WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’ve featured Dora Morelenbaum on these pages before so we’re excited to share that she has her debut LP coming out soon! With a mix of bossa, samba and psych, Dora’s music has showcased her to be one of the most exciting new Brazilian artists in the scene. The new album is called ‘Pique’ and…

Outside of Japan and Korea, everything is a little bit Solo Artist, so it’s lovely to see the flame of girl groups still being carried by FLO who have been doing good bits for a while now with their brand of R&B infused pop music. They recently shared their new track ‘Check’ which they have…

We appreciate that some people like it when rock and rap mix. There’s no accounting for taste and all that, but the nadir of the late ’90s and early ’00s when Woodstock went from a peace and love festival and turned into an awful frat house party filled with rap-rock groups shows just how dismal…
-
Britney Spears has, shall we say, had a very full life. It hasn’t all been peaches and cream, which means news that her life will be getting the biopic treatment is tentatively good news. We say it tentatively because not all biopics are good, but we are 100% rooting for this one because we think…

It all felt somewhat inevitable that young people would look at the streaming model and wonder why they didn’t have anything to show for their money. Obviously, the convenience of having most of the world’s music in your pocket is a miracle of a thing, but when you look around your room or your house…

Look, the rap musical Hamilton was awful. You don’t need to point out how successful it has been, how Lin Manuel Miranda is probably a nice guy, or even how much you liked it – it stunk. One dimensional rapping over old-head beats performed by a cast portraying a bunch of racist white dudes who…

We were reading about tg.blk over at another site and liked what we heard. Instead of hoarding this information to ourselves, we thought we would share it here, because that’s what good people do. Seriously – stop hoarding music to yourself – nobody wins when you do that. tg.blk have a new six track EP…

Doechii has called herself a number of things over the years – the one we like best is “the trap Grace Jones” – and if that’s piqued your interest, shall we get onto the lovely business of a new record to listen to? She’s got a new one out called ‘Nissan Altima’, which to the…

It is kinda funny that Charli XCX announced BRAT SUMMER when Confidence Man have been acting up for ages now, sneering and partying like the world might end tomorrow. With that, they’ve got a new song out called ‘SO WHAT’ which is the usual mixture of pouting and hedonism which is difficult to pull off…
-
After a well advised name-change, The Blessed Madonna has a new track out and it sounds like a weekend banger to us. It is called ‘Godspeed’ and features DJ E-Clyps. Very nice. The Blessed Madonna will be releasing her first full length LP and that’ll drop in October so we’ve a while to wait yet.…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

TEKE:TEKE WITH MORE JAPANESE PSYCHROCK
They’re a Japanese psychedelic band and based in Montreal and they’re called TEKE:TEKE and if that isn’t one of the most flatly factual openings to an article, we don’t know what is. Anyway, not to say we aren’t excited by this new song by them called ‘Garakuta’ – a fried, fuzz wig-out and is delightfully…

KARA JACKSON: MORRICONE MEETS SINGER SONGWRITER GREATNESS
Kara Jackson has been doing cool things and it’s hard to pin down exactly what that is in a catchy headline. She’s got a cinematic way with words and on a new track, a killer backdrop of Morricone/Ry Cooder dusty twang. It’s dead good. The new track (we’ll get to that in a minute) will feature…

ALL BANDS IN LEAGUE WITH THE DEVIL SAYS REM MAN
Listen, we shouldn’t give Alex Jones and people like him the time of day. However, sometimes, it’s really funny to talk about them, so we will. And REM’s Mike Mills (who, incidentally, sang REM’s best song ‘Near Wild Heaven’) is on one. Alex Jones has been in a lot of legal bother recently with Info…

DRAKE, REMARKABLY, SHOWS REMORSE FOR SOMETHING
Drake – possibly pouting somewhere because when is he not slightly pursing his lips – is showing a little remorse for something. Very unlike him that. And ting. So what’s up with him now? Well, he’s said that he regrets mentioning the names of his exes in his music. Appearing on the premiere episode of…
