WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
John Cameron is a British music legend and you’ll definitely know his work knowingly or otherwise. If you’re wondering who he is, then if you’ve watched ‘Kes’, that’s him doing the soundtrack (and what a perfect soundtrack it is). If you’ve listened to Donovan, then he pretty much did the arrangements on all of Donovan’s

This is 100% going to be an article that rants about the state of Twitter with the incredibly thin premise of being music related, because Doja Cat has said something funny about it. If you’re desperate for a Doja Cat music angle take – yes, she’s been a bit problematic and dim, and her next

Noname is one of the most prodigiously talented rappers on the planet and wilfully at odds with the rest of the pack, which makes her music such a scintillating prospect. Melding beat poetry with Neo Soul, golden age funk, and a delivery that allows for both self-doubt and self-assurance, she’s been making some of the

Remember how we all laughed at the influencers when they got duped into the world’s most awful music experience at Fyre Festival? How we all snorted at the dry-ass cheese sandwiches, hell-scapes, bedlam and tall talk from founder Billy McFarland? Well, someone tell the meme-makers and shitposters, because it’s coming back according to McFarland. Maybe

Fun, sun-soaked piano pop? Thanks to the new one from Bonny Doon, we can shout YES PLEASE! The track is called ‘Let There Be Music’ and it’s the title track from the new LP they’re releasing with ANTI on June 16th. If the rest of the album is anything like this, then we’re sure to

One of America’s most defining pop voices is Cass Elliot, and we don’t call her ‘mama’ around these parts okay? There’s a decent amount of tragedy around Cass, but we’re not focusing on that right now. Instead, we’re just going to listen to that beautiful voice of hers. You’ve heard this song a million times

For the last of the Bank Holiday, here’s a great sunshine soul mix from one of the best YouTube tune sharers around – Music For Empty Rooms They’ve shared endless brilliant deep cuts and obscure gems, and this mix will see you right if you’re having a lazy day or sat on the stoop with

It really has been a high watermark period for African music. Even including the ’70s when Africans were making some of the most culturally significant music on the planet, it didn’t reach the commercial successes that it has in recent years and it almost feels like we’re due a lengthy, thoughtful piece on the whole

R&B seems to be traversing into Balearic territory lately and we’re very about it. While SZA has the bedroom SensitiveGirl market cornered, it seems the underground is making plays to chug with downbeat tribal house and sunshine chooglers. The latest track that’s made us want to split a couple of yokes with pals is from

You might know Richard Olson from his stints in The See See and the magic, cosmic country outfit The Hanging Stars – but this time, he’s doing something new with The Familiars. Of course, Olson’s music tends to float toward the psychedelic and we’re happy to report that this LP is no different. In even

What’s the deal here? A music blog, being launched in a time when blogging is absolutely dead, especially trying to cover music? What’s the point in that? Well, call it a labour of love. Call it foolhardiness. Call it what you want, but the chances of this making any money is basically nil, and thankfully,…
