WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Chloe Slater has been causing quite a few waves with her brand of alt-pop, noisy business. And there’s a new single to listen to called ‘UGLY’, which hits out at beauty standards, consumerism and all that bad stuff foisted upon Chloe and women in general. Looks like Gen Z have had it up to here with…

We’re always in the market for music that reminds us of soft psych, like Millennium and The Free Design, and mix it with gorgeous psychedelic folk, and you’re really speaking our language. And so, to Biita Houdei who has a beautiful, joyful new song out called ‘Life Inside The Hourglass’, which is instantly charming and…

Do you like PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, Snail Mail, St Vincent and the Pixies and the like? Well, if you don’t have Blondshell on your radar, you should, because we’re picking up strong classic rock, grunge, NYC loft parties and boots on the ground indie in her music. There’s a new single called ‘Heart Has…
-
We don’t know too much about Ibeyi, other than they’re dubbed as ‘French-Cuban’, which is a dynamite pair of musical cultures to collide into each other, if you ask us. And on the strength of the song we just heard, well worth keeping an eye on! They have a new LP coming out called ‘Offering’…

When Jorja Smith is in the mood, there’s few people who can make dancefloor ready music quite like her. She is truly the best of all things British music, and with her new single, she’s gone and done it again. She is, apparently, entering a ‘new chapter’, which we’ll no doubt hear more about in…
-
Are you kidding? That’s too much music for one sitting. That’s too many songs at the same time to wade through. That’s like, a million tracks or something. There’s other music that needs listening to as well, right? So, with that, let us simply guess what’s contained within these THREE albums all released at exactly…

Sometimes, we give you the tip-off as we stumble into it, rather than hoarding it while we form an opinion – it is sometimes better to just yell ‘Hey! Check this out! This might be cool and we should all find out together!’ With that, we just listened to ‘Cola’ by Namasenda who is apparently…
-
Anyone related to El Michels Affair is worth taking note of, and member and studio whizz Marco Benevento has been releasing some seriously good pop (of an alternative variety – don’t be expecting Dua Lipa or anything like that) under his own steam. There’s a new album due called ‘Glera’ which is out in July,…
-
You know Mike D aka Michael Diamond aka maybe the goofiest guy in the Beastie Boys – well, he’s got a new single out, and seeing as the Beasties are cool guys, we’re sharing it here because good for him! The single is called ‘Switch Up’ and, importantly (and somewhat remarkably) it is the first…

Now that the Super Furry Animals are back together and currently on the road, showing everyone how they’re the best psychedelic group of a generation – how did it all start? Well, the various members of SFA were all in different groups around Wales, and thankfully, Walian TV station S4C made a little documentary about…

EUROVISION: NOW WITH ADDED RITA ORA & SOMETHING GENUINELY NICE
This is some Eurovision news, but only the semi-final, so don’t get too worked up. You read Rita Ora in the headline and either got excited or irritated. Calm your boots, there’s plenty of time for pithiness yet. Besides, there’s something quite fun to talk about, but we’ll get to that. Rita Ora, again making…

MARILYN MCCOO SINGS (AND A DIVERSION ABOUT THE DEATH OF NATALIE WOOD)
Most famous for being a lead in the 5th Dimension, Marilyn McCoo is obviously a wonderful, wonderful singer. If you’ve ever listened to the harmony group, you’ll already know what a gorgeous singing voice she has. She’s been party to a number of fabulous hits and when she went solo, not as successful as in…

THE FOLK FUNK OF JOHN CAMERON
John Cameron is a British music legend and you’ll definitely know his work knowingly or otherwise. If you’re wondering who he is, then if you’ve watched ‘Kes’, that’s him doing the soundtrack (and what a perfect soundtrack it is). If you’ve listened to Donovan, then he pretty much did the arrangements on all of Donovan’s…

DOJA CAT, BLUE TICKS, TWITTER RANTING
This is 100% going to be an article that rants about the state of Twitter with the incredibly thin premise of being music related, because Doja Cat has said something funny about it. If you’re desperate for a Doja Cat music angle take – yes, she’s been a bit problematic and dim, and her next…
