WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

Fans of drinking pints and classic Electro compilations – this is a niche but perfect article for you! For the 40th anniversary of the legendary comps, there’s some special beer being brewed, and boy, the whole thing is handsome and great. The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing…

There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots…

These K-Pop bands are a massive, multi-million dollar business and on one hand, it’s great to see young pop fans getting into music that is spoken in something that isn’t English. However, there’s a big problem – what’s with all the Nazi stuff?! The most recent news concerns Chaeyoung who is a member of Twice.…

If you asked ‘Missy who?’ after reading that headline, then maybe this isn’t the website for you. Anyway, there’s been a lot of noise around FLO this past year, and Pop Justice’s Peter Robinson is a fan and genuinely, that’s something you should always take notice of. They won a BRIT Award, so they’re absolutely…

Initially, this article was just going to be a video of a very tired, very angry baby. We bailed on the idea, because that one time someone reviewed a Jet LP with nothing more than a video of a chimp drinking it’s own piss was effectively the pinnacle of that kind of thing, and has…

BONGZILLA. Just read that name back. It’s great isn’t it? Read that on a festival line-up, and you’re taking notice aren’t you? Handily, it perfectly captures their sound too – thick, heavy doom psychedelic rock. They’ve got a new song out which does exactly what you want to it to, called ‘Hippie Stick’, and they’ll…

Goat released a behemoth of an LP called ‘Oh Death’ much to everyone’s surprise, and now they’re surprising us all again with a new EP called ‘Seu Sangue’ (due out on April 14th, somewhat lessening the surprise when it actually drops). The EP will herald a tour of the UK (and other places) and it’s…

The Chemical Brothers – there’s no-one quite like them. Weird, heady drug music, but still a boatload of fun. Well, they’re back with a new thing. In fact, it’s the first new thing since 2021, which is nice. As ever, they’re back with a very heady drug video (that’s still a boatload of fun) and…

We’ve heard people raving about Lankum, and like all nosey parkers, we wanted to know what was going on to see if we would find a new band we liked, and at worst, not like them and generally be dismissive of other people’s music tastes and bemoan the state of it all. Good news! This…

EDDIE CHACON: NEW ALBUM, GREAT STUFF
Some people are already all over this, some are not – but Eddie Chacon was in Charles & Eddie (‘Would I Lie To You?’ ohyeah!) and he’s been releasing really, really brilliant music lately. Like, utterly fantastic AOR/Future Soul/NuYacht brilliance on Stones Throw Records. No lie. With the 2020 album ‘Pleasure, Joy And Happiness’, he…

MUSIC FROM CULTS
We’re like everyone when we say we’re interested in things that are genuinely horrible. Not ironically; no humour — just a fascination in how things can go so badly wrong… or weird. If you’re not into upsetting things, this is your warning to stop reading right now. Of course, a lot of people enjoy reading…

SOPWITH CAMEL REISSUE? GO ON THEN!
Sopwith Camel ‘Miraculous Hump Returns From The Moon’ ltd coloured vinyl LP reissue pre-order (release date 10th February) Have you heard ‘Fazon’ by Sopwith Camel? It’s utterly fantastic and one of those dreamy, cosmic chuggers that’ll make you want to slowly get ripped to the tits, gently. The good news, if you want to own…

WATCH OUT FOR CHARLOTTE ADIGÉRY & BOLIS PUPUL
Want a bit of avant garde absurdism in your pop? You’re in luck. Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul are a Belgian duo who make the kind of electro-pop we think Grace Jones would like. That Tina Weymouth would love! With elastic-band synth bass, dancefloor ready drum machines, and off-kilter and super sharp lyrics, there’s everything…
