WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Stereolab fans, rejoice! That’s because Laetitia Sadier is doing some stuff, and while it’s not a reformation of your fave French Library record enthusiasts, it’ll do for now, right? Because obviously, she’s not gone Death Metal or anything. It sounds enough like Stereolab to scratch that itch you have for them. She’s got an LP

The hipster’s faves A24 are doing something. They’re doing something with the hipster’s faves, Talking Heads. And it involves Paramore too. Man, people are probably doing social media posts saying ‘I’M SCREAMING’ and ‘ACTUALLY SOBBING’ and all that jarring bullshit, aren’t they? Not to say that this won’t be a heap of fun, mind you.

It’s really great when you can hear how much ambition there is in a song. We’re not talking about tedious effort, but rather, someone really really trying to make something fantastic. And that’s exactly what we’re feeling about the new one from Sheer Mag, which is a massive pop-indie stomper. It’s called ‘Moonstruck’ and honestly,

Right now, we’ve never had so many gay and queer people in the world. Think of the past – it was outlawed, then we had people dying of AIDS, and rampant homophobia saw that when gay people weren’t hiding, they were dying. Society has progressed however, and now we’re afforded the beautiful site of openly

Ty Segall likes dogs. Everyone likes dogs don’t they? Handy really, as Ty’s new song is about exactly that. You get a points deduction if you said ‘do you like dogs’ in that voice that Brad Pitt does in that film, by the way. You’re better than that, c’mon. Anyway, this new song is called
-
David Nance (careful with the spelling of his surname there) & Mowed Sound have a new song out and, on first impression, we like it. It’s called ‘Mock The Hours’ and it’s a mix of garage goodness and jangly roots pop. He’s from Omaha we gather, and this is his first with new group Mowed
-
First Dates has started a new series on Channel 4 and honestly, we don’t watch it anymore. Not because it’s bad – we’ve just got other stuff on. However, the mere mention of the show reminds us of one of our favourite songs – ‘Pinball’ by Brian Protheroe. Protheroe has been the narrator of the
-
While overground rap has been a bit off and a lot of the critic faves have been a bit Old Head, you know hip hop’s underground is always cooking something up. Philly’s Skrilla has just put something out that’s evil and drill hot, just how we like it. While many MCs have relied on a
-
DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ – what’s to say other than they’re mysterious and the music is great? We’ll add that, in the brief correspondence we’ve had, they’re very funny and unswervingly lovely too. We can’t give you the gossip on their real identity though, because it’s all in the DMs. We considered writing a

David Corio kickstarted his career fresh out of university, freelancing for the weeklies and music rags in 1978. While in London, he began to take portraits and going to shows, and in part, he focused on reggae musicians. He’s no slouch – Corio’s portraits find themselves in the National Portrait Gallery, the V&A, the National

FUN PUNK IS BACK WITH THE LINDA LINDAS
Sure, it might be lazy turning something of a full article out about a single track because it’s new, but seeing as everyone on social media has forgotten how to do tip-offs about the new music they like in favour of hoarding it to themselves so they can unveil it at the end of the…

TRY ME, SAYS JORJA SMITH
We’d sorta forgotten Jorja Smith existed honestly, but she’s been off Stateside doing bits, and sadly for her the excitement and promise of her intial releases were pretty much quashed by rumours of getting off with Drake and being the person Stormzy cheated on Maya Jama with. Whether these rumours were true are worth nothing…

HARRY STYLES, LITTLE MERMAID, IT’S ALL MILDLY IRRITATING
You can be mildly irritated by things. Not everything has to be full blown hot take, does it? And the fact is, while Harry Styles seems like a decent enough fella, he’s mildly irritating us. A couple of really good pop songs and all that, the press run for ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ just made us…
