WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The Lemon Twigs have another single out, and they really are in the form of their lives at the moment. This new one, which you can listen to below is called ‘How Can I Love Her More?’ On this new track, they say: “With “How Can I Love Her More?” we tried to bridge the…

When governments act appallingly, we’re right to be furious with them. However, out of this anger often comes necessary and wild creativity. See, over in Chechnya, the powers that be have apparently banned music for a certain tempo. They have said that all music should “correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per…

Trent Reznor, of NiN, has things to say about streaming, stating that the whole thing has “mortally wounded” many artists while talking to magazine, GQ. “I think the terrible payout of streaming services has mortally wounded a whole tier of artists that make being an artist unsustainable,” he said. “And it’s great if you’re Drake,…

We don’t know Kebu, but we know we have seen something that made us beam with joy at the sheer existence of it. See, Kebu got his synths and analogue equipment out, learned how to play ‘The Chase’ by Giorgio Moroder top-to-bottom, and performed it live. That’s cool enough, but thankfully, someone filmed the whole…

The Pet Shop Boys aren’t just any ol’ pop group are they? Viciously funny and equally smart. They’re ageing like a fine wine, and they have a new track out which proves exactly that. They have an album out later in the year called ‘Nonetheless’ and the new song is taken from that. It’s inspired…

They’re a good pair Anderson Paak and Knxwledge, so it’s good to learn that they have a new LP coming out called ‘Why Lawd?’. It should be on the shelves on June 7 via the legendary Stones Throw, and there’s not a huge amount of information to go on, so obviously, keep an eye on…

We fizzed with excitement when we heard Fabiana Palladino’s ‘I Can’t Dream Anymore’, and now there’s a full length debut album which saw Stereogum saying “they don’t make pop music like this anymore”, and Petridis enthusing and giving it album of the week over at The Guardian. It’s clear that Palladino is doing things differently.…

Keith Haring is rightly having a renaissance these days, even if we’re a smidge worried that a few too many products have been licensed with his work. When he painted, Haring would listen to music and if you’ve ever wondered what he was listening to, wonder no more! The Keith Haring Foundation has compiled the…

Look, we don’t make the rules – but L’Imperatrice are one of the coolest bands on the planet and the fact that they’re French and make a brand of Saint Tropez disco makes them even cooler. So, when they’re dropping an album, you should absolutely prick your ears up. This will be their third LP…

Apologies if you thought this article was about the ace Habibi Funk comps that always tickle the pickle. It’s not, but don’t stop reading! This is a new group called Habibi and they’ve got new stuff out which is fun as shit. There’s a new track called ‘Do You Want Me Now’, and that’s taken…

JONI MITCHELL BIOPIC
Cameron Crowe – you know him from the brilliant but don’t think too hard about it or it ends up feeling a bit problematic Almost Famous – is apparently doing a movie about Joni Mitchell. Now, Joni is the realest of the real, so this feels long overdue, however, movies about musicians are often not…

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…
