WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Unless you’re a musician, you’re probably not that bothered about Spotify’s royalty rates – but maybe you should be. See, the convenience of Spotify is absolutely unparalleled, and most people now have an almost endless library of music in their pockets, so you can listen to huge catalogues of music on the commute. But what…

What a year Girl Ray are having! Their ‘Prestige’ album is almost guaranteed a high placing come the End Of Year polls in the music mags and broadsheets. To keep the momentum going, they’ve released a new single called ‘Hurts So Bad’. It was produced by Hot Chip and is their most electronic number yet.…

Most right thinking people want to hunt billionaires for sport because no one person needs that money and couldn’t have possibly earned it without exploiting the labour of others. There would have to be some exceptional circumstances for that to not be the case, right? Like, if someone found something in their attic that was…

We absolutely haven’t heard of Letters To Cleo before, but that’s no reason to not say their new song is really fun and that we like it. You don’t always need an angle to tap a toe, do you? We found out that they’ve been on the circuit for a while, which is our bad.…

We’re huge fans of Yuné Pinku here. Mixing the sounds of the familiar with future-house, she’s been making great music for a while now. The latest one is another sophisticated, slinky banger that is perfect to kickstart your weekend. It’s follows the excellent ‘BABYLON IX’ EP, and is called ‘Killing Be’. As ever with her…

A lot of new artists are influenced by ’80s indie, but sadly, too many of them are a bit Long Overcoats Stood Near Some Bins Black & White Photo Post Punkish Sourpusses. Not the case here with Hazel English. She’s released a song called ‘Heartbreaker’ and it’s a midtempo gem, with lighter than air synths…

Grandaddy are great, and with that, it’s great to say there’s a new album coming out and a new song to listen to. The LP is called ‘Blu Wav’ and you can hear it on February 16th. The brainchild of the mighty Jason Lytle, the new long player is apparently a mix of bluegrass and new…

It’s confirmed. The last Beatle music approaches and, as we thought, it’s ‘Now And Then’. You can see what we said about it here, if you want the back story. The track will be with us on 2nd November and the official blurb from the Beatles camp says: “Now And Then” is the last Beatles…

Kurt Vile. A new song? A tour? Go on then. Vile, y’see, has a new EP coming out called ‘Back To Moon Beach’ and the tour is in the States, and seeing as our analytics say that most of our readers are European, that’s not the good news – but new music! Hurray! Below, if…

DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ continues to melt our brains with music that’s somehow both nostalgic pop AND futuristic psychedelic house music, and we love it. A new video just dropped for the track ‘For Now And Forever’ which is taken from the Destiny album and follows a fairly consistent and very funny long trolling…

You don’t have to speak the language to love a style of music. Maybe you are fluent in French, but no matter, because the fact is that Algeria’s Raï music is some of the most joyous and brilliant stuff ever recorded. It is a form of Algerian folk that kicked off in the ’20s and…

SBTRKT ALBUM SOON
Remember how good ‘Pharaohs’ was by SBTRKT? Well, good news, they’re back soon and will have a new LP out called ‘The Rat Road’ on May 5th. In a note: “This album has been my most sonically ambitious record to create – following my own musical path – which isn’t based on others’ perceptions of…
