WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Mildlife are an Australian band designed for dancing too. However, it’s also very much music of the head too, as they’ve been dubbed variously as ‘psychedelic jazz fusion’ and ‘prog disco’. If both of those phrases gave you a bit of the ick, don’t worry – this track you’re about to hear is cool, cool shit.…

Maybe we should know who Fever Ray are, but we don’t. Judging by this new thing we’ve just listened to, we’re still not sure because it’s a remix. And what a banger of a remix it is! The track is called ‘Even It Out’ and it s a rejig by Frost Children, and it’s a…

You remember Steve Mason from the Beta Band right? He’s always up to something. The latest is getting Mancunian rapper OneDa to rework his ‘Moss Side Fish Fry’, and it’s a elastic bass synth gem, honestly. OneDa says: “I approached this track as I would do a spoken word piece, using my verses in a…

We’ve spoken quite a bit about the last Beatles recording and it’s finally here and available to listen to it. Very bittersweet experience in all honestly. It’s age appropriate too, so don’t be expecting any 808s or dirty wub wubs. A touching final chapter to the greatest band to ever do it.

For so many years, library music was only a thing that tapped people’s toes if they were absentmindedly watching TV, as it soundtracked incidental moments on shows and whatnot. However, nerds started valuing the complex pop-jazz moments, the ambient segues, and more. Soon enough, library music was having a renaissance. Matt Berry (who seems to…

We’re very sentimental and excited about the ‘Now And Then’ release that’s due from The Beatles. It’s all very bittersweet, given that it’s the ‘last recording’ they’ll do. A short film with snippets from the isolated vocal, strings, pop vox from the family and surviving members and… …stop reading this and just press play already.…

Want to get away for a holiday and need some impetus to get organised and booking something? Well, if you live in a major city, the following is the dates Liam Gallagher is playing and your local will be filled with lads with bad feathered hair cuts, wearing gazelles and waddling around with their feet…

What’s funny about MGMT is that they’ve managed to annoy a whole host of people and not really done anything to warrant it. Kid Cudi likes them enough to jump on stage with them while full of acid, so they’ve got that in their favour. Maybe they’ve got annoying fans? We genuinely don’t know. Anyway,…

Want a cool Halloween mix that swerves the usual stuff (not that there’s anything wrong with the usual stuff) and has a bit more fuzz and bite? Good news! Here’s a fun garagey, fuzzy, occasionally camp mix of creeptacular tunes for your Halloween party (or if you’re looking for a creepy journey home from work…

Is it Balearic? Is it slo-mo house? Who cares if it sounds this fun! Like half a pill dancing up your spin, Swedish duo The Embassy have a new record out that’s as nice as the sand between your toes. The track is called ‘Dream On’ and it is taken from a new LP called…

APRIL FOOL’S DAY
We’re not bothering with anything like here, don’t worry. Everything you read today is just a normal story. However, that said, now we’ve drawn attention to it you might think we’ve completely made up our imminent Keanu Reeves piece up, when we haven’t. He’s just that nice.

BLUE LIGHTS FROM JAYDA G NOT TO BE MISSED
She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

FRIPP & TOYAH HEAVILY FEATURING BREASTS, FOR THE CAUSE
It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…

PSYCHEDELIC TWANGS WITH IMMATERIAL POSSESSION
If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…
