WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
For fans of R&B, and soul music infused with jazz and classical, Roberta Flack was one of the greatest to ever do it. She had hits with Killing Me Softly, and the utterly gorgeous The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, as well as the wonderful Feel Like Makin’ Love which would be covered…
-
They were called Girl Band, and changed their name to Gilla Band. And that wraps up the back story and mandatory SEO stuff so that we hopefully appear on various search engines. Alan Duggan Borges from Gilla Band has a new thing, and it sounds good! This new project is called The Null Club and…

Have you been missing the sounds of indie sleaze and electro clash? Do you still wish you were drinking bottles of Moscow Mules and seeing girls in oversized belts over short skirts? Well, you better listen to the new one from Sextile. With brash synths, shouted verses and 808s, you’ll be firing up Spotify to…

Those who were lucky enough to hear the music made by Bill Fay, were changed forever. Sadly for Bill, he never quite got his flowers and now, as we’re faced with his passing, we’re once again wishing more and more people knew how wonderful he was. A statement from his label, says: “Bill was a…

Neil Young has teased a full UK tour (and Europe, and the US) this year, and god knows how much tickets are going to end up being, but still! Talking to his Neil Young Archives site, he yelled ‘Join us in the SUMMER OF DEMOCRACY’, before adding that there’s going to be a proper announcement of some…

A lot of Nu Yacht is a bit silly, wearing sea captain hats and unable to override it’s own irony – not always though! Smooth grooves are an awesome thing when done right, and with ‘Sou Fera’ by Julia Mestre, we have a gorgeous, sophisticated little shuffler that mixes Brazilian MPB with West Coast loveliness,…

The Lemon Twigs have hit a hot streak lately, and in that time, have set up their own record label. Very nice indeed. What that has translated into now, is a solo cut from Brian D’Addario called ‘Till The Morning’, which has a mild echo of The Band in it, along with all the lovely,…

Ever see Method Man and Redman’s name together on a new release and hope it sounds exactly like you’d hope it’d sound? Great news for you then, because the legendary pair have teamed up on a track that sounds like super fun Golden Era hip hop that’s funny, fun, brassy, and all that good stuff.

Electric pioneer and Canadian music legend Bruce Haack is always worth diving into when it comes to one of the most interesting and brilliantly oddball back catalogues, so news of a reissue is worth pricking your ears up for. His 1975 work ‘This Old Man’ is being tarted up and you’ll be able to buy…

“You broke my sitar, motherfucker!” In the current climate of pop and rock, it might be impossible to think of a documentary like ‘DIG!’ being made. So unflinching is it in parts, that you can’t foresee the manicured bands of 2025 allowing themselves to be shown quite as starkly as The Dandy Warhols and Brian…

BRUTALISMUS 3000 SOUND OF A RAVE YOU’RE NOT INVITED TO
Sometimes you hear music and you’re put in mind of some imaginary party that you’re probably not cool enough to be invited to, filled with impossibly thin people in early Noughties tracksuits that you can’t believe are fashionable these days, all cheekbones and bouncing around. Well, electro pop group Brutalismus 3000 made us think of…

There’s music from Mali, Italy, Ghana, France, Brazil, Turkey, Cameroon, France, Suriname, India, the US and…

REMEMBER THE BOARDS OF CANADA GAME?
We miss the days of frivolous, immersive websites with easter eggs and games and interactive things on them. With that, we remembered the interactive game that featured on the old Boards of Canada site, and thankfully, there’s a document of it! Uploaded to YouTube and featuring the music of BoC – therefore very pleasant indeed…

CORNELIUS WITH A NEW TUNE!
Keigo Oyamada is better known as Cornelius, and he’s one of the most inventive musicians on the planet, and has been for ages. The last thing we wrote about was an absolute gem, and you can hear it here. He’s back with a new tune, to mark the signing to label Eat Your Own Ears…
