infamous Paisley Park vaults have been prepped to treat us fans with new and unheard bits and thanks to a new super deluxe version of ‘Diamonds and Pearls’, we’re being gifted two things to listen to and honestly, it’s all very exciting and very nerdy. So what have we got?…

FÖLLAKZOID WITH A BIG TECHY WHUMPER
We don’t know a huge amount about Föllakzoid so we looked them up. They’re Chilean, they’ve collabed with Atom™ and J Spaceman from Spiritualized, and most importantly, have a new and huge techno whumper out called ‘V-II’. Apparently, this is the first new music in quite a few years and there’ll be an album out…

HACKNEY DIAMONDS + THE STONES?
The Rolling Stones seem to be up to something. After the wild success of Paul McCartney’s viral campaign for McCartney III where he left clues all over the place about an imminent LP, it seems the Stones are at it now. An advert appeared in a local newspaper for a glass repair shop. The clues…

POPULATION II REMEMBER PROG
We don’t recall having hear of Population II before, but it’s obvious that prog never went away when you listen to their new track ‘C.T.Q.S.’ That’s not a criticism by the way. Only the weak turn their nose up at prog, and the equally weak like prog but can’t joke about it by saying ‘proggy…
