WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
You may not know this, but thankfully we’re on hand to let you in on the secret – The Junipers are the greatest band in the entire world. Melding heady psychedelia, bubblegum pop and baroque rock, there’s no-one quite like them. Impossibly catchy, superbly crafted and two tonnes of fun, they’ve been hibernating for a…

Even though Keir Starmer looks like he listens to The Smiths, presently, there’s enough reasons to be cheerful by virtue of the fact that the UK’s political landscape should settle down and y’know, Labour aren’t The Tories and they might actually listen. Of course, they’re politicians so no-one in their right mind should get their…

Where have our paragraphs gone? Why are all the words bunched up like that? Look, if we had the answers, we would have fixed it already. It is being looked into. If everything goes screwy, it’s because we’re in the back room shovelling coal and pulling levers and half hoping it fixes itself.

Camila Cabello can’t seemingly catch a break. Whether it’s poor advice or self inflicted is largely a moot point, because the basic kicker is that ‘Havana’ aside, her career has seen her become famous, but not cool. We’ll stay away from the tittle-tattle that may or may not make her a divisive pop figure and…

For those who know who Cornelius is, you’ll need know introduction. For the rest, he’s one of the finest musicians that Japan has ever produced. To his pals, he’s Keigo Oyamada, and he’s bounced around genres from electronica, to Kosmiche, to music that saw him dubbed the “modern day Brian Wilson”. Whatever he is, you…

Wipeout was a behemoth of a video game, which saw gamers racing anti-gravity vehicles at breakneck speed on the PlayStation. That’s fun and all but that’s not the whole story. See, anyone who remembers it and liked to have their weekends chemically altered, they knew that Wipeout had one of the most banging soundtracks of…

Any excuse to share a banger of a set (and in places, utterly undefinable and gonzo) from one of the finest Frenchmen to ever live, Mr Oizo. There’s big 4/4s, disco, pop, broken electronics, fierce edits and super crunchy synths galore. Fuckin’ magnifique!

Are you one of those people who thinks of festivals as things that belong to rock music still? Well, times have changed. From the ’90s onward, Glastonbury embraced dance music, hip hop and increasingly erred on the side of pop music. Of course, glancing at the line-up for the 2024 show, it’s not like rock…

Listen, this video drop from Kendrick Lamar had over a million views in under an hour, so it’s not like we need to tell you ‘Not Like Us’ summer continues… But here we are. There’s going to be some forensic dissection of this and people going through it frame by frame, so until then, let’s…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

NABIHAH IQBAL HAS A GEM IN ‘DREAMER’
There’s a sense that all the best new music coming out in 2023 is blessed with an ethereal sense of finally getting outside. Be it chugger daytime dancers, or dreamy psychedelic music, there’s a feeling of finally touching some grass after being stuck inside and nervous for too long. So with that, we go to…

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…
