WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
A new LP from Iggy Pop is always a roll of the dice, not that anyone is holding that against one of the greatest to ever do it. When he’s great, he’s untouchable – and then there’s the other Iggy who we’re rooting for and thinking about ‘No Fun’. So, a new album called ‘Every…

De La Soul – bright clothes, witty, funny hip hop. They ushered in the Daisy Age and… well… they’ve always seemed pretty miserable since then haven’t they? One of the reasons they’ve been so moody is streaming. They just want to get paid and be treated fairly don’t they? That’s fair. They’ve also taken to…

They’re mean. Every track is a diss track. Against who? Someone with receding hair. Someone boring. Copycats. Cluck clucking bitches. Waking up at 8am. You name it, they’re over it already. Like over exposed Instax shots at some NY loft party circa 2005, like early mixtape culture mixed with Kreayshawn’s Internet savvy, obscure electronica 45s,…

Hey look! Some new music from the Lemon Twigs. And they’re in dreamy mode, with an achingly lovely number called ‘Corner Of My Eye’, channelling all that lovely ’60s and ’70s music that they always do. This is the first new bit of music we’ve had from the precocious D’Addario brothers in a couple of…

There’s been a lot of talk about artificial intelligence and, honestly, despite only being a matter of weeks old, we’ve considered getting AI to write all our articles for us, because sometimes it seems that social media is made mostly of bot accounts, so we may as well them them all talk to each other,…
-
It is funny how society ends up accepting what they once thought was evil and scary. Look at Iron Maiden – once accused of being satan worshippers and slaughtering your daughter and all that. Now, they’ve got their own beer and one of them flies other celebrities on his plane and all that. Now, they’re…

You’ve seen Daft Punk without their masks on right? You’re either old enough and saw them live before they got famous enough to afford their fancy robot personas, or you’ve used the internet before and have a curious mind. If not, and it never occurred to you to have a search – good for you…

If you’ve been pining over some cutnpaste goodtime house adjacent music, where are you going to go apart from maybe your old Avalanches LP, Ross From Friends, and maybe some lo-fi mixes on YouTube? Well, turns out theres a mysterious new artist on the block with a wilfully silly name that we can’t get mad…

You’re one of the most famous singer songwriters on the planet, and you bustle into a record store late night, and you’re Neil Young holding bootleg copies of stuff you’re on. Hoo boy. The video below is exactly that, and the guy behind the counter is a genuinely great supporting character, seemingly not fussed that…

Yungblud thinks sex will “save the world”, while also very much having a nose like a two-pin plug. The singer, who you look at and just want to poke a travel adapter in before you trying charging your phone up, insists that the “expression and freedom” of making sweet, sweet shags, is a sure fire…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

COACH PARTY // LOUD AS FUCK
Coach Party are very hotly tipped and all that jazz, and while the world is a mess, it seems like mostly, everything is going a bit more melodic after countless post-punk-lite groups. Not everyone is sunshine and lollipops though, as Coach Party have just unleashed a venomous new track that’ll clear the cobwebs out! It’s…

KNEE-JERK REVIEWS ARE OVER
Some albums get better if you leave them a while. Stop trying to be first. Stop trying to find the hot take. Be cool. Let it marinate.

DIGGA D NEW ONE IS A BIT OF ALRIGHT
Are you interested in the new one from Digga D? You should be, because it’s a great little track. It’s called ‘Facade’ and it’s one of the crispest tracks we’ve heard in ages. From UK Drill to relative international stardom, the 22 year old is on his fourth project already, and it’s called ‘Back To…

LIKE POWER POP? GET THE NEW BALLARD!
We can never speak for the artist, so it’s always a bit strange likening their music to anyone else’s. However, we’re reasonably confident that saying the new one from Ballard is something of a love letter to Pub Rock a la Nick Lowe, in that it’s goodtime, honest Power Pop, that’s also not afraid to…
