WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

If you’re a fan of Jon Hopkins and his ambient things, you’re in luck! He’s just shared a preview of the new LP ‘RITUAL’, which we think is meant to be in CAPS, but it shouldn’t be, because it’d be more ambient to have it lower case. Anyway, as this is ambient, we have to

When Cornershop burned a photo of Morrissey in 1992, everyone should’ve been aware that a legendary band were in ascendence. Every time Tjinder Singh & Co do something, it is our civic duty to yell about it! And so, they’ve made a super fun video and a really cool re-do of their 2018 track ‘Double

Pop magpie Jim Noir is back again, emerging from a nest of wires and psychedelic hooks, and that’s always good news. He’s going to release ‘Jimmy’s Show 2’ on September 17th, collecting all the best songs from his Patreon bits and bobs, EPs and experiments. If you want to join Noir’s Patreon, you can do

Here’s a sweet mix from Vero G with Discodelic, and is full to bursting with Latin American gems! Vero G hails from San Francisco, and honestly, has a record collection that’ll make you jealous. Recorded live at the Discodelic store in San Francisco, and this is a channel new to us and we’ll be keeping

Pop music seems to be veering into the ditch in 2024. Now, this is not to say that it is in the ditch because it sucks, but rather, because there’s a brand of reckless, very silly, hedonistic pop that’s not too concerned with being polite and polished. If this is some kind of brat szn,

Remi Wolf seems to be someone who thought about putting all her ideas and buoyancy on a tight leash, but soon found out that it was impossible and they all just erupted out of the top of her head. On stage, she’s infectious and with so much energy that it can feel like watching someone

You already know who Rod Argent is – songwriter extraordinaire, keyboardist, and founder of the achingly wonderful group, The Zombies. Rod is going to immediately retire from the touring life after suffering a stroke, and we’d just like to wish him good health. Argent and the Zombies management team made an announcement, which you can
-
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is a silly band name, but that’s cool and they know it. They are a prolific band and there’s no-one quite like them as they veer from psych, to metal, to prog, to whatever else takes their fancy. They have a new album coming out called ‘FLIGHT b741’, and of

The annoying section of music fans who insist on saying ‘album cycle’ and ‘eras’ will be having a field day today as Katy Perry has released a new song, which signifies the start of her new ‘album cycle’ or ‘era’. It’s viral marketing talk for ‘having a new record out’, and of course, when there’s

Well, we told you about The Junipers brilliant new single, and now you can hear it and see it! It’s called ‘Annie Almond’ and it is a perfectly timed slice of psychedelic pop and they once again they prove to be the greatest band on the planet. The song is available exclusively on their Bandcamp

NEW APHEX TWIN
Our pal Aphex Twin is back with some new music, and it’s a mid-tempo breakbeat affair which won’t give you a nosebleed! Nice stuff, although we also like the nosebleed stuff too, for the record. It’s called ‘Blackbox Life Recorder 21f’ and it originally appeared on Soundcloud, then vanished, then reappeared on your favourite streaming…

BIG FREEDIA + LIL WAYNE
Big Freedia always goes hard and there’s a new LP due called ‘Central City’, which is exciting! That’s out this Friday, so you don’t have to wait long, which is even better! She’s sharing a track to whet the whistle called ‘El Niño’,” which happens to feature fellow New Orleans legend Lil Wayne and longtime…

WHO ARE PICTURE PARLOUR AND WHERE’S THIS HYPE COME FROM?
Hype is a dangerous thing. If you’re a hotly tipped band that’s come out of nowhere, suspicions are likely to be aroused. And so, to a headline from the NME, who are not impervious to a bit of shenanigans with their hype machine. Introducing Picture Parlour, the fearless rockers ready to take on the world…
