WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Cameron Crowe – you know him from the brilliant but don’t think too hard about it or it ends up feeling a bit problematic Almost Famous – is apparently doing a movie about Joni Mitchell. Now, Joni is the realest of the real, so this feels long overdue, however, movies about musicians are often not…

And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

Fans of drinking pints and classic Electro compilations – this is a niche but perfect article for you! For the 40th anniversary of the legendary comps, there’s some special beer being brewed, and boy, the whole thing is handsome and great. The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing…

There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots…

These K-Pop bands are a massive, multi-million dollar business and on one hand, it’s great to see young pop fans getting into music that is spoken in something that isn’t English. However, there’s a big problem – what’s with all the Nazi stuff?! The most recent news concerns Chaeyoung who is a member of Twice.…

If you asked ‘Missy who?’ after reading that headline, then maybe this isn’t the website for you. Anyway, there’s been a lot of noise around FLO this past year, and Pop Justice’s Peter Robinson is a fan and genuinely, that’s something you should always take notice of. They won a BRIT Award, so they’re absolutely…

Initially, this article was just going to be a video of a very tired, very angry baby. We bailed on the idea, because that one time someone reviewed a Jet LP with nothing more than a video of a chimp drinking it’s own piss was effectively the pinnacle of that kind of thing, and has…

BONGZILLA. Just read that name back. It’s great isn’t it? Read that on a festival line-up, and you’re taking notice aren’t you? Handily, it perfectly captures their sound too – thick, heavy doom psychedelic rock. They’ve got a new song out which does exactly what you want to it to, called ‘Hippie Stick’, and they’ll…

GORGEOUS PROTO SAMPLER VIDEO
A piece of vintage kit that’s somewhere between a proto sampler and mellotron? YES PLEASE! A superb lo-fi thing shown off by the YouTube channel called HAINBACH, you see a kinda synth that uses floppy records to loop from and has all manner of cool and cute rhythms, and some gorgeous ambient synth tones. It’s…

NATURE TV NEW ONE IS WELL NICE
We’re very happy that there’s a spate of soft-pop knocking around at the minute. Focusing on gentle catchiness and easy-on-the-ear stylings, one of the most pleasant songs we’ve heard in a while is from Nature TV. The track is called ‘Frida’ and it’s a cuddly, warm thing and is set to feature on a new…

SELENA GOMEZ IS THE MOST LIKEABLE POPSTAR ON THE PLANET
There’s no popstar on Earth more likeable than Selena Gomez. Have you seen ‘Only Murders In The Building’ yet? She’s wonderful in it. Camp cult classic? ‘Spring Breakers’, everyone. A celebrity makeup range that is actually good and people sincerely like it? You bet. Came out of relationships with other celebrities looking like an actual…
