WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Geese shot to fame seemingly overnight, which can only mean one thing – we must don our tinfoil hats and assume something is up. Or at least, that’s what the vibe is currently amongst the chattering indie classes, who think this must be some ‘industry plant’ thing going on, or in one instance, that the…

Madonna promised that she’d be leading us back to the club (where you can dance – for inspiration, c’mon!) when she said a sequel to the mighty Confessions of a Dancefloor was coming our way. Well, now it is totally official, with ‘Confessions II’ getting released on July 3rd. And there’s a teaser to whet…
-
Well, we told you that Boards of Canada had started dropping clues, and now it seems official that they are indeed back, having uploaded a video to their official channels (as have Warp Records) simply called ‘Tape 5’. The clip is similar to the VHS cassettes that had been sent to a select few, except…

We’re new to Spacemoth and on the strength of the new track, we’ve been missing out! Spacemoth is actually Maryam Qudus who is out on the West Coast of the US, and is a producer as well as a fine musician. There’s a new album coming out called ‘Inward Eye’ which you can get stuck into…

Jasmín is new to us, but we’re always in the market for some heavy techno and dancefloor action, and her new track ‘It’s Girls Night’ caught our attention, being all deep and sophisticated as it is. She’s released this with Fabric Originals and the release – with other tracks we think – will get a…

We played ‘Roamer’ by Spill Tab on our latest radio show, and really liked it. Apparently, she’s from Thailand and has relocated to Los Angeles to make some really fun Alt Pop (we’re not entirely sure of the genre there, honestly), with bedroom production DIY chic mixed with some New Wave goodness. Well, we thought…

To simply refer to Asha Bhosle as an iconic singer doesn’t quite capture the influence and reach of her towering voice in Bollywood and Indian culture – she is one of the defining voices of any generation, and she has passed away aged 92. Spanning eight decades, Bhosle recorded tens of thousands of songs and…

One thing that’s really nice about The Lemon Twigs, is just how prolific they are. They always seem to have new music out, which keeps us (and them) entertained. And the quality isn’t letting up, which is pretty remarkable. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Look For Your Mind’ and there’s already singles…

Kelela is back, and it’s a little bit different from the artist you knew. She’s burned down her socials and whatnot, to start afresh, which would point to her releasing a new album, or new ‘era’ if that’s your thing. You can listen to ‘Idea 1’ right now, of which she says is about “what…

The latest radio show is here made by us – FREE RANGE / APRIL 2026 – and there’s loads of good music to be had and listened to for free, because that’s how we do things here, right? No sponsors – do it for the love of the game. There’s music from Trinidad, Brazil, Niger,…

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…
