WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Pop’s best You Can’t Sit With Us pair, Coco + Clair Clair are back with a new album after dropping the achingly cool ‘Aggy’ [listen here] which cements their place as one of the more unique acts to hail from Atlanta. With their to-the-minute slang, they’re snarking again and saying “delulu” and, while those would…

If you’re interested in our sister radio show – FREE RANGE – it is published an online and features great music new and old, including some of the music we’ve covered and reviewed on these very pages. There’ll be music from The Junipers, Nick Waters (LP review here), some cosmic country, some hidden gems, and…

Look – not all music needs to be deep. Sometimes, you just want something that sounds summery as the month you’re in, and that’s exactly what we’ve got with this new one from Cordae and Anderson .Paak. It’s a backpackish affair, but not in that conservative, boring way – it’s just a soulful jam session…

Are Amyl & The Sniffers punk? Are they something else? Does it matter? No. They’re back though and have things to say and noisy guitars, so strap in. They’ve got a new LP coming out – the first in three years – and it is called ‘Cartoon Darkness’. There’s a new single to listen to…

Godspeed You! Black Emperor – everyone’s noisiest gig they’ve been too – are back with a new album soon, and it has a typically awkward ame for the time being, which is comforting. We don’t want GY!BE being all cuddly, do we? Not one bit. This new album is titled “NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340…

Oasis have got back together and that’s great/terrible news. Millions of people have reacted to the shock reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher with unadulterated joy/weariness as the pair set about assembling a group for some live shows which are sure to be epic/a massive letdown. Of course, Oasis are responsible for some of the…

Yaeji’s hyperactive electronic pop can veer in all directions, but we’re very glad to report that the new one is aimed squarely at the dancefloor and phasers are seemingly set to ‘banger‘. The new track is called ‘booboo’ and, after moving away from clubland, it seems they’re back at it and taking names and numbers…

Niche genres are a silly thing music fans and record collectors love to indulge. Even if you can settle on the specifics of these genres, you then get to the meat and potatoes of pointlessly ranking things. We’re not going to rank them here, even though we were tempted to in a lousy bid to…

Ever find yourself in this situation? You think you’ve stumbled across someone amazing that no-one else is on, you go to follow them on Instagram and see everyone’s already on it? You preemptively thought about letting everyone in on a new and exciting thing to find out that they may well end up thinking ‘about…

We don’t know much about Nicole Miglis, but we’ve heard some hype. Now, hype can be a terrible, terrible thing – but it also sometimes just means that people are excited about something new, so lets lean into the latter and go with the good flow shall we? Miglis has a new LP tomorrow which…

JAH SHAKA, RIP
One of the most influential people in British bass culture has sadly left the building. Jah Shaka is a magnificently important person when it comes to soundsystem culture in the UK, in part, paving the way for so much music that follow in his footsteps. Born in Jamaica, part of the post-Windrush wave, based in…

ROSS FROM FRIENDS HERE WITH A BOUNCY THING
Let’s face it – there’s not many better names on the front of a record than Ross From Friends. We can only think of DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ as one we like more. For those not initiated, Ross From Friends makes dance music and a lot of it absolutely slaps. And handily, there’s a…

DAWN RICHARD CHEWS BUBBLEGUM
When Dawn Richard releases new music, you owe it to yourself to listen up. She’s terrifically underrated and versatile and time and time again, she makes wonderful and interesting things. With that, she’s back, and we’re thrilled! The new song is called ‘Bubblegum’ and it’s a whole tonne of maximum fun. Richard has gone super…
