WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Look, we could tell you all about Matthew Sweet, or we could assume you already know all about him. Frankly, we don’t think we need to do all of that, because if you’re new to him, this song will be all the impetus you need to find out more for yourself. That’s because some songs…

Before he transformed himself into Ziggy Stardust and took over the alternative rock scene, David Bowie was trying to position himself as a mod-face about town, making beat records in tight trousers. Well, these years (which produced some serviceable work, honestly) are being looked at on a new set which will be released on September…
-
The problem with drum ‘n’ bass albums is that, if you only like the genre to a certain point – or solely on a night out, dancing communally with others – they can wear a bit thin quite quickly. That’s why, when someone makes a breakout, crossover record, they have to cast their net a…

Gayance is a huge favourite of ours, and the last album she released is still firmly on our turntable. ‘Mascarade’ married house with R&B, jazz fusion and all your favourite styles of music, in one unique and irresistible package. If you want to read a review of the album, you can do that here. With…

Cornershop are a true treasure from the British Isles, reminding us that music can be every bit as fun as it is important. You can make a point and take some jabs at dickheads while still putting a big smile on everyone’s faces, right? Either way, Leicester’s finest have a new track out which marries…
-
If you like your Post Punk to have a bucketload of funk and dirty disco in it, then you need to get on this new track from Sweeping Promises. They happen to have a new LP coming out in August called ‘You Say I Romanticize’ too, so good news all ’round. They say of this…
-
There’s a lot of fuss being made about The Linda Lindas and honestly, it seems well earned to us, as they’re a good-time shot in the arm for punk with a pop slant, that doesn’t sound like the dreaded ‘pop punk’ – there is a difference. Now, the girls are on a major label and…
-
Well, if it isn’t an absolute marriage made in heaven – the new champion of drum ‘n’ bass and the queen of bassline – Nia Archives and Jorja Smith – on a track together! It makes a whole lot of sense, and you know it! This is the fourth single from Nia’s new album ‘Emotional…
-
It’s strange for old heads to hear the influence of old, glitchy electronic music finding it’s way into new releases that basically sound like pop music. And it’s strange in a good way. The influence of SOPHIE went overground when Charli XCX announced that, whether anyone liked it or not (and most people did), it…
-
We got a press release filled with words that confused the hell out of us, but it clearly piqued our interest enough to press play over all the other press bunf we get. It said: God of War, the project of They Are Gutting A Body of Water’s Douglas Dulgarian and Hooky’s Scott Turner and…

GET EXCITED FOR THE WOMACK SISTERS
We’ve written about the Womack Sisters a couple of times now, and we’ve getting more excited every time they release another song, and now it’s getting silly. This brand new track now puts them in the ‘highly anticipated’ section of our hearts for any album that’s due! Smoking hot soul music with the kinds of…

NEW NONAME TRACK ABOUT A SQUATTER
Noname is a unique voice in music at the minute (complimentary) and she’s back with a new track which is on a topic we’re not sure we’ve heard before. She’s telling the tale – along with the ever lovely Dram – of a squatter moving into her house while she was away on tour. This…

BIBIO + DORIAN CONCEPT
If you like bubbling analogue synthesisers and bucolic loveliness, then you absolutely need to get on the new track from Bibio and Dorian Concept. It’s called ‘Shame’ and we don’t know a whole lot more about it than what we’ve listened to, but honestly, you can enjoy it for what it is. Gorgeous.

UNRELEASED PRINCE LEAK
Unreleased Prince music is always exciting, and as anyone knows, there’s a metric tonne of it in the Paisley Park vaults. Prince was a prolific man, and then some. Well, there’s a new leak out, of a gorgeous, smooth jam which would have appeared on his debut LP (we think) called ‘Whenever’ that’s appeared online.…
