WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Bob Dylan is pretty tight-lipped mostly, and when answering questions, prefers to be on the side of cryptic. It is fair to say that he’d rather let his music do the talking, which is probably why fans read so much into his songs. With that, for the first time in years, he’s opened his set…
-
It is fair to say that Wolf Alice’s new album is pretty keenly anticipated, and they’ve got a new song out which is only going to add to any excitement from their fans. In fact, we’d suggest that the latest one might be the pick of the crop. It’s called ‘White Horses’ and it’s a…

Disclosure are always a whole load of fun when they’re collaborating with guest vocalists, and now they’ve dropped a track with Anderson Paak, which makes a lot of sense and we’re surprised it hasn’t happened before. With that in mind, it seems like this one has been on the boiler for a while. The group…

You may know Jehnny Beth from Savages, but now, we’re dealing with a solo record which goes by the name of ‘High Resolution Sadness’, and it is absolutely brutal and needs to be played loud enough to leak out of your headphones on the bus. This is from Beth’s second solo album, ‘You Heartbreaker, You’, which is…
-
What do you do when you’ve amassed an adoring, fevered set of fans and you need to occasionally tell them off? It’s something we’ve seen with Chappell Roan, and so too, with Ethel Cain, who is an underground sensation, now gently bursting overground. Before you even get to the music, you’re aware that there’s been…
-
Is it Nu Balearica? Is it Nu Age music? Whatever it is, there’s been a spurt in creativity in good vibe music that doesn’t make the demands off anyone as a listener, but is spiritually nourishing and washes over you with that good time feeling. As young DJs and dancers have found a parallel lane…

There’s something very wholesome and pure about Saint Etienne. That’s not to say they’re weedy nerds or anything, but their love of pop is an admirable thing, so the mere mention of them makes you feel all gooey, and that’s to be celebrated. So with that, they’ve shared a new song called ‘Take Me To…

One of the most infectious, dancefloor exploding tracks of the ’90s was the irresistible and utterly immense ‘Jump N Shout’ by Basement Jaxx, headed up by the irrepressible Slarta John who made the song erupt with energy and joy. Sadly, Slarta John – real name Mark James – has passed away, as confirmed by Basement…

Not THE Automatic – this is just Automatic. This lot are from Los Angeles and are signed to Stones Throw. They have a new single out which we think you’ll like. The new song is taken from forthcoming album ‘Is It Now?’, which you’ll be able to hear in full on September 26th from the…

We’re kinda not sure what music is being made by Nourished by Time, and honestly, that’s a good thing in the year of our lord, 2025. It’s so easy to get tripped up by genres, and here, we’ve got a song that has an applaudable free spirit. It’s not pop, it’s not freestyle, it’s not…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

BLUE LIGHTS FROM JAYDA G NOT TO BE MISSED
She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

FRIPP & TOYAH HEAVILY FEATURING BREASTS, FOR THE CAUSE
It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…

PSYCHEDELIC TWANGS WITH IMMATERIAL POSSESSION
If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…

03 GREEDO BUSS ME A SCRIPT
03 Greedo has served 5 years in prison and is out on parole and, out of the gate, he’s not messing around. He’s got a new track out called ‘Buss Me A Script’ which features Maxo Kream and it is haaaaaaaarrrrrrrd. There’s a new LP in offing too (might be a mixtape, might not be…
