WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Hey! Lets do Mogwai at karaoke tonight! Arf. Only kidding – they’ve got a new song for you to listen to and it is taken from a new album which is coming out in January. The LP is called ‘The Bad Fire’, and it’ll include ‘God Gets You Back’ which you may have heard earlier
-
One of the fun things about King Gizzard is that, every time they release something new, they’ve taken something of a left turn. They’re a totally restless group who have gone through prog, metal, psychedelic rock and whatever else has been on their internal record player. Well, this time around, they’ve got the orchestra out
-
This is new to us, but in 1970 ITV aired a show called ‘Songs From Two Brewers’ – a smoky club show that features Pentangle at the peak of their powers. It’s a run of six songs that’ll really put you in the room and this is essential viewing.

She may be from Baltimore, but Eyas (Jenna Balderson to her pals) has seemingly taken inspiration from UKG with her indie-folk music, which sounds like it’d suck, but thankfully, it doesn’t. There’s a new EP afoot called ‘Quiet-loud’ and you’ll be able to hear the whole thing in late November. If you like what you

You can’t trust Tyler, The Creator. That’s part of his charm, right? He says he won’t be releasing any new music this year, and then almost out of the blue, a new album comes out and all the GOLF WANG devotees get their multicoloured trousers in a bunch and show the kind of unswerving devotion
-
Want to hear a previously unreleased Throbbing Gristle track? Well, Mute are putting a new release out called ‘TG BERLIN’, which is a fancy boxset that charts unreleased work in Berlin, around a series of live events at the Volksbühne in 2005 and 2006. It’ll see the light of day on 6th December, and of course,

Aminé is one of the more melodic rappers on the scene and when he’s on form, he’s an absolute joy to listen to. There’s new music afoot too, and you can hear two songs from whatever project he’s got planned for everyone. These are his first two songs of the year, which would suggest a

WHSmith are going to start selling records again and obviously, we’re hoping that they bring back the cool bags they had in the ’70s and ’80s while they’re at it. This is the first time the retailer will be selling vinyl in their stores in decades. Exciting stuff, and proof that the world of LPs
-
We all love Spinal Tap – only losers can’t quote huge bits of the movie and singing along to the likes of ‘Stonehenge’ and ‘Gimme Some Money’. Well, if you want the guys stood on your shelf full of fancy things, you’re going to love these new figurines. These figures from Super7 and feature David

While Kylie might be the UK’s Queen of Disco by repatriation, Sophie Ellis-Bextor is definitely in the conversation for someone who has served our dancefloors very well indeed. And she’s back with a new single which is, of course, aimed squarely at shaking your behinds along with. After the resurgence thanks to ‘Murder On The

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…

GOD BLESS YOU, BURT BACHARACH
There’s no question that Burt Bacharach is one of the greatest people who ever lived. His way with a song is rarely matched and, sadly, he’s passed away at the grand old age of 94. With Hal David, all by himself, and with others, Bacharach has brought us a dizzying amount of classics. ‘Walk On…

MARLENE RIBEIRO WITH NEW KILLER PSYCH
A lot of new psychedelic music falls into the same ol’ boring traps of drone music, dressed in skinny black jeans, and citing the same 4 or 5 bands as influence, when in fact, psychedelia is a much broader church than that. Which is why we’re thrilled about the newest LP from Marlene Ribeiro. On…

CLUSTER ZUCKERZEIT COMES AGAIN
Like noodly synth stuff from Germany? Course you do! Well, if you’re not already all over ‘Zuckerzeit’ by Cluster, you’re in luck! That means sugar time, by the way. It was the third LP from the cosmic German outfit, originally released in ’74, and an off-shoot of the also wonderful Harmonia group. And Neu! Basically,…
