WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
if you’re in the market for some summery, retro, West Coast-ish yacht pop, you could do a lot worse than dig into the new track from Douglas A Benson. The track is called ‘On The Run’ and is taken from his forthcoming EP ‘Joys Of Growth’, which should land later in ’24. It’s going a

If you love those ace LPs that spearheaded electronic music in the ’60s and ’70s, you’re going to love the imminent LP from the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble. It’s a debut LP called ‘Heat Ray: The Archimedes Project’ and it has made in collaboration with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. Apparently, it was inspired by

Annie-Dog hails from Ireland and has a new single out and, honestly, we’ve not ever heard anything quite like it. That’s worth writing about in itself, because it’s incredibly difficult to be original in a landscape that has an algorithm that favours familiarity, and of course, decades of music using up most of the ideas
-
We nearly put a wrong photo on this article to see if anyone was paying attention, but that’s way too needy isn’t it? Instead, we’re just going to embed the video without too much ceremony. Besides, you’ve probably already worked out whether you like James Blake or not and we’re not going to influence you

Geoff Barrow surprised everyone with a new album from his Beak> project which is fun! It also comes with some surprise tour dates for those of you who love a pint and some live music. It’s the first new stuff in six years, and if you know what the previous LPs were called, then you’ll

Hey punkheads – there’s new music from Amyl & The Sniffers! There’s a couple of tracks for you to get your teeth into. In a bid to remind you that music is something to actively participate in, rather than passively soak up, we’re only sharing one of the songs so you can go find the

Bab L’Bluz are one of the most exciting and fresh rock groups on planet earth right now. A wonderful mix of psychedelic rock and North African music, their ‘Nayda!’ album is a modern masterpiece and a firm favourite here at THEPOPCORPS, and exactly the kind of album you’ll casually put on the turntable and have
-
There’s a number of bigger bands releasing stuff at the minute and they don’t need the promo and we’re not going to steal any traffic from the NME, so what’s the point? Instead, we’re all excited about DJ JakoJako’s new one called ‘Modus’. It’s a clicky, menacing, fun piece of techno which is no surprise
-
Look, we can’t lie – we think a lot of shoegaze and grunge is pretty crappy, and the newer versions of them that’s been doing the rounds hasn’t been too great either. Now, that’s not to say that there isn’t excellent shoegaze and grunge old and new – far from it. However, it’s all a

It can be confusing trying to keep up with genres and all that, and you can’t be expected to keep up with everything we’re saying. No drama. See, BANDSPLAINING is the finest channel on YouTube doing deep dives on cool shit and well researched, whip smart and fun. Looking at 2010s music, this video we’re

FRIPP & TOYAH HEAVILY FEATURING BREASTS, FOR THE CAUSE
It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…

PSYCHEDELIC TWANGS WITH IMMATERIAL POSSESSION
If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…
