WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Twitter is facing a massive lawsuit filed by a coalition of 17 music industry entities, and two things – it’s not necessarily in our nature to take the side of Big Music Business, and this may well be rotten news in terms of musicians’ ownership and copyright – we really aren’t sure. However, this is…

There’s a new tune from OSEES called ‘GOON’ and honestly, it’s like someone dropping an anvil on your head from the top of some flats. We mean that in a good way of course. And you might be like ‘wasn’t their a band called The Oh Sees as well?’ It’s the same crowd. See, the…

Bonnie Raitt is, without doubt, one of the realest to ever do it. With success coming relatively late into her career, what we’ve ended up with is an artist that obviously knows her worth, but is also still grateful and ultimately incredibly humble. In Manchester, Bonnie took to the stage with her incredibly capable band…

One of the greatest summer songs ever recorded is ‘Music Sounds Better With You’ by Stardust, which you’ll no doubt know was by French house legends Thomas Bangalter (of Daft Punk fame), Alan Braxe and vocalist Benjamin Diamond. Released in 1998, it’s still as infectious as ever and it’s not quite summer ’til you had…

We didn’t quite know how to word the headline but wanted to let you fans of Jim Noir and Soundcarriers know about a new LP that needs to be on your radar. The new album is from Co-Pilot who are comprised of Alan Roberts (Jim Noir) and Leonore Wheatley (The Soundcarriers, International Teachers of Pop) – both…

The marvellous Be With Records have a number of test pressings for sale, which will be a cool and fun thing to add to your record collection. They haven’t put a single dud out to date, so you know the music will be great too! They’re limited in number, so don’t mess around pondering it…

Charif Megarbane is Habibi Funk’s first contemporary signing, which is a thrill! There’ll be a new LP (which sounds ace) called ‘Marzipan’ released on 11th August 2023. You’ll know Habibi Funk’s incredible output with an insanely high hit-rate of compilations of Middle Eastern and North African music – seriously, there’s no duffers in the catalogue,…

This is totally on us really, but we assumed Devendra Banhart was still making acid-folk, but we’re basing that on information in our head that is well over a decade old. Anyway, if you’re not surprised, we were taken aback by his new single which is all synthy and fully produced (by Cate Le Bon,…

Do you like the Allah-Las? Great news for you is that they’ve announced a new album called ‘Zuma 85’ and there’s a tour afoot and two new songs for you to listen to. The first new song we’ll share is called ‘The Stuff’ which will be a familiar sound to fans, with twangy psych guitars…

The big news is that we’re going to have some new music from The Beatles this year. Will it be great and better than anything they’ve done before? Probably not, but this is still exciting stuff for Fab Four Dorks around the world. We’re excited. Paul McCartney says he’s used artificial intelligence to help create…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

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…
