WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you’ve been reading our words for a while, you’ll know how much we love the music of Dora Morelenbaum. Her ‘Pique’ album is one of our favourite records, and is a modern Brazilian classic. Read our review here. Well, Dora has a new video out for the swooning, groovy ‘Não Vou Te Esquecer’, and

The release of Justin Bieber’s ‘SWAG’ album was, for most, a surprise. Not least because of the absence of promotional materials released in the build-up to it, but in part, it was remarkable that he’d even been working on anything. For those not terminally swirling around Bieber’s plughole for every morsel of information, he’d only

People who write about music, overthink music, read books and websites about music, devour music documentaries and go on Wikipedia deep-dives, are not your average music listener. Don’t read that as ‘better’, rather, atypical. Think about it – there’s people out there who saw the Oasis reunion, but were completely unaware that Liam Gallagher just
-
Rock n roll is a perilous business at the best of times, what with the circus life trying to get you on the drink, drugs and a variety of sexually transmitted diseases. Spare a thought then, for poor ol’ Suki Waterhouse. The singer, songwriter and actor took to social media this week, and informed her
-
Rochelle Jordan started off as a woozy LoFi(ish) R&B singer, but since pivoting toward a modern take on Chicago House, she’s absolutely took off like a rocket! Seductive, smart, fun, classy – pretty much all of her releases have been top-tier. With that, she’s announced a new LP called ‘Through The Wall’, which we’ll be
-
Okay, it’s not quite new Metronomy, but we had to hook you in somehow. What we have here is a super fun remix of a Metronomy track from 1-800 GIRLS, which sounds like it should start cropping up on the dancefloors around the place, all things being fair. This is a remix of ‘Salted Caramel
-
One of our favourite things is a notification on a new release from DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ – from swirling house, to robo-teen drama pop, to an almost Boards of Canada-esque way of creating music that feels both alien and familiar, DJSTTDJ is always worth tuning into. The reference points in the music are
-
Everyone’s an Oasis fan these days, now they’ve got back together and either reminded people with greying sides of the summers of their youth, or indeed, giving the young ‘ins a chance to see what the Gallagher brothers are like on stage. Of course, not literally everybody is an Oasis fan and – this writer
-
It’s been well over a decade since we last got to look forward to a new full release from Clipse, and here we are in 2025 with ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ – with the pair backed by Pharrell and a host of high quality features, for a release that barely needed any publicity push.
-
Spies, the Falklands war, Thatcher, Reagan, and a punk band splicing tapes to create a storm to live up to their anarcho legend. If you haven’t heard the story of how Crass caused huge trouble for right wing authoritarian during the Cold War, you need to get on this video right now. Press play.

REBECCA BLACK: FORGET THE MEMES – THE NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING
12 years ago on this very day, Rebecca Black released ‘Friday’ and became a meme. She implored us that we needed to get down on Friday, and over a decade later with the release of her first LP ‘Let Her Burn’, on a literal Friday, it’s very easy to get down, because in a week…

CORONATION TICKET BALLOT FOR THE SCABS AMONGST YOU
This summer, King Charles III will be getting fitted with a new hat and of course, us loyal servants will be allowed to stop averting our eyes for the day to look directly at a man who is still called Prince Charles really. Of course, like all public holiday things, the 24 hour news channels…

WELL THAT’S ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT MAMA
Matthew McConaughey is going to provide the voice for Elvis Presley in a new animated TV series, which explains the terrible joke we made in the headline. Don’t worry – there’ll be more terrible takes to come. Producers at Netflix announced that the Oscar-winning actor will voice to the lead character in the upcoming action-comedy…

NEW BC CAMPLIGHT
You may know of BC Camplight already, but if you don’t, there’s a lot to love with Brian “BC” Christinzio. Parts stadium sized rock, part Todd Rundgren, part something else entirely his own, there’s always good stuff to be found on a BC LP. Well, there’s new shit coming on an album called ‘The Last…
