A little while ago, there was a spate of records and acts that were kinda miserable, but anthemic with it. It wasn’t exactly Grunge 2.0, but emotional lyrics and crunchy guitars were definitely back. One of the better artists from this period was Soccer Mommy, who as it happens, is back with a new song!…

Vince Guaraldi’s work with the soundtrack on the Peanuts cartoons is rightly the stuff of legend. Achingly cool and whistleable jazz, bopping away under the utterly charming and razor sharp voice work from the Shultz created characters, which obviously include Snoopy and the mighty Charlie Brown. Re-discovered in the vaults is the somewhat timely ‘You’re…

A lovely little Detroit one-two here from Babyface Ray, featuring Veeze. Babyface has a new album this week called ‘The Kid That Did’ which we’re looking forward to hearing. In advance, you can listen to ‘Wavy Navy University’, which is a psychedelic take on trap-hop. Big Sean, Pusha T and G Herbo count themselves as…

MUNA are great, have had a number of hot songs, and with that, have seen their popularity rightly grow. The group’s identity have seen them filling a hole in pop culture which has seen a pocket of fans feeling incredibly seen by them, to use the common parlance of the youth.

February 24th is the date to put in your phone calendars if you’re a fan of avant garde, smart as a whip electronica. That’s because two killer Autechre LPs are getting rebooted on vinyl, so you can load up your deck with the good stuff. There’ll be reissues of ‘Confield’ and ‘Draft 7.30’. Both LPs…

It must be just as annoying as it is a compliment to be ‘hotly tipped’ in the world of pop – but hotly tipped Emei is, and with their new track ‘Scatterbrain’, it’s very obvious why. In terms of pop music, this errs on the side of alt.pop, which is always fun – it effectively…

Hey hey! It’s the Twiglets! The Lemon Twigs are back, and there’s going to be a new album and a tour – and for UK fans, the tour is extra special for reasons we’ll go into in a minute. The new LP will be called ‘Everything Harmony’ and there’s a new track from it called…
