WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Cate Le Bon is not only prolific, but she’s also one of the more unique artists around, so it is definitely good news that she’s announced a new album. And there’s a song to listen to, taken from it, which you can check below. The LP is out via the excellent Mexican Summer, and features
-
A new satirical music genre just dropped called ‘Co-Worker Music’ and you’re probably wondering what that is… or maybe you just intuitively know exactly what it is… either way, have we got something for you! Co-worker music is also called ‘NPC Music’, and it’s all very glib and a bit sniffy, but that’s okay –
-
Manchester’s gloom glam merchants Deaf Whip have a new single out called ‘Cherry Lotion’, and looks like they’ve got themselves on a cool little label too – notably, the ace Sour Grapes who have been pushing psychedelic rock to all and sundry for a while now. A great fit. Apparently this was recorded in part
-
If you speak Welsh, ‘Y Gath’ is just ‘the cat’, but it is also the title of a new song from Gwenno who hails from Cardiff (and daughter of a Cornish poet, so that’s Celtic Squared). The track is from the forthcoming ‘Utopia’ LP, which is out on Heavenly next week. It features H Hawkline
-
Turnstile are just about the biggest punk group on the planet right now, and it seems like there’s still swathes of rock fans who haven’t cottoned on to this fact yet – and maybe that’s how the punks are going to enjoy it, because after today, they’re going to be absolutely everywhere whether they like
-
We like pop music, and we like it when it’s made by bands (we also like it when it has been made by a pop factory, we’re not being like that) and that’s what we’ve found with the new single from Yumi Zouma. It’s pop, but stripped down a bit, but anthemic and a whole
-
If there’s anybody in the whole world of music we wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of, it is Pusha T. There’s nobody with an aim truer than King Push, and besides, he seems to genuinely not give a single fuck what anyone thinks. He’s Teflon. Speaking to GQ, he spoke about Kanye.
-
It may have been released in February, but the chances of English readers being all. Over Biche’s magnificent album are slim, and an album doesn’t need to be fresh off the grill to get excited about. Fact is, it’s so hard to make original music in 2025, that when a band arrives that sound like
-
For fans of ’60s psychedelic rock, the Electric Prunes were always one of the more unique and brilliant groups. Their ‘Underground’ LP captured the eeriness of the West Coast counter-culture scene of the time, and their music endured. From ‘Get Me To The World On Time’ and ‘I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night’,
-
We have waxed lyrical about the music of Cheapskate before, and with the new single, we’re going to do it all over again. Cheapskate’s music is everything that you love about noirish Brit jazz, ’70s library music and now, with all the sun-soaked bliss of Mediterranean funk and analogue synth bits. ‘The Sea’ is smooth

PROBABLY IMAGINARY SONGS WE WANT TO HEAR JUST FOR THE GOSSIP
Sometimes, someone says something and your brain starts racing. It doesn’t matter if they’re talking a load of cobblers or not, you’ve already internally fired off down seventeen different tangents, and circled around the drain six more times, hoping that someone more diligent will make a documentary about it, or a long-form reader, because this…

DERYA YILDIRIM IS GREAT
Anatolian funk, Turkish psych, whatever you want to call it, has been a super hip and rich seam for record nerds and beat diggers for a little while now, so it was only a matter of time before someone actually Turkish wrestled their music back from the hobbyists and made it for themselves again in…

UNDERCOVER MCCARTNEY
It’s remarkable, that for a band as well documented as The Beatles, that there’s any surprises left. Yet, there we were with our jaws on the floor watching Peter Jackson’s ‘Get Back’, while Paul McCartney chipped away at a notion until it became the centrepiece of the whole film. Never mind the rooftop gig (great…
