WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
It must be just as annoying as it is a compliment to be ‘hotly tipped’ in the world of pop – but hotly tipped Emei is, and with their new track ‘Scatterbrain’, it’s very obvious why. In terms of pop music, this errs on the side of alt.pop, which is always fun – it effectively…

Hey hey! It’s the Twiglets! The Lemon Twigs are back, and there’s going to be a new album and a tour – and for UK fans, the tour is extra special for reasons we’ll go into in a minute. The new LP will be called ‘Everything Harmony’ and there’s a new track from it called…

You could just skip all these words and press play on the video below, but you might want to find out what we’ve found out too. The basic deal here though, is this is a bit of a departure for Deerhoof and the song is really great. It’s called ‘Wedding, March, Flower’ and it starts…

You can find all manner of amazing and strange things when you keep watching lousy old documentaries. We’ll get onto that shortly though, because first, have you ever found yourself dancing along to ‘Why Did You Do It?’ by Stretch? It’s a favourite of the DJs, or you may have it on one of your…

De La Soul are a group that means so much to so many people. There’s not many better debut albums than ‘3 Feet High And Rising’, loved just as much by hip hop die-hards as people who loved pop, rock, dance music, soul music and the rest. At the turn of the ’90s, after the…

This reeks of an advertorial, but it isn’t – who would sponsor this swill? It is about a brand partnership, but it’s of note to us because it’s kinda funny… and we’ll tell you why. Baileys – the booze cream drink – are teaming up with the Eurovision Song Contest and they say that they’re…

We’re in 2023 and what’s worse – people still excusing M*rrissey’s behaviour or people like us still falling for it and writing about it? Anyway, here we are, falling for it again and thinking ‘is it boring getting a few licks in for the craic?’ Probably. People who don’t like him are sick of hearing…

Lists are fun, but we know they’re arbitrary. We all know that, but we still get worked up about them. That’s why publications do them. Hundreds of articles can sail by with barely a whisper of a reply, but as soon as you nail your colours to the mast, everyone’s at your throat and wanting…

If you like PINS, then Faith Vern from the group has a new project called The Faux Faux, and cuts a very different figure from the garage punk of her other band. A little more kitchen sink and ’60s girl-group (but still a good amount of Northern Grit, you’ll be thrilled to know) and a…

Fans of mildly psychedelic pop music should tune-in now, because LP Giobbi has a new track out that’s great and you’ll like it. It comes from a new album called ‘Light Places’ and will be out in May. As none of us are very good at waiting for things, you can hear the new track…

SOME OF YOU HAVE TERRIBLE TASTE IN MUSIC
And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

NEON LOVELINESS FROM MEGA BOG
Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

LEAVING COMMENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS WITHOUT READING THE ARTICLE
Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

ELECTRO BEER! POP AND LOCK-IN!
Fans of drinking pints and classic Electro compilations – this is a niche but perfect article for you! For the 40th anniversary of the legendary comps, there’s some special beer being brewed, and boy, the whole thing is handsome and great. The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing…
