WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The folk tradition is something that is always alive and well, and concerning The Unthanks, ever more so. Good news then, that they have a new double album coming out called ‘The Unthanks in Winter’. Appropriately you’ll be able to get hold of it and hear it on November 29th and there’s a song you…

Amyl and the Sniffers have a new video out and there’s a lot of nudity in it. It’s the kind of video that, if you’re getting your knickers in a twist about it, then you’re the kind of uptight tool that could probably do with a bit of skinny dipping to sort yourself out. First,…

Who doesn’t love a bit of library funk? Well, the ace folks at Be With are putting out Geoff Bastow’s (library legend) ‘Music To Varnish Owls By’, which honestly, is one of the finest album titles you’re likely to ever hear in your life. Thankfully, the music is every bit as good. This is one…

If you’re a fan of cute indie pop with a twist, you’re in luck. This here, is a new song from Mei Semones and we’re hearing flickers of bossa nova and jazz mixed into her sound. Mei released an EP earlier in the year called ‘Kabutomushi EP’ which regrettably, passed us by. We’re off to…

Look, we don’t know how this is new to us, but here’s a great video of Nirvana – pre Nevermind – playing in a Radio Shack and it’s adorable as hell. What else is left to say? Just watch the video already.
-
Sometimes, someone does the work for us and all we have to do is simply point you in the direction of it. In this instance, it’s an interesting enough video (which has pretty protestant tastes, but we’ll let it slide) about the death of the double album. Now, there are 2xLPs in existence now, but…

After saying that she wasn’t bothered about the prestige of a needless arena tour, Chrissie Hynde is brilliantly speaking her mind again because she doesn’t give a fuck. We say that as a compliment. Now, Hynde has got under the skins of some wet-wipes this week because she’s asked fans not to continually command the…

‘Reset’ with Panda Bear and Sonic Boom was very warmly received by the psychedelic heads. Good news is that Panda Bear is back with new music, this time with ‘Defense’ featuring Cindy Lee. This is part of a new LP called ‘Sinister Grift;, which is coming out in February with the mighty Domino Records. Co-pro’d…

We’ve been really excited about the new album from the brilliant Dora Morelenbaum for a while now. With previous releases, we were reminded of the spirited bossa of the likes of Joyce Moreno and Caetano Veloso at his quieter, more poetic moments. However, on hearing ‘Caco’, the new work promised a broader spectrum of sounds…

It’s so obviously sad when a young person dies, and aged 31 years old, Liam Payne was no age at all. Whether or not it’s been apparent that Payne has been struggling in recent months, the fact is that, aside from his time in One Direction, his solo work and the fact that he’s spent…

REWIND WITH A NEW APP
If you’re very knowledgable about music and go on about it, there’s no telling you anything. For the rest of everyone, there’s a new app that you might like! You might not! We’re not your real dad. Anyway, an app. So, there’s a new app out that’s called Rewind and what it intends to do…

KATE BUSH, GEORGE MICHAEL, MISSY ELLIOT, ATCQ AND MORE NOMMED
There’s a lot of musicians and bands that haven’t been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and when you read the latest list of nominations, you’ll be like “THEY’RE NOT ALREADY IN THERE?!?!” This year, up for the award… and unbelievably not already in there, are Kate Bush, George Michael, Missy Elliott…

YVES TUMOR TOUR AND LP
Yves Tumor isn’t quite like anyone else around at the moment, but one thing we do know is that the music they’ve been making is undeniably sexy. Good too, mind you. Future glam mixed with Prince’s grimier moments, with a dollop of psychedelics thrown in. It’s fun stuff. Well, good news pop fans, there’s going…

VIC MENSA VS THUNDERCAT
Hey! Vic Mensa has teamed up with Thundercat and singer Maeta on a new track called ‘Strawberry Louis Vuitton’, which is good news isn’t it? We like them. Not so much Louis Vuitton, but that’s not through any moral stance – rather – we haven’t ever been able to afford it so it doesn’t mean…
