WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
There’s going to be a new four-part series on terrestrial TV called ‘Britpop: The Music That Changed Britain’ so you can relive the long summers of your youth, or if you’re young, listen to your parents talk over the show by regaling you with stories about how mum threw up her ring down the side

DJ and producer Aïsha Vertus – you’ll be knowing her as Gayance from now – has been making solid gold bops for a while, but you need to get on their new LP ‘Mascarade’ ASAP. If having your hair stand on end and your limbs flail around wildly is your thing, then you can skip

Eddie Chacon is very much a love of the hip and record collector sorts – sexy dads in Yogi shoes and linen trousers – but the average listener might have needed the Charles & Eddie reference in the headline to hook them in. Just explaining ourselves there in a rather meta way. It’s 2023 and

Remember how good ‘Pharaohs’ was by SBTRKT? Well, good news, they’re back soon and will have a new LP out called ‘The Rat Road’ on May 5th. In a note: “This album has been my most sonically ambitious record to create – following my own musical path – which isn’t based on others’ perceptions of

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.
