WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’re big fans of Fievel Is Glauque’s music – mixing psychedelia with electronics, jazz, space pop, and all manner of great record collector stuff! They have a new LP coming out, which is fantastic news – it is called ‘Rong Weicknes’ and you be able to get your paws on it in October via Fat…

Tim Heidecker is something of a renaissance man, although he’d probably rinse you for saying something like that about him. Broadly, he’s known for being a stand-up and comedian, but he’s also prone to making music which while witty, is more sincere so don’t expect him to be doing bits. His ‘Work From Home’ is…

Sometimes, a song title is so good that you need to just write it as the literal headline and then share the song.

Phones eh? They’re responsible for that fun gig you watched on YouTube for a band that never played in the country you live in. They’re responsible for that video where someone lost their shit on stage and made the news, and now we all got to see it rather than relying on someone’s word for…

We’ve featured Dora Morelenbaum on these pages before so we’re excited to share that she has her debut LP coming out soon! With a mix of bossa, samba and psych, Dora’s music has showcased her to be one of the most exciting new Brazilian artists in the scene. The new album is called ‘Pique’ and…

Outside of Japan and Korea, everything is a little bit Solo Artist, so it’s lovely to see the flame of girl groups still being carried by FLO who have been doing good bits for a while now with their brand of R&B infused pop music. They recently shared their new track ‘Check’ which they have…

We appreciate that some people like it when rock and rap mix. There’s no accounting for taste and all that, but the nadir of the late ’90s and early ’00s when Woodstock went from a peace and love festival and turned into an awful frat house party filled with rap-rock groups shows just how dismal…
-
Britney Spears has, shall we say, had a very full life. It hasn’t all been peaches and cream, which means news that her life will be getting the biopic treatment is tentatively good news. We say it tentatively because not all biopics are good, but we are 100% rooting for this one because we think…

It all felt somewhat inevitable that young people would look at the streaming model and wonder why they didn’t have anything to show for their money. Obviously, the convenience of having most of the world’s music in your pocket is a miracle of a thing, but when you look around your room or your house…

Look, the rap musical Hamilton was awful. You don’t need to point out how successful it has been, how Lin Manuel Miranda is probably a nice guy, or even how much you liked it – it stunk. One dimensional rapping over old-head beats performed by a cast portraying a bunch of racist white dudes who…

NED DOHENY / PEARL CHARLES TEE
As seen above, if you’re a fan of Ned Doheny, you’ve probably long lusted after a t-shirt he was seen in that simply reads ‘L.A. BABE’ on it. It’s an absolute beaut of a shirt, and new artist Pearl Charles agreed, as she got one of her own too! Both, clearly, are total babes. Well,…

REST IN POWER, SINÉAD O’CONNOR
Sinéad O’Connor has died aged 56. It’s strange to write about her passing as, like many music fans, we’ve spent a good amount of time worrying about. While O’Connor showed incredible strength for much of her life, it was obvious there were breaking points and, to be perfectly honest, much of the music press that…

NEW BLACK GRAPE, SURPRISINGLY
Black Grape have announced a new LP, which we didn’t see coming. They might have been talking about it for ages for all we know, but that’s not the point. We’re surprised and it’s not wholly unpleasant, is it? The group, of course, are a project of Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays) and Kermit (Ruthless Rap…

HA HA THIS IS FINE, GOOGLE AI TO READ YOUR MIND
Much like recreational drugs, AI is a fine toy to muck around with if you already know what you’re doing, but wildly annoying in the hands of know-nothings with loud mouths and their hangers on who think it’s the future maaaaan. Anyway, with that, like recreational drugs, we’re going to have to live with it…
