WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they…

Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault…

NEW SAMPHA
Sampha is back with new music and seeing as he’s one of the most interesting and unique voices in UK pop, that’s good news isn’t it? That’s rhetorical. Yes it is. This is his first single in six years, and it’s called ‘Spirit 2.0’. He’s not been lazy in the interim though – he’s been on…

LIVE // ROISIN MURPHY // TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN
It’s kind of annoying to refer to any musician by comparing them to someone else, but there’s this unavoidable thing with disco and dance music that makes you look at certain performers like they’re carrying the torch for the scene.
