WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
A new album from Looking Suite is as welcome as throwing the windows open in the middle of gorgeous weather, and as we waddle out of Summer and into Autumn, we find ourselves pressing play on ‘Wide Range Dream State’ – the newest long player from our favourite ambient, post-noodle, neo-prog leaning guy. Released on…

TSHA has a new song out called ‘Green’ and its ace! It’s a dancer, but it’s an emotional affair too – just what we like to see! There’s nothing quite like an emotional banger, right? She says: “Me and my partner were in the studio together, about to write something. He was getting on my nerves,…

A little while ago, there was a spate of records and acts that were kinda miserable, but anthemic with it. It wasn’t exactly Grunge 2.0, but emotional lyrics and crunchy guitars were definitely back. One of the better artists from this period was Soccer Mommy, who as it happens, is back with a new song!…

Men I Trust – it’s been a while. The last thing they put out was back in 2021 when they released their ‘Untourable Album’, which went down very well with everyone. Of course, there’s been dribs and drabs, and last year they put out the ace ‘Ring of Past’, but now, they’re back with a…

The Green Child are an Aussie group that went from two members to four (apologies for the old picture, then) and they have a really cool new single out called ‘Wow Factor’ which reminds us of loads of good stuff made by loads of other cool and unique bands. Seriously, we’re into it! There’s a…

Vince Guaraldi’s work with the soundtrack on the Peanuts cartoons is rightly the stuff of legend. Achingly cool and whistleable jazz, bopping away under the utterly charming and razor sharp voice work from the Shultz created characters, which obviously include Snoopy and the mighty Charlie Brown. Re-discovered in the vaults is the somewhat timely ‘You’re…

Allegra Krieger has a new album out called ‘Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine’, and you’ll be able to hear that tomorrow in fact! Below is the final single that preempts it, and it’s really cool. We really liked another single she released in the build-up to this – here – which was a neat…

The presidential race in the USA has a lot hanging on it, for sure, but regardless of that, the whole thing has made for some really good TV. It always does, because one thing the Americans love, is making great television. A thick line has been drawn and either side of it stand two candidates…

A lovely little Detroit one-two here from Babyface Ray, featuring Veeze. Babyface has a new album this week called ‘The Kid That Did’ which we’re looking forward to hearing. In advance, you can listen to ‘Wavy Navy University’, which is a psychedelic take on trap-hop. Big Sean, Pusha T and G Herbo count themselves as…

MUNA are great, have had a number of hot songs, and with that, have seen their popularity rightly grow. The group’s identity have seen them filling a hole in pop culture which has seen a pocket of fans feeling incredibly seen by them, to use the common parlance of the youth. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns…

STRETCH, FLEETWOOD MAC, WHY DID YOU DO IT?
You can find all manner of amazing and strange things when you keep watching lousy old documentaries. We’ll get onto that shortly though, because first, have you ever found yourself dancing along to ‘Why Did You Do It?’ by Stretch? It’s a favourite of the DJs, or you may have it on one of your…

TRUGOY RIP
De La Soul are a group that means so much to so many people. There’s not many better debut albums than ‘3 Feet High And Rising’, loved just as much by hip hop die-hards as people who loved pop, rock, dance music, soul music and the rest. At the turn of the ’90s, after the…

BAILEYS + EUROVISION IS A FUNNY PARTNERSHIP
This reeks of an advertorial, but it isn’t – who would sponsor this swill? It is about a brand partnership, but it’s of note to us because it’s kinda funny… and we’ll tell you why. Baileys – the booze cream drink – are teaming up with the Eurovision Song Contest and they say that they’re…

M*RRISSEY AT IT AGAIN WITH CRASHING PREDICTABILITY
We’re in 2023 and what’s worse – people still excusing M*rrissey’s behaviour or people like us still falling for it and writing about it? Anyway, here we are, falling for it again and thinking ‘is it boring getting a few licks in for the craic?’ Probably. People who don’t like him are sick of hearing…
