WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Obviously, the story surrounding Young Thug’s RICO charges in the US is incredibly serious and very complex. If you’re looking for a serious, considered piece about this whole affair, then you should look somewhere else because, frankly, if we even hint at a sober thought, we’re too emotional and too bias and will fly off…

At the turn of the ’80s, the yoof TV show Something Else had a great featurette on punk in Belfast. If you like local scenes, spotty kids and derelict streets, you’re in for a treat! Of course, ’80s Northern Ireland means – by law – you have to mention sectarianism and The Troubles. We’ve now…

Everything But The Girl are back and it’s easy to worry about such a thing, because older acts can embarrass themselves sometimes. Not the case with Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt though because they love pop music and don’t muck around. It’s their first new tune in 24 years and it’s called ‘Nothing Left To…

Not one of our writers really knows anything about K-Pop because historically, we’ve always covered rock and indie music. However, rock and indie fans don’t generate as much internet traffic as they used to and K-Pop fans apparently do, so we’re going to pretend we’ve always had a soft spot for pop music, and cover…

It’s hard to sound original when there’s been so much music released, ever. However, Daniel Villareal is one of the most original musicians on the planet and you should get into him right now. Melding psychedelic jazz with dubs, post-rock, samba, spiritual music, electronics, and the kitchen sink, Villareal is a truly formidable and very,…

So they can join the ranks of such luminaries as Dervish, Dustin the Turkey, and Nicky Byrne, John Lydon’s group Public Limited Image are going to compete to represent Ireland at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. They’re entering a new song called ‘Hawaii’ which is neither in Ireland, or Europe. Not that it matters much,…

Morrissey is routinely awful, and yet, there’s many people who give him the time of day still despite aligning himself with literal fascist politicians and saying ropey stuff about the people of other nations. With all that, many have speculated that Miley Cyrus’ withdrawal from his (next) LP was probably something to do with his…

The world of music journalism is filled with entitled chancers and brazen liars. We don’t exclude ourselves from this, but we have the basic decency to embrace it. Given that music publications and departments at newspapers are incredibly keen to thwart any new blood treading on their toes and stopping anyone from getting in the…

Baritone vocals, intense music, soundscapes about alienation in the inner city and videos shot in black and white with a twangy bass and everyone in long overcoats hoping someone asks them what new wave Polish cinema they’ve been watching? Sounds like Joy Division doesn’t it? Well, yes. If you like bands that either sound like…

ARTISTS SAYING ‘NO’ TO TOURING // IS TOURING ALL THAT?
Miley Cyrus has spoken about her new LP to Vogue, and said something rather interesting about it. Basically, that she doesn’t want to tour. She said that “singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn’t really the thing that I love.” She added: “It’s been a minute. After the last [headline arena] show I did,…

Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan
The third album from Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan (best band name in the world, incidentally) is afoot, so if you’re into glacial atmospherics, gorgeous fonts and retro-futurist ambient electronic music, you’re in luck! ‘Districts, Roads, Open Space’ is a soundtrack to the inside of your head while thinking about concrete and council hallways. Smarter people…

NEW DOT ALLISON
Dot Allison, who heads will know from being in One Dove and generally being ace, has new music out. The song is called ‘Unchanged’ and is taken from forthcoming long-player ‘Consciousology’ which will be released on July 28th. The LP features Andy Bell – former Ride guy, Oasis man, not him from Erasure [delete as…

NEW NXWORRIES THEN
NxWorries – that’s one part Anderson .Paak and one part Knxwledge, shaken vigorously and served over ice – have shared their first song of 2023, which happens to be from the forthcoming LP that’ll be released on Stones Throw. ‘Daydreaming’ is the usual smooth-ass R&B which we all like, and comes with a video that was made…
