WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Supergrass have announced that they’re going to tour ‘I Should Coco’ in full, but the statement includes a very fun jab at Oasis and the promise of non-Coco hits too. Let us explain. They’re going to celebrate the anniversary of ‘I Should Coco’ which includes the perfect ‘Lenny’, and of course, smash hit ‘Alright’, by…

The longest face in pop music is at it again, using the classic grift of being ‘gagged’ and everyone apparently being against them. Seeing as Morrissey has been saying problematic stuff since the mid ’80s, you’ve only yourself to blame for any feelings of disappointment you have as a Smiths fan. While Johnny Marr manages…

A new album from Looking Suite is as welcome as throwing the windows open in the middle of gorgeous weather, and as we waddle out of Summer and into Autumn, we find ourselves pressing play on ‘Wide Range Dream State’ – the newest long player from our favourite ambient, post-noodle, neo-prog leaning guy. Released on…

TSHA has a new song out called ‘Green’ and its ace! It’s a dancer, but it’s an emotional affair too – just what we like to see! There’s nothing quite like an emotional banger, right? She says: “Me and my partner were in the studio together, about to write something. He was getting on my nerves,…

A little while ago, there was a spate of records and acts that were kinda miserable, but anthemic with it. It wasn’t exactly Grunge 2.0, but emotional lyrics and crunchy guitars were definitely back. One of the better artists from this period was Soccer Mommy, who as it happens, is back with a new song!…

Men I Trust – it’s been a while. The last thing they put out was back in 2021 when they released their ‘Untourable Album’, which went down very well with everyone. Of course, there’s been dribs and drabs, and last year they put out the ace ‘Ring of Past’, but now, they’re back with a…

The Green Child are an Aussie group that went from two members to four (apologies for the old picture, then) and they have a really cool new single out called ‘Wow Factor’ which reminds us of loads of good stuff made by loads of other cool and unique bands. Seriously, we’re into it! There’s a…

Vince Guaraldi’s work with the soundtrack on the Peanuts cartoons is rightly the stuff of legend. Achingly cool and whistleable jazz, bopping away under the utterly charming and razor sharp voice work from the Shultz created characters, which obviously include Snoopy and the mighty Charlie Brown. Re-discovered in the vaults is the somewhat timely ‘You’re…
-
Allegra Krieger has a new album out called ‘Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine’, and you’ll be able to hear that tomorrow in fact! Below is the final single that preempts it, and it’s really cool. We really liked another single she released in the build-up to this – here – which was a neat…

The presidential race in the USA has a lot hanging on it, for sure, but regardless of that, the whole thing has made for some really good TV. It always does, because one thing the Americans love, is making great television. A thick line has been drawn and either side of it stand two candidates…

DOLLY PAIRTON MORE LIKE
Dolly Parton is – and lets make no bones about this – a legend. Over 130 million records sold, the writer of iconic hits, she’s also good people – a philanthropist you could say. One of her charities have given 182 million free books to kids that need them, she pays for the college tuition…

FRANK OCEAN VINYL
You know what it’s like – you finally get into a new band and think ‘I’d quite like that on vinyl’, only to stumble over the fact that everyone else has been into them for ages and now there’s no LPs left. Well Frank Ocean fans new and old, it has been confirmed that ‘Blonde’…
-
NEW GRUFF IS GOOD
Obviously, Gruff Rhys is a legend. A really pleasant legend at that. Whether he’s with the Super Furry Animals (easily one of the most underrated bands who ever lived) or solo, Gruff has an uncanny knack for a sugary melody, but always cut with something psychedelic and unusual. There’s no-one quite like him. And now,…

ROCHELLE JORDAN DESERVES MORE
Rochelle Jordan started out way back when, making great but somewhat typical R&B. It was all hot boxes and day ones tackle – however, she burrowed away and emerged with a truly sensational LP called ‘Play With Them Changes’. While most of R&B is concerned with being exactly the type of hot stuff that could…
