WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Swamp Dogg has been knocking around a while now, but this whole damned time, he’s been a walking legend of funk-fused blues and wry observations – not to mention some natty outfits that are unparalleled! Well, he’s back and thinking about the big stuff with an album called ‘Swamp Dogg Contemplates The Afterlife’. The press…

The algorithm did its thing for a change, and dropped a video on us by an artist who goes by the name of D’Leesa. And she seems to be appearing on other algorithms too. Now, it’s easy to be suspicious when things start to go any version of viral, and you think there might be…

Are you listening to nothing but automated streaming playlists which keep serving up the same ol’ stuff? Are you finding out that Alexa throws you zero curveballs when you’re trying to find something to listen to while you’re cooking a Sunday lunch? Don’t worry – alternatives are available. Mixcloud is free to sign up with…

Julia Jacklin has announced a new LP called ‘The Gem’, which is good news! And of course, if you don’t want to read our words about the whole thing, you can skip to the bottom of this piece and listen to a new song from her. The new single is called ‘Get Away From Me (I…

Lily Seabird has been causing something of a stir, often being put in the pack of the new Indie Country which has been doing something to address the wrongs of a lot of Stadium Country lately. There’s a new album on the way called ‘Lightspheres On Their Way’ which you’ll be able to hear in…

Dawn Richard switches lanes while still managing to keep her essence in each of her projects, and now, she’s back to making the kind of R&B that makes you think ‘instant classic!’, which is good news seeing as it’s the Summer of R&B. Dawn has a new single out which features Durand Bernarr and it’s…

We’ve covered The Linda Lindas a few times on these pages, and every time we do, it’s always the same feeling we get, that they’re noisy, catchy and fun records that sound like a super fun night out. And they’re at it again with a new song called ‘Burning Out’, which is all skuzzy guitars…

Tim Bernardes is one of the finest Brazilian musicians around right now, mixing MPB, ’60s psychedelia, ’70s power pop, Tropicalia and all the music you like, wrapped up in a gorgeous, intuitive songwriting style that has won him fans outside of his home country, the span of the globe. Well, great news is that he’s…

Look, M.I.A. has turned heel and it’s annoying if you want to listen to the kind of music she was so good at. Mercifully, there’s someone here who can take a similar spot, and that’s Alewya. A multidisciplined artist, model, musician, Alewya has been getting people excited for a little while now, but we only…

What do you get when you cross Paul McCartney, Thundercat, Kate Bush, Tchotchke, Weyes Blood, Eddie Chacon, Sylvie and other cool stuff? You get the new album from Buzzy Lee, that’s what. Buzzy Lee’s real name is Sasha Spielberg if you must know, and ‘Shoulder to Shoulder’ is one of those LPs that has you…

PINK FLOYD CIVIL WAR STRIKES AGAIN
Pink Floyd – they’ve always got on so well with each other haven’t they? We joke of course, but any hope for a reunion have been well and truly booted to death this week. Polly Samson, author and wife of Dave Gilmour, have been tweeting. We’ll link to her tweet. Then to Gilmour’s quote tweet.…

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…
