WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We like pop music, and we like it when it’s made by bands (we also like it when it has been made by a pop factory, we’re not being like that) and that’s what we’ve found with the new single from Yumi Zouma. It’s pop, but stripped down a bit, but anthemic and a whole
-
If there’s anybody in the whole world of music we wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of, it is Pusha T. There’s nobody with an aim truer than King Push, and besides, he seems to genuinely not give a single fuck what anyone thinks. He’s Teflon. Speaking to GQ, he spoke about Kanye.
-
It may have been released in February, but the chances of English readers being all. Over Biche’s magnificent album are slim, and an album doesn’t need to be fresh off the grill to get excited about. Fact is, it’s so hard to make original music in 2025, that when a band arrives that sound like

For fans of ’60s psychedelic rock, the Electric Prunes were always one of the more unique and brilliant groups. Their ‘Underground’ LP captured the eeriness of the West Coast counter-culture scene of the time, and their music endured. From ‘Get Me To The World On Time’ and ‘I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night’,
-
We have waxed lyrical about the music of Cheapskate before, and with the new single, we’re going to do it all over again. Cheapskate’s music is everything that you love about noirish Brit jazz, ’70s library music and now, with all the sun-soaked bliss of Mediterranean funk and analogue synth bits. ‘The Sea’ is smooth
-
The term ‘scream queen’ gets thrown around a lot, and often semi-unfairly – but there’s no denying the fact that anyone who stumbled out of seeing ‘In A Violent Nature’ knew that, in Andrea Pavlovic, there was a real talent afoot. The emotional maturity which she met such a grisly task, it isn’t surprising that
-
For all of the ills of YouTube and it’s relentless algorithm meddling, it’s still one of the best platforms for independent creators doing great things. This video is a mix of some pals hanging out, eating food, free styling, singing, playing tracks and generally being good for the soul. You need to press play on

Andy Shauf is in a band called Foxwarren and they’ve got a new song out called ‘Deadhead’, and like most things involving Shauf, it’s power-poppy, catchy, fun and all that good stuff. However, you NEED to see the video for the new track because it’s a slice of real oddball silliness. Almost like a Tim
-
‘Lord Willin’ is an all-timer of a rap LP, so it is worth getting excited that Pusha T and No Malice have started to roll-out the new stuff for their reunion. There’s a new LP called ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ which, brilliantly, seems to be a Marge Simpson quote. The first new album in over a decade,
-
Lorde’s new roll-out has been a pretty interesting one, with impromptu parties and such, and now a new song called ‘Man of the Year’, which is emotionally exposing in more than one way in the new video. Of the new LP – ‘Virgin’ – she’s sharing a new video where she throws herself wholeheartedly into

COUNTRY ROCK 70s GOODNESS FROM PETAL
Songs your dad loved are back in vogue thanks to a load of younger, possibly traumatised kids looking toward a simpler time of the ’70s or, at least, road trip radio stations, which sees younger artists wading into the comfort and flared jeans. With that, we tripped over a new song by Petal called ‘You…

RIP POP ART PUNK, FRANK KOZIK
Where would we be without subversive, playful pop-art? The LPs and gig posters of the world would be drab without those with a flair for visual art. And one of the best to do it, Frank Kozik, has sadly left us. So it’s only right to celebrate his work in the hope that someone else…

ARTY NYC LOFT PARTY SYNTH WIBBLES FROM DECISIVE PINK
You know when you walk into a record shop and they’re playing something a bit offbeat and wonky, and you don’t ask what it is, and it bugs you for a week as it’s got under your skin and you wish you can hammer it on repeat? Well, welcome to Decisive Pink’s new song, ‘Dopamine’,…

RIP RITA LEE
It’s absolutely true to say that Rita Lee is one of the most influential voices in Brazilian music history, as well as being a pioneer and revolutionary in South American rock & roll. Worldwide, shes one of the faces of psychedelic music, and after an illness, she is sadly no longer with us. Rita died…
