WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
In classic rock circles, sometimes a new group appears that’s so reverential to the past, that it’s missing all the verve and spontaneity of the thing it’s looking toward. If you’re someone who still goes out, still cares about new releases, you might concede that they’re kinda good at what they do, but the whole

He’s a bit of a legend around New York jazz parts is Alan Braufman. And because jazz doesn’t obsessively focus on music made by young people, we’re glad that Braufman is getting shoved to the front today, with a brand new single. There’s an album imminent called ‘Infinite Love, Infinite Tears’ and this is the

The Lemon Twigs have another single out, and they really are in the form of their lives at the moment. This new one, which you can listen to below is called ‘How Can I Love Her More?’ On this new track, they say: “With “How Can I Love Her More?” we tried to bridge the

When governments act appallingly, we’re right to be furious with them. However, out of this anger often comes necessary and wild creativity. See, over in Chechnya, the powers that be have apparently banned music for a certain tempo. They have said that all music should “correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per

Trent Reznor, of NiN, has things to say about streaming, stating that the whole thing has “mortally wounded” many artists while talking to magazine, GQ. “I think the terrible payout of streaming services has mortally wounded a whole tier of artists that make being an artist unsustainable,” he said. “And it’s great if you’re Drake,

We don’t know Kebu, but we know we have seen something that made us beam with joy at the sheer existence of it. See, Kebu got his synths and analogue equipment out, learned how to play ‘The Chase’ by Giorgio Moroder top-to-bottom, and performed it live. That’s cool enough, but thankfully, someone filmed the whole

The Pet Shop Boys aren’t just any ol’ pop group are they? Viciously funny and equally smart. They’re ageing like a fine wine, and they have a new track out which proves exactly that. They have an album out later in the year called ‘Nonetheless’ and the new song is taken from that. It’s inspired
-
They’re a good pair Anderson Paak and Knxwledge, so it’s good to learn that they have a new LP coming out called ‘Why Lawd?’. It should be on the shelves on June 7 via the legendary Stones Throw, and there’s not a huge amount of information to go on, so obviously, keep an eye on
-
We fizzed with excitement when we heard Fabiana Palladino’s ‘I Can’t Dream Anymore’, and now there’s a full length debut album which saw Stereogum saying “they don’t make pop music like this anymore”, and Petridis enthusing and giving it album of the week over at The Guardian. It’s clear that Palladino is doing things differently.

Keith Haring is rightly having a renaissance these days, even if we’re a smidge worried that a few too many products have been licensed with his work. When he painted, Haring would listen to music and if you’ve ever wondered what he was listening to, wonder no more! The Keith Haring Foundation has compiled the
