WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
There’s been a study undertaken that could show how humans first started getting into music as a species, and we were into it first. The study suggests that Madagascan lemurs used music for a variety of purposes, which could give insight in how humans evolved into creating music, but we prefer the early stuff. Co-author…

Look, we don’t quite know what’s happening but we’ll share the news all the same. On Brian Wilson’s Instagram page, it basically says that coming this Friday, is ‘Ding Dang’. We had a little search on Google for ‘Brian Wilson Ding Dang’, and all it came up with was a link to his website which sadly…

Allegra Krieger is new to us, so we won’t pretend we know loads about her and just crib notes from other websites like we do. All we know is that there’s a new single out called ‘Never Arriving’ and its a kind of country tinged indie rock that sounds pretty cool. There’s been releases before,…

There’s going to be a final album from hyper-pop trailblazer SOPHIE, three years on from their untimely death. It’ll be an eponymous affair, and there’s a new song called ‘Reason Why’ which features Kim Petras and BC Kingdom. The album will be released on September 27th, and a statement from SOPHIE’s family reads: “When we,…

There’s always a danger with Kehlani that her brand of R&B reads too much Tumblr. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but her seam of through-thought can occasionally focus a little heavily on who she’s making eyes at, identity and poor decision making in love and lust. It’s a common complaint of R&B at large,…

We love the Coco & Clair Clair LP (we reviewed it here) for its hyper It Girl meanness and weird party vibe. Well, great news is that they’re back with a new single called ‘Aggy’ and they’re being all aloof and constantly online, but this time, the trap-lite beats have been replaced with a soft…

One of the finest albums ever recorded is available after years of being hidden away in the shape of the effortlessly wonderful eponymous album from Peru’s, We All Together. Originally released in 1972, featuring some beautiful Wings covers and a load of killer original material, the LP is the greatest Beatle-inspired cuts ever recorded, with…

Euphoric melancholy is one of the true pillars of pop, giving listeners the chance to dance the pain out of their feet and let all the air leave their body while they joyfully singalong with something that might be upsetting. ABBA were the masters of it, and pretty much the whole of soul music. It’s…

The ’00s are pure back, so get out the Mcat and Breezers, because it’s time to ruin your fat laces in your trainers and wear too much eye-liner and dance to the new one where Jamie XX and Robyn have teamed up. And it’s a whole load of fun too, don’t you worry about that.…

Honey Gentry has featured on these pages before and we’re very into the baroque, creeped out pastoral Americana she’s producing. And so to her take on the Queens of the Stone Age song, ‘Go With The Flow’. Bands don’t normally veer too far from the source material (which is a shame), but on this, the…

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…

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing…

DORTHIA COTTRELL’S DARK HEAVY PSYCH
There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots…
