WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
No music genre ever really goes away, but when there’s a blossoming of interest, it’s always worth keeping an eye on those artists within who are keeping things moving and interesting. And so, to Logic1000 who is making some of the coolest house music on the planet right now – experimental in places, but accessible
-
There’s a new track from Brian Eno, who you’ll know as That Guy From Roxy Music or Ambient Man. It’s called ‘All I Remember’ and you might not need more information than this, so head to the bottom of the page to press play. For those that like reading, this track is about some of
-
There’s something of a drum ‘n’ bass resurgence afoot, going back to it’s gritty realism after a lot of… well… Chase & Status stadiumstep. With that, Nia Archives who is waiting to drop their full length debut album next month (‘Silence Is Loud’, for the record) has released a single which reminds us of classic
-
There’s so many things to love about Kacey Musgraves. She was one of the few who made country that felt genuinely modern and progressive, in a sea of pretty chewy stadium country, and with her peers, she mined a more reflective, cosmic, liberal country without painting her views in such gaudy, broad strokes, that it
-
Bob James is cool. We all know that. When the GZA sampled ‘Nautilus’ for Ghostface’s ‘Daytona 500′, he knew Bob James was cool. Of course, Bob James’ ‘Angela’ is one of the coolest TV theme tunes of all time, as anyone who watched Taxi will testify. So, with that, we stumbled across a super cool
-
We can’t know everything, so we haven’t previously heard of Fabiana Palladino. We’re going to assume there’s a relation to bass legend Pino Palladino here, but seeing as Pino is a cool guy, we’re not going to go down the nepo route. We get to be hypocritical about these things when we like what we’re

Munster Records don’t half put out some gems, and we’re alerting you to one absolute belter from their catalogue! It’s called ‘Sabroso Go Go’ and, as a whole group, kinda defies pigeonholing, but it’s all super fun and unique! Music from Peru – especially the MAG label – is always worth your time. The label
-
L’Impératrice are brilliant and pretty much everything they do is that brand of irresistible, smoother than silk, French disco pop. It brings us great joy to say that the new song they’ve quietly put out is exactly that. Now, there’s not a proper video for it yet – only a lyric video – but it
-
Recife is the hidden gem in Brazil’s musical heritage. While Rio and Salvador get all the critical praise, Pernambuco has a wealth of super interesting music, with shape-shifting acid folk, gonzo rock, and now we’re looking toward Amaro Freitas who manages to combine that rural and rugged sound with sophisticated metropolitan goodness to make for
-
In more ‘what did you think was gonna happen?’ news, the fallout over SXSW and their ties to the US Army continues and, of course, with SXSW being held in Texas, the Texans are of course acting up. If you stick your head out of the window and keen your ear, you may be able

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…
