WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Seeing as, for the most part, Nick Drake didn’t have much in the way of compilations as to keep his entire back catalogue in rotation – in recent years, that’s changed with some odds and ends and previously unheard things seeing the light of day. And that’s continuing with something for the ardent Nick collectors…

Turnstile aren’t like other hard rock groups – you can hear the breadth of their influences on their records, as they clearly listen to more than just punk – there’s electronics, jazz, psychedelic indie, shoegaze and more in the mix, and they’re all the better for it. With that, we’re pretty convinced now that they like…

Writing about electronic music is not one of the easier things to do, especially when it is more abstract, and elegantly linear. With Barker’s ‘Stochastic Drift’, it’s worth it as an exercise though, as what we’ve been faced with is one of the finest electronic LPs we’ve listened to in ages. It’s part techno, part…

All the cool kids and record-collectors love Stereolab, so obviously, we’re excited to share the news that the groop are back. It is their first LP in 15 years AND there’s a new single for you to listen to, too! The new track is called ‘Aerial Troubles’, while the long-player is called ‘Instant Holograms On Metal…

We wrote a very enthusiastic review of the newest album from Bad Bunny, and honestly, that giddiness has only grown in the time since then. Well, he’s put a great little band together and he’s done a Tiny Desk show for NPR, and honestly, it’s an instant classic. Get stuck in.

Welcome to a new sporadic feature where we let interesting and cool people tell us what they’re listening to, what makes them tick, and what they love about certain records. 10 songs that mean something to someone you’ll be interested in – as easy as that. Imagine going back to someone’s house after the pub…

When you think of Florida, you generally think of messy, silly things and some dodgy retirees in golf buggies. Of course, there’s so much more to the area than simply being America’s wang. There’s good music down there. From Jacksonville, there’s SAILORR, who has a fair amount of buzz around them at the minute, thanks…
-
He’s based in the UK, but Nigerian born, Obongjayar – who is new to us – has announced a new record called ‘Paradise Now’, which we’ll all be able to hear in May. ‘Sweet Danger’ is the name of the new track, and honestly, whatever we were expecting from looking at a thumbnail, this ain’t…
-
He’s one of the hardest lyricists on the planet, with almost unmatched wordplay for the most part, and with that, has come a legend cemented in the underground. He’s not likely to trouble a Top 40, but that’s not Aesop Rock’s M.O., so that’s fine. There’s a new track from a new album to listen…

One of outsider folk’s greatest, Michael Hurley, has passed away aged 83. The sad news was confirmed by his family. Hurley was an influence on a host of artists and responsible for some of the greatest slices of American freak-country ever recorded. In a statement to Rolling Stone, they said: “It is with a resounding sadness…

WHO STOOD HERE
There’s a brilliant Instagram account by Steve Birnbaum which sees him tracking down the locations of music photos from the past – Nirvana, Madonna, Basquiat, Biggie, Grateful Dead, June & Johnny, Prince, Amy… so many iconic photos that we’ve seen before – but what of the location right now? If you prefer, you can ignore…

PROBABLY IMAGINARY SONGS WE WANT TO HEAR JUST FOR THE GOSSIP
Sometimes, someone says something and your brain starts racing. It doesn’t matter if they’re talking a load of cobblers or not, you’ve already internally fired off down seventeen different tangents, and circled around the drain six more times, hoping that someone more diligent will make a documentary about it, or a long-form reader, because this…

DERYA YILDIRIM IS GREAT
Anatolian funk, Turkish psych, whatever you want to call it, has been a super hip and rich seam for record nerds and beat diggers for a little while now, so it was only a matter of time before someone actually Turkish wrestled their music back from the hobbyists and made it for themselves again in…
