WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
You need to be on the ball to keep up with JME as he doesn’t really do things like anyone else. Name another MC that stopped performing while they made money selling hoverboards. Right. Well, he’s put out a new hot banger, and he’s all out of track names. No fuss, no drama, no promo…
-
Fun, wholesome albums are hard to get behind a lot of the time, because they can sound insincere and wishy-washy in an environment where pop is required to be overtly sexy or have some kind of grievance. However, with Hilary Duff’s new album, she’s super easy to root for. She’s embraced the memes, she’s nostalgia…

Did you hear that Gnarls Barkley are getting back together and releasing their final LP? You probably did. Well, if you heard and just want to listen to the new track from CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse, scroll down. If you didn’t hear the news, the album will be called ‘Atlanta’, and it’ll be out March 6th,…

Tom Jenkinson AKA Squarepusher is releasing a new record which will be his SIXTEENTH release – impressive stuff. Of course, you can hear a new song from it below to whet your whistle while you wait for the whole thing. The album is called ‘Kammerkonzert’ and is out on April 10th on Warp. While you may…

It can be a heavy thing carrying a famous name, and that’s what the Womack Sisters have to deal with, what with them being the nieces of the legendary Bobby, BG, Zeimani, and Kucha Womack respectively. The girls have signed to Daptone and have a new single out called ‘You Went Away Too Long’, which…

In 1984, legendary alternative pop show The Tube decided to go to Berlin to see what was happening. The Cold War was looming large and the hipsters were out en masse – some of them dressing up like the Gestapo and vicars, as well as the classic Goth Punk looks of the time. Muriel Gray…

It is so nice to hear some music that is influenced by psychedelic music, but doesn’t lean wholly on that fuzz pedals and drone stuff that most gravitate toward. We geddit. We like Suicide and the Velvets too. And so, to Eggs On Mars. They’ve decided that instead of black denim jackets and Chelsea boots,…
-
Low energy delivery and genre hopping between a twee take on Drill, and like, early Noughties indie pop? If you want to feel ancient, you might need to put Feng’s new album on. And no, we don’t really know what genre it is. See, this music sounds like something that young people get mega excited…

When Bad Bunny name-checked Willie Colón is his mega-hit ‘Nuevayol’, he knew exactly what he was doing – he was placing himself squarely next to one of Puerto Rico’s greatest sons. Born in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents, Colón recorded some of Fania Records most legendary and culturally significant records. Fusing salsa, jazz, funk,…

Samm Henshaw has been making something of a name for himself, getting support from the likes of James Bay, Chance the Rapper, and various Radio One DJs, and based on this song we stumbled across, it isn’t surprising really. We tripped over ‘Hair Down’ which is a super soulful number, that has that kinda choral…

TALKING HEADS TO REUNITE [WAIT]
Tina Weymouth’s group – Talking Heads – are going to get back together. That’s bait, obviously. They’re not planning on stepping on stage to make music together BUT it might be a sign that, in their age, things might be mellowing between the members of the group. In fact, they’re regrouping for a Q&A with…

ELVIS ’68 COMEBACK DOC
Elvis’ comeback special in ’68 is a legendary moment in pop music. It marked a return to an artist’s roots for one, which wasn’t hugely heard of at the time and, furthermore, reminded everyone that Elvis could be insanely hot – especially when he appeared on screen in his Leather Daddy guise. Now, the TV…

FIEVEL IS GLAUQUE NEW TRACK IS GREAT
Have you heard of Fievel Is Glauque because you saw them supporting Stereolab? Have you not heard of them, but are interested in a band that supported Stereolab all the same? Well, here’s a new pair of songs from the group called ‘I’m Scanning Things I Can’t See’/’Dark Dancing’ and it’s super good and we…

HANS ZIMMER, MAIDA VALE, AND WE JUST WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING
Hans Zimmer has been made a co-owner of BBC Maida Vale Studios and, we can’t lie, we’re only writing about it because we want to say something else which is related. The BBC sold the historic venue which has been in operation since the ’30s, which has hosted The Beatles, Bowie, Dusty and you know…
