WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’re not trying to be That Guy by getting excited about a DJ playing vinyl and mixing manually, but it is a treat when someone does a cool set the old way. There’s nothing wrong with the USB stick crew, but allow us to feel nostalgic. With that, we just finished listening to a brilliant,
-
We’re forever rooting for Kacey Musgraves as she’s just about the freshest voice in country music at the moment, and seemingly is unafraid to march to the sound of her own drum, where a lot of other country musicians bind themselves with musical conservatism. Well, Kacey has signed to Lost Highway Records which has relaunched,
-
We have been incredibly lazy when it comes to reminding ourselves to share the tracklisting from the FREE RANGE radio show. We plain forgot that it was a piece of admin we used to do, until we were reminded by a listener. So with that, here’s the latest show for May 2025, featuring a lot
-
Jorja Smith has committed herself, it seems, to do whatever the hell she wants, and we’re absolutely strapped in for the ride. From dreamy R&B, to killer UK Garage appearances, and now, absolutely filthy bassline music. To get you up for the weekend, here’s her new track ‘The Way I Love You’, which will punch
-
We already told you that the mighty Aesop Rock has got a new LP coming out called ‘Black Hole Superette’, but we’re going to stick with the promo, as he’s got a new track out and he’s ever reliable and wordy and fun. The new track is called ‘Send Help’, and he’s got all his
-
“When I was young, I got raped by a bitch twice my age.” The opening line to YG’s recent single ‘2004’ there, to almost zero column inches or thought. While music journalism focused once again on Kanye’s latest implosion, Kneecap’s politics and gamely filling up pages with Korean pop in the hope to grab some
-
We’re fast getting obsessed with Turnstile. They’re no ordinary hardcore band, and wear a variety of influences on their sleeves, with a richer sound that simply whacking you over the head with breakdowns (which obviously, is fun in its own right). This new run of music had us wondering if they’d gone a bit Balearic
-
There’s no-one quite like Stereolab, so it feels really good to have them back. All your record collector mates will feel at peace and like summer is truly here, now that the groop are releasing records they can name all the influences from. It’s a heartwarming thing and mercifully, the new material is as good
-
When Rebecca Lucy Taylor burst out, upwards and in every direction, with the sensation that was ‘Prioritise Pleasure’, it was a refreshing tone of voice which mixed camp winks and nudges in the ribs, with some loud proclamations of womanhood that felt modern, authentic and, perhaps most importantly, witty. While a lot of music aimed
-
Given that we know how Gene Simmons dresses for his work, and what he does for a living, we’d be daft for wondering if he was an entirely serious man, or not. Well, he’s had a deal on for fans with some money to spend – and as anyone with even a vague interest in

DYLAN SINGS MASTERS OF WAR
Bob Dylan is pretty tight-lipped mostly, and when answering questions, prefers to be on the side of cryptic. It is fair to say that he’d rather let his music do the talking, which is probably why fans read so much into his songs. With that, for the first time in years, he’s opened his set…
-
WOLF ALICE GO PSYCH
It is fair to say that Wolf Alice’s new album is pretty keenly anticipated, and they’ve got a new song out which is only going to add to any excitement from their fans. In fact, we’d suggest that the latest one might be the pick of the crop. It’s called ‘White Horses’ and it’s a…

DISCLOSURE + ANDERSON PAAK
Disclosure are always a whole load of fun when they’re collaborating with guest vocalists, and now they’ve dropped a track with Anderson Paak, which makes a lot of sense and we’re surprised it hasn’t happened before. With that in mind, it seems like this one has been on the boiler for a while. The group…

JEHNNY BETH IN BRUTAL FORM
You may know Jehnny Beth from Savages, but now, we’re dealing with a solo record which goes by the name of ‘High Resolution Sadness’, and it is absolutely brutal and needs to be played loud enough to leak out of your headphones on the bus. This is from Beth’s second solo album, ‘You Heartbreaker, You’, which is…
