WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
It’s a bit meta, but it’s a great band name. Mediocre are releasing their debut EP ‘To Know You’re Screwed’ in April, and their new single ‘Pop Song Baby’ is a whole load of fun and we like stuffing it into our ears. They say: “We wanted to write a song that our teenage selves…

DJ Koze and Roisin Murphy have worked together before, and they’re at it again, which is great news for feet and ears everywhere. The new one is called ‘CooCool’ and it’s Murphy’s first single released on Ninja Tune. You can skip all the words if you like and just head to the video below. It’s…

His name has been hot shit for a minute and his stock is rising quickly – Texas son Mike Dimes is not letting up and new track ‘Heavy Metal’ goes hard! This will sound good in the club or the car – we’re into it. In ’22, Dimes’ ‘In Dimes We Trust’ LP was very…

You don’t have to speak the language to love a style of music. Maybe you are fluent in French, but no matter, because the fact is that Algeria’s Raï music is some of the most joyous and brilliant stuff ever recorded. It is a form of Algerian folk that kicked off in the ’20s and…

Remember how good ‘Pharaohs’ was by SBTRKT? Well, good news, they’re back soon and will have a new LP out called ‘The Rat Road’ on May 5th. In a note: “This album has been my most sonically ambitious record to create – following my own musical path – which isn’t based on others’ perceptions of…

The supergroup made up of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker are pretty famous these days. Famous enough that we really don’t need to tell you anything about them. Click below and have a listen to their new song called ‘Not Strong Enough’.

As people get older, many just give up. They’re just not as curious about music as they once where. They fall back into familiar albums and even with the advent of Spotify and music never being so simple to explore, they just bed down into the LPs of their youth like elderly rodents in hay.…

Everyone ought to know by now that Bob Stanley is one of the finest custodians of popular music, being a member of the mighty St Etienne, but also, writer of countless wonderful words about it and putting out so many dynamite compilations – he really has become a national treasure for music geeks, and we’re…

TRYING TO GET SOME INTERNET TRAFFIC BY ANNOUNCING BEYONCE’S TOUR
Let’s face it – we don’t need to write about the imminent Beyonce tour. We don’t need to mention it at all, because obviously, the Beyhive have alerts set up and publications bigger than this one, with their CEO teams and algorithm jammers, will write about it more prominently. So we’ll be honest and just…

KING OF THE HILL RETURNS
The best cartoon sitcom of all time, King of the Hill, is coming back. Now, you may have thought ‘hang on – isn’t The Simpson’s the greatest?‘ but we said ‘best‘, so suck it up. It’s official and everything that Hank Hill & Co will be back on our screens, and it will be getting…

ROSE CITY BAND BRING NEW COSMIC COUNTRY
Like your country music to have at least tried acid? Well, you’re in luck, as primo psychedelic guitarist Ripley Johnson (of Wooden Shjips and Moon Duo) has a project you might like called Rose City Band. There’s a new LP due called ‘Garden Party’ (the fourth by the band in as many years) and is…

LAEL NEALE IS THE RIVER
We can’t quite pigeonhole the new single from singer/songwriter Lael Neale, but that’s okay. If you’re absolutely desperate for a hook, then we’re picking up some of the great pop that came out of NYC in the ’80s – kinda part punk, but not all OI! and FLOB!, rather, uptempo loftmuzik with Farfisa and cool…
