WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’ve covered The Linda Lindas a few times on these pages, and every time we do, it’s always the same feeling we get, that they’re noisy, catchy and fun records that sound like a super fun night out. And they’re at it again with a new song called ‘Burning Out’, which is all skuzzy guitars…

Tim Bernardes is one of the finest Brazilian musicians around right now, mixing MPB, ’60s psychedelia, ’70s power pop, Tropicalia and all the music you like, wrapped up in a gorgeous, intuitive songwriting style that has won him fans outside of his home country, the span of the globe. Well, great news is that he’s…

Look, M.I.A. has turned heel and it’s annoying if you want to listen to the kind of music she was so good at. Mercifully, there’s someone here who can take a similar spot, and that’s Alewya. A multidisciplined artist, model, musician, Alewya has been getting people excited for a little while now, but we only…

What do you get when you cross Paul McCartney, Thundercat, Kate Bush, Tchotchke, Weyes Blood, Eddie Chacon, Sylvie and other cool stuff? You get the new album from Buzzy Lee, that’s what. Buzzy Lee’s real name is Sasha Spielberg if you must know, and ‘Shoulder to Shoulder’ is one of those LPs that has you…

Paycheck is a pair made up of Alison Goldfarb and Jackson MacIntosh and related to TOPS who we really like, so prick your ears up right now! Their debut album is out this week (or is it now? Go find out) and to whet the appetite, there’s a skuzzy, synthy track to get stuck into!…

An autobiography from the legendary composer Ryuichi Sakamoto has been confirmed and it is called ‘Music Sets You Free: A Memoir’. You’ll be able to buy a copy on September 22nd, and it is bound to be brilliant. A statement from publishers HarperVia say the book will be “the complete autobiography from the legendary and…

Jeff Parker and his band have been making some of the best jazz on the planet at the moment. Parker, of course, is a member of the peerless Tortoise, so you know his extra curricular stuff is worth checking. We loved the last LP they releases – The Way Out Of Easy – so it’s…

Madonna’s maximalist moments in pop music should always be embraced, because if you can’t find some enjoyment from a megastar throwing everything and the kitchen sink at the wall, then you’re probably in need of a new hobby. She’s taking us back to the dancefloor with her new album – ‘Confessions II’ – and the…

Ibibio Sound Machine, quite frankly, deserve the Earth. Righteous, outrageously good fun, and in possession of an embarrassing amount of dancefloor bangers that hold them up against any of the legends you can think of. Melding Hi Life with ’80s New Wave, Disco, Minneapolis Funk, House and anything else you’ve got in the pocket that…

Sometimes, musicians make music that sounds like it came from the future – and sometimes that music is pretty bad, forcing things together for the sake of innovation. However, sometimes – just sometimes – it feels so natural and effortless, that it is hard not to get overly excited. And so to KÁRYYN who has a…

WHICH BAND DOES KEANU LOVE?
Keanu Reeves is everyone’s non-problematic fave and generally seems like a good dude. Great face too, if we’re still objectifying people in 2023. You can imagine he’s got a half decent and very sizeable record collection, right? His house is probably dead nice. And we’re only mentioning Wyld Stallyns now to say that we won’t…

APRIL FOOL’S DAY
We’re not bothering with anything like here, don’t worry. Everything you read today is just a normal story. However, that said, now we’ve drawn attention to it you might think we’ve completely made up our imminent Keanu Reeves piece up, when we haven’t. He’s just that nice.

BLUE LIGHTS FROM JAYDA G NOT TO BE MISSED
She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

FRIPP & TOYAH HEAVILY FEATURING BREASTS, FOR THE CAUSE
It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…
