WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

The reappraisal of The Style Council has been a lovely thing to see, and now they’re getting the deluxe treatment on their records, that means previously unreleased gems are afoot. The album getting some love is ‘Cafe Blue’, and one of the treats from this expanded version is a longer version of the single ‘The…

If you like your psychedelic music to be fuzzy and heavy, then you need to get on the new track from Earth Tongue. They’re going to release a new album – their third – and it is produced by Ty Segall. It will be called ‘Dungeon Vision’, and the track we’re sharing here is called…

James Blake has returned with some new music, namely, the first single from the new album ‘Trying Times’, which is landing on shelves digital or otherwise on March 13th. The new song is called ‘Death of Love’, which he performs live in the new video for it. Look, with names like those, they’re not going…

In all honesty, we don’t know much about the rapper who calls himself Sideshow, but we just heard a new track from them and we thought it was pretty interesting. Do you call it indie-hip hop? Whatever it is, it isn’t rage rap, trapcentric or a Golden Era throwback, which means he’s making music in…

Did you see Aldous Harding post something on Instagram recently, about some tour dates, but couldn’t really read it because the colours were making your eyes go fizzy and the quality of the image was pretty bad? Well, don’t worry – we’ve written them all down so you don’t have to squint. She’s going on…

We had to go with the ClickHole headline “Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point” headline, as Kid Rock sat before Congress and created a situation where a horrible idiot made a sound point. See, Kid Rock – Robert Ritchie to his doctor – has testified about the costs of gig…

Shintaro Sakamoto has been quietly blowing minds for musical magpies for a while though, but for those not with their ear tuned to Japanese rock, the name might not be familiar. More’s the pity, because Sakamoto is one of the most prolific artists on the planet right now, channelling psych, AOR, funk, slo-mo ’80s soul,…

Thundercat is back with some more deliciously smooth shit, as he announces a brand new album in the process. It only seems like yesterday that he released a record, but it’s actually six whole years since we had a long player of his to listen to. The new album is out April 3rd and from…

We’ve written about Green-House and featured them on our radio show – fact is, in ambient circles, you won’t find many records better. With that, it’s wonderful to learn that there’s a new album due called ‘Hinterlands’. If you’re sold enough and just want the facts, it’ll be released on 20th March on Ghostly International,…

Kneecap aren’t mucking around and are back with a new single called ‘Liars Tale’, taking potshots at Kier Starmer in the process. The track is from forthcoming LP ‘FENIAN’, which will land on April 24th. In the track, you’ll hear: “Fuck Keir Starmer, Netanyahu’s bitch and genocide harmer” adding they’ve “never seen a cunt so boring.”…

NEON LOVELINESS FROM MEGA BOG
Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

DORTHIA COTTRELL’S DARK HEAVY PSYCH
There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots…
