WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Matt Berry is a renaissance man and unswervingly cool. With the most charmed of lives, he acts wonderfully, but also has fashioned himself a corner where he gets to be a loved psychedelic record collector swine. He’s handsome too. What a guy! Well, he’s going to release a new LP called ‘Simplicity’ on November 17th,

All the hipster girls fancy him, and all the boys wish they were mates with him – Bill Ryder Jones has carved a great niche for himself in recent years and with his new single – ‘This Can’t Go On’ – he might be about to release some career-best music. Here’s hoping eh? There’s also

Smoke Fairies have been great for ages now, mixing road-movie twang with pastoral folk – and they’re back, which is great news for everyone concerned, and there’ll be a new LP called ‘Carried In Sound’ in November. There’s going to be gigs too, to accompany an album that’s promised to be a bit darker than previous
-
Post 9/11, country music has gone into something of a freefall, which is why people love The Chick so fucking much. Of course, it’s not a completely dead scene, but there’s something incredibly ugly about the flag-shagging, say it to my face, MAGA-courting stuff that Nashville has been churning out. Some of the bigger names

Have you heard the acid latest from Das Koolies? If you didn’t know, the Super Furries minus Gruff are making some ace music under this new guise and it’s more synth forward and of course, it’s super fun Welsh psychedelic business as usual! The new track is called ‘Katal’ and comes with Gabe Gurnsey remixes,
-
Weyes Blood is great and, long shot prediction – it’s only a matter of time before some hip director casts her in an indie film, right? Anyway, she’s returned with a new video for the magic ‘Twin Flame’ which you’ll know from her last album, which is brilliant. It’s another ’70s horror affair and it’s

If you’ve heard Margo Guryan’s music, then you’re probably already completely head-over-heels with it. Well, if you’ve been eyeing up some vinyl, the fabulous kids over at Numero Uno who can seemingly do no wrong, have something you’ll like! There’s going to be a series of Margo’s music, and the first is a really lovely

You may not have heard of Henry Diltz, but chances are, you’ve seen some of his photos. Diltz was there man, shooting some of the greatest to ever do it, focusing on the assorted crew that hung with Crosby Stills Nash & Young. He’s got a gorgeous new book of photos out called CSN&Y: Love
-
The crew over at Dream Chimney always share amazing music (you can follow them on social media for regular updates on cool shit) and they’ve got a killer mix for the tail-end of summer from Aura Safari. Need to read some words before hitting play? Well, if you’re into Nu-Age, Balearic and Italo bits, this

Adam Scott plays Normal Wry Guy better than most, so it’s kinda comforting to know that, in real life, he’s a Grade A Dadrock Guy. Along with Scott Aukerman have a pod which has been through a few names, talking about some serious double denim jams. They talked about U2’s back catalogue with a podcast

WE COMPLETELY MISREAD THE NEWS
We get confused very often. It’s not cute, but it is a reality. We were reading the music news for the day, wondering what we could steal and repurpose as our own like all quality publications do, and well, it got a bit weird for a second. See, we idly read something about Megadeth –…

NEW KALI UCHIS
In another life, we interviewed Kali Uchis before she was very famous, and honestly, she was incredibly pleasant and was especially mean about the girls from her school who liked Chris Brown. She was good value and then went off with her manager to Nando’s, where we worried that she might get a bad idea…

MUSICIANS THAT ARE SENDING PEOPLE TO SLEEP ZZZZZZ
We’re not sure it’s great news for a musician to be told that your work is sending people to sleep. Honestly, you’d rather here it’s caused raging impotence wouldn’t you? Unless you’re the Penguin Cafe Orchestra or something. Either way, this is the news that the likes of Billlie Eilish, BTS, and Khalid have woken…

SCIENCE, NOT YET GASLIT BY A MUSICIAN, SAYS BEING A MUSICIAN MAKES YOU MORE ATTRACTIVE
Science has vaguely been doing its thing again, crunching some numbers and then spewing out some kind of finding. These findings we’re talking about here are by no means definitive, but we’ll talk about them anyway, because it’s funny to so. Apparently, according to boffins, being a musician makes you more attractive to possible suitors.…
