WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Amyl and the Sniffers have a new video out and there’s a lot of nudity in it. It’s the kind of video that, if you’re getting your knickers in a twist about it, then you’re the kind of uptight tool that could probably do with a bit of skinny dipping to sort yourself out. First,

Who doesn’t love a bit of library funk? Well, the ace folks at Be With are putting out Geoff Bastow’s (library legend) ‘Music To Varnish Owls By’, which honestly, is one of the finest album titles you’re likely to ever hear in your life. Thankfully, the music is every bit as good. This is one
-
If you’re a fan of cute indie pop with a twist, you’re in luck. This here, is a new song from Mei Semones and we’re hearing flickers of bossa nova and jazz mixed into her sound. Mei released an EP earlier in the year called ‘Kabutomushi EP’ which regrettably, passed us by. We’re off to

Look, we don’t know how this is new to us, but here’s a great video of Nirvana – pre Nevermind – playing in a Radio Shack and it’s adorable as hell. What else is left to say? Just watch the video already.
-
Sometimes, someone does the work for us and all we have to do is simply point you in the direction of it. In this instance, it’s an interesting enough video (which has pretty protestant tastes, but we’ll let it slide) about the death of the double album. Now, there are 2xLPs in existence now, but
-
After saying that she wasn’t bothered about the prestige of a needless arena tour, Chrissie Hynde is brilliantly speaking her mind again because she doesn’t give a fuck. We say that as a compliment. Now, Hynde has got under the skins of some wet-wipes this week because she’s asked fans not to continually command the

‘Reset’ with Panda Bear and Sonic Boom was very warmly received by the psychedelic heads. Good news is that Panda Bear is back with new music, this time with ‘Defense’ featuring Cindy Lee. This is part of a new LP called ‘Sinister Grift;, which is coming out in February with the mighty Domino Records. Co-pro’d

We’ve been really excited about the new album from the brilliant Dora Morelenbaum for a while now. With previous releases, we were reminded of the spirited bossa of the likes of Joyce Moreno and Caetano Veloso at his quieter, more poetic moments. However, on hearing ‘Caco’, the new work promised a broader spectrum of sounds
-
It’s so obviously sad when a young person dies, and aged 31 years old, Liam Payne was no age at all. Whether or not it’s been apparent that Payne has been struggling in recent months, the fact is that, aside from his time in One Direction, his solo work and the fact that he’s spent

Moog synths are great. They simultaneously sound like the future and the past, and everyone rightly loves them. So with that, the Capstone Theatre in Liverpool is going to have a series of celebrations to mark the 60th anniversary of the legendary instrument. If you’re not interested in any more words from us and are

BRAZIL MAGIC FROM SESSA
There’s something amazing going on in São Paulo at the moment. The scene is active and inventive down there, being like a second coming of the Tropicalia movement with psychedelic pop and rock bursting out all over the city. In fact, the whole of Brazil is musically in rude health these days, and the latest…

BAD BUNNY VS ICE
Bad Bunny’s world tour ruffled some feathers when the date announcements showed no US stops. Of course, fans were disappointed, but it’s pretty obvious why he wasn’t going to perform on the mainland. We all guessed it, but now he’s confirmed that he won’t be playing shows due to the real fear that ICE may…

TORO Y MOI FAVE LPS
With some musicians, you can just tell they’ve got good record collections. Some people just look like they like going into record shops. Toro Y Moi is definitely one such person, and handily enough, it translates into his music too, with a cool mix of West Coast grooviness, easy psych, and funk electronics. With that,…

WINGS ANTHOLOGY
The reappraisal for Wings has been a welcome one, as Paul McCartney’s post-Beatle career finally got a fair shake of the stick after everyone released what a fun and inventive outfit Macca had assembled through the ’70s and ’80s. With that, there’s going to be a self-titled anthology collection which has been signed-off and overseen…
