WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Lael Neale makes interesting music, and she has a new one out called ‘Down On The Freeway’. Apparently, it is about LA, and of course, you can’t talk about that place without talking about the roads around it. It’s got a brutalist, minimal drum machine, but it is a pretty low-key affair, with a really…

Look, people keep calling them ‘post-rock’, but to us, Tortoise have always been a jazz group – they just move in a slightly different way to more instantly recognisable jazz. Either way, they’re great and new music from them is always a good thing. After almost a decade doing various side projects, they’re back together…

If you love your trap to be cut with a little sugar, then you’re probably already a fan of Rico Nasty’s work. Her new LP is due and goes by the name of ‘Lethal’, and this is the first track from it, ‘On The Low’. Interestingly, this album will be released on the Fueled By…

The story of Duffy’s sudden absence from music is one of the most heartbreaking stories in pop. For those who missed the news, she opened up about a tremendously upsetting ordeal, where she spoke about being kidnapped, held hostage, being drugged and raped. Duffy had retreated from the world of music to rightly recover and…

Day-glo, Looney Toons hip hop, has a special place in everyone’s heart. Only the coldest cynic would fail to break into a huge smile when Skee-Lo’s ‘I Wish’ pumps out of some speakers. That’s where Will Smith lived, with his perennial good time hits like ‘Summertime’, ‘Boom! Shake The Room!’, ‘Miami’ and all. While rap…

Get ready for a whole new generation of kids to learn that Phil Spector is a bad character! That’s because, there’s been a long rumoured biopic about Ronnie Spector in the works, and now we know it’s a thing! It’ll be made by A24 (that’s promising, for starters) and Ronnie herself will be played by…

With a band name like The Horrors, perhaps it is all a bit much to expect too much cheer on one of their records. With this being 2025, and their first LP arriving in 2007, it seems, The Horrors persist. They’ve ducked and dived in the shadows of their influences for years, touching on garage…

Miley Cyrus has gone and announced her new album with a visual teaser. The LP will be called ‘Something Beautiful’, and it is billed as being something that is ‘hypnotic and glamorous’. It’ll be out May 30th. So what can we glean from the spurts of marketing from it? Well, it does seem to have…

Andy Shauf knows his way around a melody, and along the way, has picked up a very dedicated set of fans. He’s got a band called Foxwarren, and they have a new tuneful number out called ‘LISTEN2ME’, and it’s great! There’s going to be a new album too, called ‘2’, which you’ll be able to…

Look, sometimes you get a press release that’s so good, and so comprehensive, that there’s little point in trying to rewrite it and pass it off as your own. With that in mind, after this opening paragraph, we’ve just cut and pasted the whole thing and you’ll get all the info you need from it.…

ALT.WRONGUNS CRY AT PINK FLOYD
Pink Floyd are going to be doing a whole load of things for the anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon. It’ll be 50 and there’s going to be deluxe boxsets and all that stuff, which honestly, you can go and find out about yourself because we’re only mentioning this because the anniversary happens to…

DAVID CROSBY
Bona fide legend and founding member of two of America’s greatest ever groups, David Crosby, has passed away aged a remarkable 81. Founding member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, Croz has left a musical footprint that’ll take some filling. His wife released a statement to Variety: “It is with great sadness after a…

HOT TUNA IS GETTING A REISSUE
Reissues are great aren’t they? Sometimes original pressings are hard to get hold of. Sometimes they’re prohibitively expensive. Sometimes the original pressing sounds like dogshit. Sometimes the vinyl is flimsy. Sometimes you’ve worn your copy out and would like a fresh one for the turntable. So with that, Rhino are reissuing ‘Burgers’, the 1972 LP…

BOYGENIUS: THEY’RE BACK
Do you remember Boygenius? Basically, it was a supergroup of Phoebe Bridgers (now very famous), Lucy Dacus (quite famous) and Julien Baker (also quite famous) and they released an EP, before all three kinda exploded. Well, they’re getting the band back together and there’s new music and some live shows as well. Awkwardly, the album…
