WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
You’re probably looking at this very article because you’ve listened to the FREE RANGE radio show of July and wanted to know what some of the songs were called on it. Or, this piece is the very reminder you needed to alert you to the fact it is out in the first place. Either way,…

Gilla Band used to be Girl Band, but changed their name. We’ll be able to stop saying that soon, as they’ll have a new album out and we can all move on. This new record is called ‘Pugnello’ and if you’re not fussed with more writing and want the tunes, scroll to the bottom for…

Like everyone else, we’re completely in love with Pink Pantheress and everything she does, so the news that she’s collaborating with Kelela is fantastic news, right? They might feel like two artists with opposing sensibilities, but they share a lot of common ground. This new track is called ‘The Bridge’ and is from Kelela’s new…

We’ve featured Biita Houdei before, and now we get to tell you about her debut album which is coming out in September, and there’s a small UK tour to accompany it too, for fans of sunshine acid-folk. The album goes by the name of ‘This Bed Was Made For Me’ and we get to hear…

Jorja Smith knows how to put a banger out, so it is fun news that she’s announced a new record which will be called ‘What Are The Odds?’, and you’ll be able to hear that next month, specifically on August 21st. She’s collabing with producer P2J and there’ll be features from Devlin and WizKid too. “This…

We don’t know a whole lot about new group Tokyo Tea Room, but we do know that we like this new song by them, which goes by the name of ‘All Night’. It has a really nice video too, which doesn’t do it any harm. There’s a new album coming out called ‘Feel Forever’, which…

Jon Hopkins has collaborated with Imogen Heap on a new track which, honestly, is a marriage made in heaven. It does seem strange that they haven’t crossed paths before, and Jon Hopkins agrees. He says: “I’d been building this piece for something like a year and kept coming back to it, but it never quite…

The United States is having an alternative country boom at the moment, to fly in the face of all that dreadful MAGA business, and all the stadium country acts profiting from it. One of the exciting faces of this movement is Angela Autumn, who grabbed some column inches with her ‘Electric Lizard’ records which came…

It’s a tough business trying to predict what Mykki Blanco is going to do next. One minute, it’s killer bass heavy rap, the next is dreamy rock, the next it’s seeing photos from the British countryside having a nice, rainy holiday. This time around, it’s the music, on a brand new track called ‘Butt Sex’,…

We haven’t had the chance to cover much Estonian music, so we’re thrilled to give a nod to the new track from Holy Motors. If you’re into the kind of psychedelic music that combines vaporwave, dream pop, shoegaze and all that good heady stuff, you will find a lot to like here. They have a…

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.…
