WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Amyl and the Sniffers have a new video out and there’s a lot of nudity in it. It’s the kind of video that, if you’re getting your knickers in a twist about it, then you’re the kind of uptight tool that could probably do with a bit of skinny dipping to sort yourself out. First,…

Who doesn’t love a bit of library funk? Well, the ace folks at Be With are putting out Geoff Bastow’s (library legend) ‘Music To Varnish Owls By’, which honestly, is one of the finest album titles you’re likely to ever hear in your life. Thankfully, the music is every bit as good. This is one…

If you’re a fan of cute indie pop with a twist, you’re in luck. This here, is a new song from Mei Semones and we’re hearing flickers of bossa nova and jazz mixed into her sound. Mei released an EP earlier in the year called ‘Kabutomushi EP’ which regrettably, passed us by. We’re off to…

Look, we don’t know how this is new to us, but here’s a great video of Nirvana – pre Nevermind – playing in a Radio Shack and it’s adorable as hell. What else is left to say? Just watch the video already.

Sometimes, someone does the work for us and all we have to do is simply point you in the direction of it. In this instance, it’s an interesting enough video (which has pretty protestant tastes, but we’ll let it slide) about the death of the double album. Now, there are 2xLPs in existence now, but…

After saying that she wasn’t bothered about the prestige of a needless arena tour, Chrissie Hynde is brilliantly speaking her mind again because she doesn’t give a fuck. We say that as a compliment. Now, Hynde has got under the skins of some wet-wipes this week because she’s asked fans not to continually command the…

‘Reset’ with Panda Bear and Sonic Boom was very warmly received by the psychedelic heads. Good news is that Panda Bear is back with new music, this time with ‘Defense’ featuring Cindy Lee. This is part of a new LP called ‘Sinister Grift;, which is coming out in February with the mighty Domino Records. Co-pro’d…

We’ve been really excited about the new album from the brilliant Dora Morelenbaum for a while now. With previous releases, we were reminded of the spirited bossa of the likes of Joyce Moreno and Caetano Veloso at his quieter, more poetic moments. However, on hearing ‘Caco’, the new work promised a broader spectrum of sounds…

It’s so obviously sad when a young person dies, and aged 31 years old, Liam Payne was no age at all. Whether or not it’s been apparent that Payne has been struggling in recent months, the fact is that, aside from his time in One Direction, his solo work and the fact that he’s spent…

Moog synths are great. They simultaneously sound like the future and the past, and everyone rightly loves them. So with that, the Capstone Theatre in Liverpool is going to have a series of celebrations to mark the 60th anniversary of the legendary instrument. If you’re not interested in any more words from us and are…

STOP BEING TOO HIP // ICE SPICE STILL FUN AS HELL
Ice Spice appeared out of nowhere to many, and she was a breath of fresh air. Pure, fun, hip hop to shake your arse with. Of course, hipsters started saying it wasn’t all that, while at the other end of the spectrum, people started defending her like she was the saviour of hip hop. Neither…

SOFIA KOURTESIS’ SMART DANCE
Sofia Kourtesis is a new name to us, but this track we just heard is an absolute gem that you need to start shuffling your feet to as soon as you can. The Peruvian (but based in Berlin, for what it’s worth) has announced an album called ‘Madres’ which we’re very keen to hear. It’s…

NED DOHENY / PEARL CHARLES TEE
As seen above, if you’re a fan of Ned Doheny, you’ve probably long lusted after a t-shirt he was seen in that simply reads ‘L.A. BABE’ on it. It’s an absolute beaut of a shirt, and new artist Pearl Charles agreed, as she got one of her own too! Both, clearly, are total babes. Well,…

REST IN POWER, SINÉAD O’CONNOR
Sinéad O’Connor has died aged 56. It’s strange to write about her passing as, like many music fans, we’ve spent a good amount of time worrying about. While O’Connor showed incredible strength for much of her life, it was obvious there were breaking points and, to be perfectly honest, much of the music press that…
