WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Look, we don’t make the rules – but L’Imperatrice are one of the coolest bands on the planet and the fact that they’re French and make a brand of Saint Tropez disco makes them even cooler. So, when they’re dropping an album, you should absolutely prick your ears up. This will be their third LP
-
Apologies if you thought this article was about the ace Habibi Funk comps that always tickle the pickle. It’s not, but don’t stop reading! This is a new group called Habibi and they’ve got new stuff out which is fun as shit. There’s a new track called ‘Do You Want Me Now’, and that’s taken

AI is a thing and an inescapable one at that. It’s been trickled into our lives and it doesn’t look like there’s a great deal anyone can do about it. Now, in manufacturing and science terms, it seems like a genuinely exciting use of this latest flame – but in pop culture, less so. Naturally,

After starting out in drag (and pretty much seeing it through for his career), Little Richard walked the tightrope of sacred and profane. ‘Tutti Frutti’ was originally about ‘tight booty’, before cleaning it up to be the greatest rock ‘n’ roll song ever recorded. It wasn’t all bangers about anal sex, but the run was

There’s a lot of great hip hop that never made it to vinyl for whatever reason, so it’s always great when someone reissues one and for the first time in many cases! With that, the always magic Be With have Superstar Quamallah’s ‘Invisible Man’ on the go, to celebrate it’s 15th anniversary. Want to know

New FREE RANGE radio time! You want the tracklisting so you can read what kind of stuff is on the show before pressing play? Coward! Okay, we’ll play along and give you the goods. Music from all over the world as ever, with new songs and older ones too. On this show, we fawn over

It’s very interesting that Beyonce has decided to release a country album, in part because it’s a revenge LP after the Country Music Awards committee snubbed her ‘Daddy Issues’ track – hell hath no fury like a wealthy celebrity scorned. It’s also interesting because Beyonce is such a megastar, you have to be curious to

Nature is fantastic and everyone knows that, but there is a mild reticence when people tell you to reconnect with it, sounding like awful crusties. Sam Lee is probably worried he comes off a bit like that – he pretty much said as much in a recent feature with MOJO – but he needn’t. He

We hadn’t heard of Parsnip before now, but on the strength of their new single ‘Behold’, we wish we had. Sugary sweet psychedelic music that remembered to write a song in the process? Yes please! We’re not surprised at all to learn that they’re an Australian band, because at the moment, all the great power

The amount of incredible music that’s buried by time or happenstance is criminal, and one such LP that deserves all the love you can muster is Planetary Peace’s ‘Synthesis’… but what is it? For fans of modular synths, DIY charm, acid folk and heartbreakingly gorgeous music, this needs to be on your radar. A husband

BLUE LIGHTS FROM JAYDA G NOT TO BE MISSED
She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

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…

03 GREEDO BUSS ME A SCRIPT
03 Greedo has served 5 years in prison and is out on parole and, out of the gate, he’s not messing around. He’s got a new track out called ‘Buss Me A Script’ which features Maxo Kream and it is haaaaaaaarrrrrrrd. There’s a new LP in offing too (might be a mixtape, might not be…
