WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Dent May has been making glorious pop-rock for ages now, covering McCartney-ish harmony and Power Pop gems, with a dash of New Wave and more. He’s one of the best to do it, honestly and you’re probably already a fan Well, good news – he’s back with a new track and news of a new…

Chloe Slater has been causing quite a few waves with her brand of alt-pop, noisy business. And there’s a new single to listen to called ‘UGLY’, which hits out at beauty standards, consumerism and all that bad stuff foisted upon Chloe and women in general. Looks like Gen Z have had it up to here with…
-
We’re always in the market for music that reminds us of soft psych, like Millennium and The Free Design, and mix it with gorgeous psychedelic folk, and you’re really speaking our language. And so, to Biita Houdei who has a beautiful, joyful new song out called ‘Life Inside The Hourglass’, which is instantly charming and…

Do you like PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, Snail Mail, St Vincent and the Pixies and the like? Well, if you don’t have Blondshell on your radar, you should, because we’re picking up strong classic rock, grunge, NYC loft parties and boots on the ground indie in her music. There’s a new single called ‘Heart Has…

We don’t know too much about Ibeyi, other than they’re dubbed as ‘French-Cuban’, which is a dynamite pair of musical cultures to collide into each other, if you ask us. And on the strength of the song we just heard, well worth keeping an eye on! They have a new LP coming out called ‘Offering’…

When Jorja Smith is in the mood, there’s few people who can make dancefloor ready music quite like her. She is truly the best of all things British music, and with her new single, she’s gone and done it again. She is, apparently, entering a ‘new chapter’, which we’ll no doubt hear more about in…
-
Are you kidding? That’s too much music for one sitting. That’s too many songs at the same time to wade through. That’s like, a million tracks or something. There’s other music that needs listening to as well, right? So, with that, let us simply guess what’s contained within these THREE albums all released at exactly…

Sometimes, we give you the tip-off as we stumble into it, rather than hoarding it while we form an opinion – it is sometimes better to just yell ‘Hey! Check this out! This might be cool and we should all find out together!’ With that, we just listened to ‘Cola’ by Namasenda who is apparently…
-
Anyone related to El Michels Affair is worth taking note of, and member and studio whizz Marco Benevento has been releasing some seriously good pop (of an alternative variety – don’t be expecting Dua Lipa or anything like that) under his own steam. There’s a new album due called ‘Glera’ which is out in July,…
-
You know Mike D aka Michael Diamond aka maybe the goofiest guy in the Beastie Boys – well, he’s got a new single out, and seeing as the Beasties are cool guys, we’re sharing it here because good for him! The single is called ‘Switch Up’ and, importantly (and somewhat remarkably) it is the first…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

HARD FEELINGS REMIX IS A BOP
Hard Feelings, we think, is Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Amy Doublas. We’d check, but we have to check everything at the minute and it’s tiring. You can just watch the video below, wish it was Friday night already, and then do your own research for once. This is called ‘Dangerous’ and is a remix…

FLO MILLI WITH THE FUN AS HELL HIP HOP
Just because you’ve grown a little weary of one type of thing doesn’t make it automatically bad. However, hip hop has suffered a little from being introspective and melancholy, when given the state of the world, we really could do with a shed-load of in-your-face fun. So with that, thank god for ‘Nasty Dancer’ by…

CHRIS MOYLES RANT SHOWS HE DOESN’T LIKE MUSIC, BUT YOU KNEW THAT
Some people want to be DJs because they want to share all the music they love with other people. Some people want to become a celebrity. Then, there’s Chris Moyles and we’re not sure what he wants. Does he remind you of one of those lads who turns up half-way through a gig with 7…
