WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
ShyGirl is releasing a remix EP which has some great remixers on it, and that is always good for the soul! It’s called Club Shy EP and features one of our favourites Logic1000 (who released one of our favourite albums of 2024), as well as VTSS, X-Coast, and Fedde Le Grand, and others. You’ll be

Shamefully, we forgot to write about Remi Wolf’s brilliant single ‘Cinderella’ and we’ve been hoarding it to ourselves since it got released, bumping along to its New Wave-ish version of modern pop. It’s infectious stuff and Remi is an infectious individual who, with all things being fair in the world, could be the pop star
-
It’s been a funny couple of years for Chance the Rapper and while his last outing was not our favourite work from him, the backlash he received seemed somewhat disproportionate. Maybe everyone set their expectations far too high after the wildly credible ‘Acid Rap’ dropped, and ‘Coloring Book’ went wildly successful. A couple of weeks
-
The situation in Gaza has bled into the world of music, with some inevitability. Fresh off the back of ringing boos and counter-protests at the Eurovision Song Contest, now we see over 100 acts pulling out of the Great Escape festival. The show was to start today in Brighton, showing off up-and-coming artists. However, many

Not everything has to be informative or in-depth journalism. Sometimes, you can just notice something and simply pass it on – which is exactly what we’re doing here. Ever noticed that the intro section of Hot Chocolate’s ‘You Win Again’ sounds like a brilliant intro to a Super Furry Animals track? We’d like to hear
-
Childish Gambino is everyone’s favourite renaissance man, so it won’t surprise you that he’s back with new music and it’s predictably great. This time, ‘The Violence’ starts off as something that made us say “is this balearic?!” before making way into something a little more psychedelic soul, or maybe Bill Withers-y. Either way, all the

Real heads know that Swamp Dogg is one of the most underrated to ever do it, and has been described in the past as “one of the great cult figures of 20th century American music.” Mixing R&B, country, funk and anything else he fancies, Swamp Dogg has also given us some of the most brilliant
-
A lot of ’80s influenced rock music is pretty boring and worthy and shouty. Not the case with Finom’s new one called ‘Cyclops’. Remembering that hooks and choruses aren’t anything to be afraid of, the band formerly known as Ohmme have shared a new track from the upcoming LP ‘Not God’ with a cool video
-
Always good for a quote, decent at owning to the times he’s fucked up and contributed to nonsense and, importantly behind a load of great records, Steve Albini has exited stage left. It doesn’t matter how he died and you probably already know that he’s manned the desk for the likes of Nirvana, PJ Harvey,
-
Documentaries about bands are great, even when they’re kinda crappy. We’ve no reason to think that this new one will be crappy, we’re just saying. Anyway, Blur have announced a new film called ‘Blur: To The End’ which looks at the recording of the (surprisingly good ‘The Ballad of Darren’ LP which we reviewed and

WATCH THE BEST VIDEO OF 2025
Do you like dancing? Do you like pure, joyful things? Do you like a familiar sample, given a fresh twist? You’re going to love this new track from Bakar. Do not hesitate on pressing play on this.

REVIEW / MGK / LOST AMERICANA
What is MGK, or Machine Gun Kelly, if you prefer. To most, he’s that tattooed guy in the gossip columns who says things like he’s ‘part alien’, and seemed to be in a relationship with Megan Fox that screamed ‘we saw you across the room, liked your vibe, and would you like to come back…

LENNON POLITICAL BOXSET
When people acting in bad faith start complaining about pop going woke, it’s funny to think about how political pop used to be and just how much politicians hated people who spoke out about them. John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a literal FBI file on them and Elvis snitched to Nixon about the pair,…

KAYTRANADA GOES BOOGIE
Kaytranada is great – everyone knows that. So it is great news that there’s new music to sink our teeth into, right? Well, there’s going to be a new LP called ‘Aint No Damn Way!’ on Friday! That’s tomorrow! Surprise! To whet the appetite, here’s the boogie neon gem ‘Space Invader’ to listen to. A…
