Since Prince’s untimely passing, the infamous Paisley Park vaults have been prepped to treat us fans with new and unheard bits and thanks to a new super deluxe version of ‘Diamonds and Pearls’, we’re being gifted two things to listen to and honestly, it’s all very exciting and very nerdy. So what have we got?

We don’t know a huge amount about Föllakzoid so we looked them up. They’re Chilean, they’ve collabed with Atom™ and J Spaceman from Spiritualized, and most importantly, have a new and huge techno whumper out called ‘V-II’. Apparently, this is the first new music in quite a few years and there’ll be an album out

The Rolling Stones seem to be up to something. After the wild success of Paul McCartney’s viral campaign for McCartney III where he left clues all over the place about an imminent LP, it seems the Stones are at it now. An advert appeared in a local newspaper for a glass repair shop. The clues

We don’t recall having hear of Population II before, but it’s obvious that prog never went away when you listen to their new track ‘C.T.Q.S.’ That’s not a criticism by the way. Only the weak turn their nose up at prog, and the equally weak like prog but can’t joke about it by saying ‘proggy

One of the black clouds that has hung over the legacy of Talking Heads is the friction between band members. David Byrne devotees have glossed over his treatment of Tina Weymouth for years – notably ignoring his repeated auditioning of Weymouth. Of course, the rest of the band could be just as difficult, but the

This post is, effectively, a record lovers ASMR video. It’s also cute as hell. If you haven’t seen one before, this video details “the world’s smallest record player” aka The Mighty Tiny. They’re the stuff of legend with people who love old record players and enthusiasts of hip old gadgets. In this video, a lovely

NOURISHED BY TIME’S GENRE SHIFTING GEM
We’re kinda not sure what music is being made by Nourished by Time, and honestly, that’s a good thing in the year of our lord, 2025. It’s so easy to get tripped up by genres, and here, we’ve got a song that has an applaudable free spirit. It’s not pop, it’s not freestyle, it’s not…

HAYLEY WILLIAMS DROPS MUSIC
Everyone was scrabbling around looking for a password so they could hear Hayley Williams’ new music, we found it, nearly published it before it transpired that she’d removed all the music from her website.

DARK DISCO FROM GANSER
Honestly, if a group is dubbed ‘post punk’, there’s a good chance we’ll swerve it as we’re over it already.
