WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We could write a load of stuff about this, but there’s very little point when the contents of the video are so fun and wholesome that it speaks for itself. THUNDERCAT! YO GABBA GABBA! NPR TINY DESK! Press play immediately!

Before we round up the stuff from 2024 that we thought was great, we’re going to have a little fun predicting what might happen next year in the world of music. Outside of music, you have to wonder if those stupid Marvel films are going to trudge on. They probably will. Of course, it’ll be…

Look, we’ve been feeling poorly which meant no posts for a few days. However, we just saw this Fly On The Wall vid where producer The Alchemist is snooping around for loops with a tonne of records and it’s real nerdy and fun to watch. It’s with DAMNDUST and they’re in Bahrain, and you’ll like…

Do you like Kaytranada? Well, if you’re a European reader, the good news is that he’ll be doing a tour around Europe, which gives you the opportunity to shake your backside. Great stuff. This is part of the ‘Timeless Tour’, and this relates to the LP he released in Summer. Honestly, all these words are…

Streaming is hugely popular and, on the strength of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped graphics to social media platforms, it doesn’t look like it will be going anywhere, anytime soon. Or is it? In the immediacy, Spotify, Apple Music, and the rest, won’t be worrying too much as they continue to rake in cash, left,…

If you’re into Jazzanova, or even Todd Terje or Nu Genea, then here’s something you should get your chops around – the new single from Roi Turbo. The pair are two brothers who go by the name of Benjamin and Conor McCarthy, and they make the kind of music that crosses over out of the…

Shygirl really doesn’t miss, and has been making some killer party music for a while now. Unsurprisingly, she was invited to open for Charli XCX, to light the touch paper on Brat Summer. We like Shygirl in bouncy hip-house mode the best, so with the announcement of a new EP called ‘Club Shy Room 2’,…

A recent appearance on the new Kendrick LP, ‘GNX’, isn’t going to anyone’s appeal any harm. So with that, after a guestie, West Coast’s AZChike has released a new track while the iron is hot. It’s a clatterer and goes by the name of ‘Love Yo Weapons’, and you can hear it below. —

Nothing should surprise us when it comes to Paul McCartney’s creativity. The man has been making LPs bursting with ideas and songs that switch pace halfway through, making you wonder just how much weed he was smoking at any given time. Sometimes, it’s a playful spirit, sometimes, you can actively hear his attention span being…

Sharon Van Etten has a new outfit with The Attachment Theory, so sorry for making it sound like a solo cut with the headline, there. No matter, it’s a fine slab of molten rock ‘n’ synth which comes from the group’s debut LP. The track is called ‘Southern Life (What It Must Be Like)’ and…

ALASKA REID’S IMMERSIVE MUSIC
There’s a lot of talk around Alaska Reid at the moment and honestly, we’re playing catch-up as it seems there’s been hot talk about her for a while now. We don’t know everything, y’know? However, we listened to ‘Dogs & Girls’ by chance and it seems, along with the likes of Honey Gentry, there’s a…

NONAME X JAY ELECTRONICA ON FIRST NEW TRACK
Noname is getting heat on Twitter as usual, because Noname has got the temerity to care about things, so therefore any perceived minor indiscretion is blown up to all pointless proportion that you wonder where she gets the energy to anything at all. Thankfully, she does because she’s brilliant. And so, to things that matter…

MIX // SUPER FUNK, JAZZ, GOSPEL VIA DREAM CHIMNEY
If you’re not following Dream Chimney on the various socials, you really need to. They’re fine curators of balearic gems, jazz and funk, easy house and anything vibey to tap your Birkenstocks along to. Here’s their website and we suspect you can work out the rest. They’ve shared a mix from Dom Williams which we’ve…

GENESIS OWUSU WITH PRINCELY SYNTH FUNK
If you’ve been missing some future Prince-esque funk, then you’re in for a treat with the new one from Genesis Owusu! The new track is from the new and imminent LP ‘Struggler’ and if this is anything to go by, it’s going to be a total winner. It’s called ‘Tied Up’ and there’s not much…
