WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Whether you think of her music as experimental electronica, or future R&B, we can all agree that Kelela is fantastic. And she’s back with a new single called ‘Contact’. She’ll be releasing a new LP called ‘RAVEN’ which is bound to be fantastic on Feb 10th. New album ‘RAVEN’ is out on February 10th. And…

Hey. Think your record collection is proof of you frittering your money away when you could have put a deposit down on a house? Well, watch this video. Your record collection is absolutely small fry compared to this guy from Hong Kong. A short video, so just watch it.

Pink Floyd are going to be doing a whole load of things for the anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon. It’ll be 50 and there’s going to be deluxe boxsets and all that stuff, which honestly, you can go and find out about yourself because we’re only mentioning this because the anniversary happens to…

Bona fide legend and founding member of two of America’s greatest ever groups, David Crosby, has passed away aged a remarkable 81. Founding member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, Croz has left a musical footprint that’ll take some filling. His wife released a statement to Variety: “It is with great sadness after a…

Reissues are great aren’t they? Sometimes original pressings are hard to get hold of. Sometimes they’re prohibitively expensive. Sometimes the original pressing sounds like dogshit. Sometimes the vinyl is flimsy. Sometimes you’ve worn your copy out and would like a fresh one for the turntable. So with that, Rhino are reissuing ‘Burgers’, the 1972 LP…

Do you remember Boygenius? Basically, it was a supergroup of Phoebe Bridgers (now very famous), Lucy Dacus (quite famous) and Julien Baker (also quite famous) and they released an EP, before all three kinda exploded. Well, they’re getting the band back together and there’s new music and some live shows as well. Awkwardly, the album…

Suzi Quatro is going to play the hits as part of a run of shows celebrating the 50th anniversary of her first number one and gigantic banger, ‘Can The Can’. The Detroit legend said: “I am now in my 59th year in this business! Last year I played the Royal Albert Hall and was high…

Yaeji is great. In a way, that’s about a much as you need to know, but we’ll humour you and write a little more. Mixing bonkers day-glo electronics, house and hip-hop with cutesy, intimate vocals, Yaeji is prolific and fun! The ‘What We Drew’ mixtape released in 2020 was a firm favourite here, and now,…

It isn’t easy remembering long band names. Sometimes your brain switches off while you’re saying them out loud, and words just start to fall out. So with that, we look at Noel Gallagher’s band – the High Flying Birds. Are they even called that? We’d check but we’re lazy. Pretty sure they’re called that. They’ve…

Ye, the artist formerly known as but ostensibly still known as Kanye West, has gone missing. Why? Well, everything. His fall from grace has been well documented, making for a disappointing time for fans of his music and a boring SEE I TOLD YOU from people who are a bit racist when a rapper acts…

PINS’ FAITH GOES FAUX FAUX
If you like PINS, then Faith Vern from the group has a new project called The Faux Faux, and cuts a very different figure from the garage punk of her other band. A little more kitchen sink and ’60s girl-group (but still a good amount of Northern Grit, you’ll be thrilled to know) and a…

LP GIOBBI NEW ONE IS REALLY COOL
Fans of mildly psychedelic pop music should tune-in now, because LP Giobbi has a new track out that’s great and you’ll like it. It comes from a new album called ‘Light Places’ and will be out in May. As none of us are very good at waiting for things, you can hear the new track…

REBECCA BLACK: FORGET THE MEMES – THE NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING
12 years ago on this very day, Rebecca Black released ‘Friday’ and became a meme. She implored us that we needed to get down on Friday, and over a decade later with the release of her first LP ‘Let Her Burn’, on a literal Friday, it’s very easy to get down, because in a week…

CORONATION TICKET BALLOT FOR THE SCABS AMONGST YOU
This summer, King Charles III will be getting fitted with a new hat and of course, us loyal servants will be allowed to stop averting our eyes for the day to look directly at a man who is still called Prince Charles really. Of course, like all public holiday things, the 24 hour news channels…
