WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’ve featured Green-House on our pages a couple of times now, and we’re thrilled to share even more music as we’re completely rapt. They have a new album coming out on Ghostly International and to celebrate that, a second single has been issued which we’re completely in love with called ‘Under The Oak’. The new…

Things appear online and you just have to admire people’s ability to find stuff and share it with everyone without wanting recompense. Here then, we have one of the finest videos we’ve seen – a funk, gospel and soul revue from 1970 which stars Tina Turner, Five Stairsteps, Edwin Hawkins Singers, The Isley Brothers, The…

We are big fans of PinkPantheress here, and her album ‘Fancy That’ has rightly got a shedload of plaudits and enthusiasts. And then came the remixes, which were also a whole load of fun too! Well, now there’s a Four Tet remix which is a energetic little affair and not two artists we’d immediately put…

You need to be on the ball to keep up with JME as he doesn’t really do things like anyone else. Name another MC that stopped performing while they made money selling hoverboards. Right. Well, he’s put out a new hot banger, and he’s all out of track names. No fuss, no drama, no promo…

Fun, wholesome albums are hard to get behind a lot of the time, because they can sound insincere and wishy-washy in an environment where pop is required to be overtly sexy or have some kind of grievance. However, with Hilary Duff’s new album, she’s super easy to root for. She’s embraced the memes, she’s nostalgia…

Did you hear that Gnarls Barkley are getting back together and releasing their final LP? You probably did. Well, if you heard and just want to listen to the new track from CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse, scroll down. If you didn’t hear the news, the album will be called ‘Atlanta’, and it’ll be out March 6th,…

Tom Jenkinson AKA Squarepusher is releasing a new record which will be his SIXTEENTH release – impressive stuff. Of course, you can hear a new song from it below to whet your whistle while you wait for the whole thing. The album is called ‘Kammerkonzert’ and is out on April 10th on Warp. While you may…

It can be a heavy thing carrying a famous name, and that’s what the Womack Sisters have to deal with, what with them being the nieces of the legendary Bobby, BG, Zeimani, and Kucha Womack respectively. The girls have signed to Daptone and have a new single out called ‘You Went Away Too Long’, which…

In 1984, legendary alternative pop show The Tube decided to go to Berlin to see what was happening. The Cold War was looming large and the hipsters were out en masse – some of them dressing up like the Gestapo and vicars, as well as the classic Goth Punk looks of the time. Muriel Gray…

It is so nice to hear some music that is influenced by psychedelic music, but doesn’t lean wholly on that fuzz pedals and drone stuff that most gravitate toward. We geddit. We like Suicide and the Velvets too. And so, to Eggs On Mars. They’ve decided that instead of black denim jackets and Chelsea boots,…

BEREAL, BUT WITH SPOTIFY
It might be a bit of a stereotype to presume that vinyl-loving readers of these pages might see their toes curl up at the notion of any social media platform that requires you to take a photo of yourself, but y’know. Anyway, assuming that we might actually have some readers under the age of 35,…

GAYANCE + JARREAU VANDAL IS ACE
We fizzed with excitement about the Gayance LP, and we’re doing it all over again as she’s teamed up with Jarreau Vandal for an absolute bop. The track is called ‘No More’ and the track is out right now – but if you want to hear it first, then keep scrolling because obviously we’ve embedded…

VENGABOYS VERSUS A DIRTY DOLPHIN
Dolphins are proper dirty fuckers, and with that opening gambit in mind, the Vengaboys have something to tell you. Robin Pors, a Venga himself, said that a dirty dolphin assaulted him. Like that – it wasn’t a mugging. He brushed the whole thing off as a ‘compliment’, because when you’re a Vengaboy, you are irresistible…

SBTRKT X SAMPHA AGAIN
Remember when SBTRKT’s album came out and everyone went wild? That was fun. Well, one of the reasons was the emergence of Sampha on the LP, and on the next SBTRKT long-player, he’ll be back! They’ve reunited for the latest single off the upcoming ‘The Rat Road’, alongside George Riley, and honestly, it rollicks along…
