WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
She may be from Baltimore, but Eyas (Jenna Balderson to her pals) has seemingly taken inspiration from UKG with her indie-folk music, which sounds like it’d suck, but thankfully, it doesn’t. There’s a new EP afoot called ‘Quiet-loud’ and you’ll be able to hear the whole thing in late November. If you like what you

You can’t trust Tyler, The Creator. That’s part of his charm, right? He says he won’t be releasing any new music this year, and then almost out of the blue, a new album comes out and all the GOLF WANG devotees get their multicoloured trousers in a bunch and show the kind of unswerving devotion
-
Want to hear a previously unreleased Throbbing Gristle track? Well, Mute are putting a new release out called ‘TG BERLIN’, which is a fancy boxset that charts unreleased work in Berlin, around a series of live events at the Volksbühne in 2005 and 2006. It’ll see the light of day on 6th December, and of course,

Aminé is one of the more melodic rappers on the scene and when he’s on form, he’s an absolute joy to listen to. There’s new music afoot too, and you can hear two songs from whatever project he’s got planned for everyone. These are his first two songs of the year, which would suggest a

WHSmith are going to start selling records again and obviously, we’re hoping that they bring back the cool bags they had in the ’70s and ’80s while they’re at it. This is the first time the retailer will be selling vinyl in their stores in decades. Exciting stuff, and proof that the world of LPs
-
We all love Spinal Tap – only losers can’t quote huge bits of the movie and singing along to the likes of ‘Stonehenge’ and ‘Gimme Some Money’. Well, if you want the guys stood on your shelf full of fancy things, you’re going to love these new figurines. These figures from Super7 and feature David

While Kylie might be the UK’s Queen of Disco by repatriation, Sophie Ellis-Bextor is definitely in the conversation for someone who has served our dancefloors very well indeed. And she’s back with a new single which is, of course, aimed squarely at shaking your behinds along with. After the resurgence thanks to ‘Murder On The
-
Kate Bush spooks pretty easily, so while it’s okay to get excited at the prospect of new music from her, please don’t frighten her off with over-the-top proclamations and hype she can’t live up to, okay? Cheers, thanks, magic. No-one is listening, are they? She’s said, in an interview with Radio 4, that she’s got

DJ Magazine have been sharing some ace videos about dance hits with the people who made them. They’re all gold, honestly. This one stars Roni Size talking about the magical ‘Brown Paper Bag’ and what led him to the ‘New Forms’ LP and more. Super interesting, so press play.

George Harrison’s estate have been busy and put out an acoustic version of ‘Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) (Take 18)’ and now, we get an unreleased version of ‘Be Here Now’ for the anniversary of ‘Living in the Material World’. The LP was basically the album that paid for his Concert for

WANT TO SEE CRAZY TOWN HAVING A FIGHT?
You know Crazy Town don’t you? Come my lady, come, come my lady lol. Anyway, we’re not arsed about their music and we’re assuming you’re not either. An embarrassing, ugly fist-fight? COUNT US IN! You’ve probably already seen this, but it’s the weekend and we’ve gone to the pub and just scheduled this. The singers…

RICO NASTY VERSUS 100 GECS IS ALWAYS FUN
Rico Nasty makes mega fun club hip hop, and once again, we see they’re in a tagteam with 100 Gecs, so we’re in for a whole load of trouble as usual! The new track is called ‘Turn It Up’, and seeing as Rico Nasty coined the phrase ‘sugar trap’ about her music, it’s funny that…

YUSSEF DAYES BLACK CLASSICAL
There’s a new LP due from Yussef Dayes called ‘Black Classic Music’ on September 8th, and if you’re a head on the UK jazz scene currently, you’ll be more than aware of the swirl around the percussionist right now. Expect some heavy, heavy music for sure. Yussef Dayes, in jazzer form, shared his thoughts: “What…

KESHA IS NOT FUCKING AROUND
Kesha’s time with Dr Luke will go down in music history as one of the most troubling chapters we’ve seen, at least in recent years. There’ll be documentaries about it, for sure. Go acquaint yourself if you haven’t already, but get comfy, because there’s a lot to bone up with. If you know already, then…
