WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Have you heard of Fievel Is Glauque because you saw them supporting Stereolab? Have you not heard of them, but are interested in a band that supported Stereolab all the same? Well, here’s a new pair of songs from the group called ‘I’m Scanning Things I Can’t See’/’Dark Dancing’ and it’s super good and we

Hans Zimmer has been made a co-owner of BBC Maida Vale Studios and, we can’t lie, we’re only writing about it because we want to say something else which is related. The BBC sold the historic venue which has been in operation since the ’30s, which has hosted The Beatles, Bowie, Dusty and you know
-
Clarence Avant has left us, and leaves a shadow longer than most. You may not have heard of him, but chances are, Clarence has had a profound effect on your record collection. Avant was a music exec and known as The Black Godfather and started off as a manager in NYC. Just for starters, Clarence

Neil Young’s post Buffalo Springfield career is a fine one, but it wasn’t until ‘Harvest’ happened on the world that he became a legend. In ’72, the album was everywhere and inescapable on the radio. One man wasn’t happy about it, and that man was Bob Dylan. On the LP, fans would find ‘Heart Of
-
We’ve not written about That Lizzo Story, because honestly, it all feels a bit like we’d be turning ourselves into a celebrity gossip site if we did. However, it’s a slow news day today. If you’ve missed it, effectively, go and look it up. Trigger warning though – it’s a pretty grim tale and involves

If you’re not aware of the Príncipe label, you’re in for a treat! There’s a brilliant compilation called DJs Di Guetto and it’s filled with energetic, hot kuduro tracks from the aforementioned. So what are we talking about exactly? Well, the compilation looks at kuduro which was originated in Angola in the late ’80s, but

Coach Party are very hotly tipped and all that jazz, and while the world is a mess, it seems like mostly, everything is going a bit more melodic after countless post-punk-lite groups. Not everyone is sunshine and lollipops though, as Coach Party have just unleashed a venomous new track that’ll clear the cobwebs out! It’s

Some albums get better if you leave them a while. Stop trying to be first. Stop trying to find the hot take. Be cool. Let it marinate.

Are you interested in the new one from Digga D? You should be, because it’s a great little track. It’s called ‘Facade’ and it’s one of the crispest tracks we’ve heard in ages. From UK Drill to relative international stardom, the 22 year old is on his fourth project already, and it’s called ‘Back To
-
We can never speak for the artist, so it’s always a bit strange likening their music to anyone else’s. However, we’re reasonably confident that saying the new one from Ballard is something of a love letter to Pub Rock a la Nick Lowe, in that it’s goodtime, honest Power Pop, that’s also not afraid to

RIC WILSON WITH THE KILLER SYNTH FUNK
As Chromeo and A-Trak feature on the song, we considered putting their names in the headline for more Google ranking clout, but decided against it foolishly. Still though, Ric Wilson and Chromeo and A-Trak all on one very, very, very fun new song that will make you wish it was Friday night. It’s retro enough…

WHO SPENDS THE MOST ON MUSIC – STREAMERS OR NOT?
The amount of money an artist receives for making music is a hot topic at the moment. Apart from a few at the top, it sincerely looks like a lot of mid-tier and smaller bands simply can’t afford to be musicians, professionally. There’s people playing large gigs who still have office jobs. Whether or not…

CRYPTIC KATE BUSH MIGHT MEAN NEW MUSIC
If you go on Kate Bush’s website, something’s changed. There, you’ll see a landing page for something called Fish People. Does this mean new music? Let’s not get too excited, but let’s hope, eh? So what do we know? Well, Fish People is a label set up by Kate in 2011. It has focused on…

REMA’S NEW ONE IS GREAT (GOD THEY’RE MAKING US FEEL OLD)
Rema is referred to as a runaway and the next obvious superstar of African music, and with the latter, that could very well be true if they aren’t already. Inspired by Wizkid, D’Banj and Burna Boy, it isn’t difficult to imagine Rema hitting the same heights with some ease. There’s a couple of new songs…
