WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up.

Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault…

AUTECHRE REISSUES DUE
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…
