WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Kaytranada and Aminé are a match made in heaven really, so it’s nice that they’re teaming up again (they’ve worked with each other a bunch before) on a project called KAYTRAMINÉ. Initially, we heard about this via a video on Instagram where their names are being presented on a lovely, orange MPC looking thing. Then, there was…

Kanye West is game for dunking on at every opportunity, which in part is richly deserved, but also really depressing. The man needs to be accountable for the things he says and does, but jesus, it’s rotten watching someone be so very ill in public. With that, along comes cringebag no.1, Drake. He shared a…

The latest FREE RANGE show is up and this one is a little chaotic with loads of killer music on it from all over the world. This one has a guest presenter on it which is real fun. You can listen to it below and the tracklist is a little bit below that. FREE RANGE…

Cosmic country pop? Like Gram Parsons but with a will to actually sell some records? Big claim that, but fuck it, let’s go with it. We’re talking about Jenny Lewis, who is a bit of a legend in certain circles, and who has a most excellent wardrobe (stop pretending that this isn’t a thing that…

It’s funny that ageing rockers bemoan the thin-skins of the yoof, while acting like petulant babies all the time, throwing their toys out of the pram and indulging in very ugly, public, hilarious spats. Just look at Pink Floyd. A very dignified set of old men there. With that, we turn our attentions to KISS.…

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…

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.

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…

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…

If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

ARE BANDS DEAD? (NO)
The Guardian have written an interesting piece called ‘Are Bands Dead?‘ Basically, it’s about the resurgence of solo acts and all that. Like we said, it’s interesting, but of course bands aren’t dead. There’s loads of good bands knocking about aren’t there? And some of them are really popular. In indie, you’ve got Wet Leg,…

NILE RODGERS VS ST VINCENT
Nile Rodgers, still reminding us how many classic songs he wrote and produced even though everyone knows by now, is working with St Vincent and, honestly, that sounds like a marriage made in heaven. Rodgers, of course, has been having something of a resurgence this past few years, contributing to Daft Punk’s big hitters and…

LIL YACHTY GOES PSYCHEDELIC
If you missed it, Lil Yachty has gone psychedelic. Now, we’re not talking full mid ’70s German progressive cosmic rock psychedelic, so don’t get your hopes up. However, he is spreading his wings away from robo-pop/kindergarten-trap. That’s always fun isn’t it? His first new LP in ages, he’s released ‘Let’s Start Here’ and it’s taking…

DID SONIA CREATE THE PERFECT STALKER SONG?
When you’re singing along to a song at the top of your lungs, sometimes you don’t know what you’re singing. Sometimes you can be singing the saddest lyrics imaginable, but you’ve not realised because you’re half-cut on a bottle of rum and some floor-drugs, and it’s Friday night. Ever danced to ‘Gimme Gimme Gimme’ by…
