WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Bad news for fans of SAULT – it all might be over, and as ever, the root of all evil is money. See, Little Simz has sued producer and SAULT collaborator Inflo over £1.7 million – a sum not to be sniffed at. The claim was filed in January, and Inflo was accused of withholding…

Some of the songs that will feature in the 2025 have been released, but not all. We looked at the betting for some of these songs, and honestly, we can’t see how they’ve fallen like they have, but we only have our gut to work with, rather than analytics and whatnot. The favourites at the…

Remember WU LYF? Well, to many, they were a brief but seminal band. Hailing from Manchester, the group broke up, and went off to do their own thing. Francis Lung emerged, as did Lost Under Heaven. Now, it seems like the old band are getting back together, heralded by a countdown clock on a site.…
-
Haim have a new song out and, honestly, it sounds just like a Haim track. We mean that in the nicest possible way, as it’s filled with fun, harmonies and groovy business. It’s the group’s first new music since 2023, and it is called ‘Relationships’ and honestly, they’re famous enough that they don’t need our…

Anyone who has heard ‘Dreaming With Alice’ will no doubt have lost their damn minds thinking about how incredible ‘Mandolin Man’ is – one of the greatest acid-folk tracks of a generation, and seemingly one of those songs recorded by someone who didn’t get a fair crack, and lost to the midsts of time. Well,…

We wrote about the new Spinal Tap movie a while ago, and we could link to that piece to prove it, but you wouldn’t click it, so what’s the point? We’ll recap here either way. The good news is, is that a teaser has been released for you to watch! It’s called Spinal Tap II:…

When music and video games collide, it really is a wonderful thing – and there’s not many games that straddled both worlds quite like the Tony Hawk series of games did. Like skateboarding itself, it’s not just about the activity itself – it is equally about the lifestyle that envelopes it. Sports games tend to…

Every time country music goes worldwide, lurking in the sidelines, is someone making a more record-collector version of country, and they get all the scruffy boys and girls all giddy! This time around, it is MJ Lenderman who is carrying the torch of Silver Jews-esque slacker country, and it’s great. Good news for people in Europe,…

It is always nice to have a bit of hip hop which feels like it was made for the summer. Laid back, witty, vibey affairs to bop along to while you’re going about your business. Thanks to Samara Cyn, we’ve got some of that going on, just in time for some nicer Spring weather. The…

We don’t know a huge amount about Joy Oladokun, but we know we like this song when we heard it! It’s a great little chugger – Balearic beat, you might say. You might not. It’s a fine vibe though, and we can see it popping off while you’re having a dance in your living room…

CLUSTER ZUCKERZEIT COMES AGAIN
Like noodly synth stuff from Germany? Course you do! Well, if you’re not already all over ‘Zuckerzeit’ by Cluster, you’re in luck! That means sugar time, by the way. It was the third LP from the cosmic German outfit, originally released in ’74, and an off-shoot of the also wonderful Harmonia group. And Neu! Basically,…

OLD GUY NOT KEEN ON HARRY STYLES/BOWIE COMPARISONS
Harry Styles dresses glamorously, so regardless of the music he’s making and thanks to a couple of sequins and whatnot, we are by law, required to liken him to some people from the ’70s. Seeing as most people identify the ’70s with David Bowie, then Harry Styles must be like him, eh? Now, we actually…

SHEENA EASTON DEBUT AGAIN
Sheena Easton has had a funny ol’ career hasn’t she? From ‘Morning Train (Nine To Five)’ to being in a band with Prince, it’s quite the leap, eh? Well, concerning her own work, the lovely people over at Cherry Red are reissuing her debut LP ‘Take My Time’ from 1981. Now, we haven’t looked at…

NEW GILLA BAND
Formerly Girl Band, now Gilla Band, they’ve got a new single out called ‘Sports Day’ and honestly, you can probably just scroll to the bottom of this article and listen to the track and skip all the fluff. However, the fluff is slightly necessary for us as we have to provide something that looks like…
