WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Here’s the first in what promises to be a sporadic round-up of some of the best shows that have cropped up on Mixcloud. We’re not on the payroll, but we’re hard-pressed to find a better platform for true music lovers sharing their radio shows and mixes for free for those who need ’em. There’s a…

We have already played the new, brilliant track from The Junipers on our radio show. If you tuned in, you’ll know just how fabulous it is to have the greatest band in the world making music again. If you didn’t, don’t worry. The Leicester band have released a video for ‘When She Turns’. The group…

We don’t know how we stumbled across the music of La Sécurité, but we did and played them on our latest radio show, not knowing that there was new music coming out – which it totally is, and we have some to share right here! The Canadian group make an infectious, post-punk-but-danceable racket, and have…

Kacey Musgraves is as camp as you can get, and it’s nice to hear her back in goofy mode, as that’s one of her best lanes. The gentle psychedelic strum of ‘Golden Hour’ and ‘Deeper Well’ isn’t present on this new track, ‘Dry Spell’. Instead, she’s horsing around a la ‘Pageant Material’, and it suits…

The encroachment of artificial intelligence in music is a very real problem and, largely, the businesses that make up the music industry have been somewhat slow to take any real stance on it outside of eyeing up financial opportunities, leaving it to musicians to voice their concerns. Well, something is happening with Apple Music where…

A lot of Neo Soul revivalism misses that freewheeling, experimentalism of the stuff they love, focusing more on jazzy chords and mid-tempo realism – however, what makes great Neo Soul is a certain psychedelic attitude which means albums are not straightforward affairs. Be it the fuzzy guitars and electric guitars lifted from psychedelic ’70s soul…

Lily Allen was responding to a tweet about criticism of her. The tweet asked where “this smear campaign” had come from, noting it had come “from nowhere”. Her reply stated “Oh its coming from somewhere, but we move!” Then, as evidenced by the image above, she added ‘Bots<Birkins’ Now, Allen’s album – ‘West End Girl’…

Harry Styles doesn’t need reviews to help him being a continued success. He’s kinda quirky and well dressed enough that will keep his fanbase rabid – the nice tailoring will keep him ahead of his peers whatever music he puts out. And so, to his new album, ‘Kiss All The Time – Disco, Occasionally’, which…

Tinariwen have a new single out called ‘Amidinim Ehaf Solan’ and it is a timely piece about the turmoil of the political situation in the world right now. Touhami Ag Alhassane says the track “speaks of patience and unity amid political turmoil, a reminder that even a thirsty land can turn green again.” The lyrics…

DOJA CAT, BLUE TICKS, TWITTER RANTING
This is 100% going to be an article that rants about the state of Twitter with the incredibly thin premise of being music related, because Doja Cat has said something funny about it. If you’re desperate for a Doja Cat music angle take – yes, she’s been a bit problematic and dim, and her next…

NEW NONAME IS GREAT NEWS
Noname is one of the most prodigiously talented rappers on the planet and wilfully at odds with the rest of the pack, which makes her music such a scintillating prospect. Melding beat poetry with Neo Soul, golden age funk, and a delivery that allows for both self-doubt and self-assurance, she’s been making some of the…

FYRE FESTIVAL II: SOMEBODY CALL THE SHITPOSTERS
Remember how we all laughed at the influencers when they got duped into the world’s most awful music experience at Fyre Festival? How we all snorted at the dry-ass cheese sandwiches, hell-scapes, bedlam and tall talk from founder Billy McFarland? Well, someone tell the meme-makers and shitposters, because it’s coming back according to McFarland. Maybe…

PURE SUNSHINE FROM BONNY DOON
Fun, sun-soaked piano pop? Thanks to the new one from Bonny Doon, we can shout YES PLEASE! The track is called ‘Let There Be Music’ and it’s the title track from the new LP they’re releasing with ANTI on June 16th. If the rest of the album is anything like this, then we’re sure to…
