WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Believe it or not, there’s still a war on drugs, despite drugs clearly being the victor. Fact is, music and taking drugs go hand-in-hand, whether you’re getting off your chops at a rave, bumping a key a gig, or rolling some fat ones while you dissolve into the sofa listening to John Martyn records. And

Cleo Sol is quite possibly the best soul artist the UK has ever produced so it’s great to hear that she’s got a new LP on the bubbler. The album is called ‘Heaven’ and it’ll be out in just a few days, on September 15th. She put a little teaser online for those who need

We already told you the ins-and-outs of the new deluxe version of Prince’s ‘Diamonds and Pearls’ edition, so we won’t repeat ourselves again. Interestingly though, there’s another previously unreleased recording to come from the project. This time, it’s a version of ‘Cream’ that shows off a new arrangement and is obviously excellent, because it’s Prince

More new music from Portable Radio! The second single from the imminent ‘Counting To Three’ LP and this one is a Zombies-esque romp that should tickle your pickle no end. The video is a smart animation by the tremendous Nirshath Madhusanka who you can find more about here.

Joni Mitchell’s archive series has been really great and it should be of no surprise that there’s been some real gems that have previously been unheard by us plebs in the vaults. And so, with her Archives Volume 3 which is out October 6th, we’re getting treated to a track called ‘Like Veils Said Lorraine’
-
My Analog Journal has done it again, this time with a wonderful mix of Haitian psychedelic music, played by Belgian-born DJ Tracksuit (great DJ monicker that) He says: “I fell in love with Haitian music about a year ago after Cedric Woo’s Dance for Haiti mix series inspired me. I went down a Discogs rabbit

Ezra Collective are the first jazz act to win the Mercury Prize (although Speech Debelle feels at least jazz adjacent tbh) and you might have had your interest piqued with this news. Their album ‘Where I’m Meant To Be’ bagged the gong and it got a bunch of approving nods from various heads – and
-
There’s a strength to the music of Saint Saviour that’s always been impossible to ignore and lyrically, it’s all there laid out if you’re looking in the right places. Well, she’s back with more wonderful music after a handful of really wonderful LPs, and the new track ‘Better Than’ kicks off with “I told my
-
We were idly reading this piece about the Fatback Band and, jovially we’ll note, they were talking about how underrated they are. They’re 100% correct and they are without doubt one of the most influential bands to ever do it. In the piece, they mentioned a track that we didn’t recognise and if you’re not

We, along with everyone else, was right about the Hackney Diamonds thing, in that it was a new LP from the Rolling Stones. That’s the name of the imminent album and there’s a new song we can listen to called ‘Angry’. The song itself? Well, it sounds like The Stones which is exactly what you’re

DAFT PUNK UNMASKED AND THAT
You’ve seen Daft Punk without their masks on right? You’re either old enough and saw them live before they got famous enough to afford their fancy robot personas, or you’ve used the internet before and have a curious mind. If not, and it never occurred to you to have a search – good for you…

WHO?: DJ SABRINA THE TEENAGE DJ
If you’ve been pining over some cutnpaste goodtime house adjacent music, where are you going to go apart from maybe your old Avalanches LP, Ross From Friends, and maybe some lo-fi mixes on YouTube? Well, turns out theres a mysterious new artist on the block with a wilfully silly name that we can’t get mad…

WATCH NEIL YOUNG STEAL BOOTLEGS FROM A RECORD SHOP IN ’72
You’re one of the most famous singer songwriters on the planet, and you bustle into a record store late night, and you’re Neil Young holding bootleg copies of stuff you’re on. Hoo boy. The video below is exactly that, and the guy behind the counter is a genuinely great supporting character, seemingly not fussed that…

YUNGBLUD: NOSE LIKE A TWO PIN PLUG (AND SEX SAVES THE WORLD)
Yungblud thinks sex will “save the world”, while also very much having a nose like a two-pin plug. The singer, who you look at and just want to poke a travel adapter in before you trying charging your phone up, insists that the “expression and freedom” of making sweet, sweet shags, is a sure fire…
