When music lacks the usual verse-chorus-verse, it’s difficult to explain why you like it. Like a good techno album, you’re found waving your hands around and saying “I dunno – it just works and it’s all great!”, as you try and pinpoint various sections that made your brain fizz. Likewise, when faced with ambient music,…

The PinkPantheress really surprised us by how much we enjoyed it. It’s a potted history of UK dance music, shot through a bubblegum pop lens, and top to bottom, the whole thing is infectious as hell. Well, there’s a remix album of ‘Fancy That’ which is a star-studden affair. Better still is that you won’t…

Forgive the mildly clickbait headline, but there’s a chance you recognise the name Little Dragon and don’t know the members of it. Lead singer from the project, Yukimi, has got some solo bits out. Seeing as Little Dragon were pretty great, then this is good news for fans of them, right? This track – ‘All…

Matt Berry, real heads know, is a fabulous musician as well as a fine comedic actor. Killer psych, folk, and remakes of tricksy TV themes – he’s our kinda guy! Well, you need to see an advert he’s made for Telepathic Instruments with Jermaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords fame. What a dream pairing…

We already told you that the Super Furry Animals are back, and you knew before we’d even told you – it’s good news for anyone who is a fan of psychedelic pop, glam stompers and adventures rock, right? Well, with the 20th anniversary edition of Love Kraft coming out, there’s a song from those sessions…

Nardwuar might just be the nicest interviewer on the planet, with his deep dives and enthusiasm paired with his DIY aesthetic. He’s been at it for years and you wish him all the luck in the world as he scratches around record shops and basement shows, as well as interviewing some of music’s biggest names.…

Nightlife is changing in the UK, and not for the better. Everything being more expensive is hurting businesses and customers alike, resulting in fewer people wanting to go out, and ultimately, it’s our sense of community and literal togetherness is lost. Another legend is closing their doors as G-A-Y in Soho have said that it…

When you’re fully in the lore of standom, every utterance from your favourite artist is either an in-joke, or breadcrumbs to follow for some deeper meaning. And that’s where we’re at with the stratospherically successful Taylor Swift who, in terms of ticket sales and hit records, can basically do no wrong. However, what if you’re…

BONGZILLA. Just read that name back. It’s great isn’t it? Read that on a festival line-up, and you’re taking notice aren’t you? Handily, it perfectly captures their sound too – thick, heavy doom psychedelic rock. They’ve got a new song out which does exactly what you want to it to, called ‘Hippie Stick’, and they’ll…

Goat released a behemoth of an LP called ‘Oh Death’ much to everyone’s surprise, and now they’re surprising us all again with a new EP called ‘Seu Sangue’ (due out on April 14th, somewhat lessening the surprise when it actually drops). The EP will herald a tour of the UK (and other places) and it’s…

The Chemical Brothers – there’s no-one quite like them. Weird, heady drug music, but still a boatload of fun. Well, they’re back with a new thing. In fact, it’s the first new thing since 2021, which is nice. As ever, they’re back with a very heady drug video (that’s still a boatload of fun) and…

We’ve heard people raving about Lankum, and like all nosey parkers, we wanted to know what was going on to see if we would find a new band we liked, and at worst, not like them and generally be dismissive of other people’s music tastes and bemoan the state of it all. Good news! This…
