WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’re new to Spacemoth and on the strength of the new track, we’ve been missing out! Spacemoth is actually Maryam Qudus who is out on the West Coast of the US, and is a producer as well as a fine musician. There’s a new album coming out called ‘Inward Eye’ which you can get stuck into…
-
Jasmín is new to us, but we’re always in the market for some heavy techno and dancefloor action, and her new track ‘It’s Girls Night’ caught our attention, being all deep and sophisticated as it is. She’s released this with Fabric Originals and the release – with other tracks we think – will get a…
-
We played ‘Roamer’ by Spill Tab on our latest radio show, and really liked it. Apparently, she’s from Thailand and has relocated to Los Angeles to make some really fun Alt Pop (we’re not entirely sure of the genre there, honestly), with bedroom production DIY chic mixed with some New Wave goodness. Well, we thought…

To simply refer to Asha Bhosle as an iconic singer doesn’t quite capture the influence and reach of her towering voice in Bollywood and Indian culture – she is one of the defining voices of any generation, and she has passed away aged 92. Spanning eight decades, Bhosle recorded tens of thousands of songs and…

One thing that’s really nice about The Lemon Twigs, is just how prolific they are. They always seem to have new music out, which keeps us (and them) entertained. And the quality isn’t letting up, which is pretty remarkable. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Look For Your Mind’ and there’s already singles…

Kelela is back, and it’s a little bit different from the artist you knew. She’s burned down her socials and whatnot, to start afresh, which would point to her releasing a new album, or new ‘era’ if that’s your thing. You can listen to ‘Idea 1’ right now, of which she says is about “what…

The latest radio show is here made by us – FREE RANGE / APRIL 2026 – and there’s loads of good music to be had and listened to for free, because that’s how we do things here, right? No sponsors – do it for the love of the game. There’s music from Trinidad, Brazil, Niger,…

ARE BOARDS OF CANADA COMING BACK?! Look, something is happened, and while you’d be wise to not get too excited, it’s hard not to. They’ve not released anything since 2013 with ‘Tomorrow’s Harvest’, but now, they’ve sent some VHS tapes to some fans and as you’d expect, nothing is clear or straightforward. The people who…

Aldous Harding has released a new track and what we’ve learned from it is, the new album of hers is shaping up to be very, very good indeed. The LP goes by the name of ‘Train on the Island’, and you can hear the whole thing on May 8th. The first single was ‘One Stop’…
-
With Elmiene’s album, Ego Ella May’s new album ‘Good Intentions’ is a gorgeous one-two punch of jazzy R&B goodness. For fans of Gilles Peterson’s radio show, for Sade heads, for Neo Soul crunch types, for anyone looking for music that feels like jazz, but forward faces, Ego Ella May is the artist for you. Raised…

SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS AGAINST RAMMSTEIN
Rammstein, only days ago, were subject to mildly amused news articles about singer Till Lindermann falling off stage. However, things have got serious and quickly. The band have had to address numerous allegations which alleged that a fan was drugged at a party by Lindemann before the band’s recent show in Lithuania. In a long…

ROYAL BLOOD REMIND EVERYONE WHO LOW ROCK CAN GO
When you go to your work’s Christmas party and get talking to Kevin from accounts for the first time, you get talking about music and he says he “likes a bit of rock” before telling you he’s seen Royal Blood more times than any other band, you’re like “huh?” then it kinda adds up. That’s…

PSYCHEDELIC MIX FROM LÉNA C
Léna C has been making waves with her brilliant record selections for a minute now, and even better is that she’s put some cool tunes out of her own. Léna’s ‘Promenade’ EP is a firm favourite at Pop Corps (check it out here). Now, she’s done a brilliant psych folk mix for the magic My…

HALEY BLAIS IS LOOKING FOR PROBLEMS
Haley Blais is apparently a YouTuber. We don’t really know anything about that. What we do know is that her new single is called ‘Matchmaker’ and it’s cool! It’s classic Bedroom Pop, which is always super charming when done correctly. It’s almost the introvert version of garage rock, isn’t it? It’s all enthusiastically and amateurishly…
