WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’re big fans of NONAME who is someone who absolutely marches to the beat of her own drum, and she’s at it again with a surprise new track! Called ‘Hundred Acres’, it appeared on the algorithm which did its job for once, and as you’d expect, it’s smart as hell, funky, irresistible chorus, and is…

If you’ve heard ‘Dig My Grave’ by Lankum, you’re probably still a but spun out by it (or thunderously turned on if that’s you’re thing) and it’s gothic bedlam. Well, they’re at it again with a little treat for Halloween (and the general state of the world, sadly) with a unique take on ‘Ghost Town’…

Kelly Lee Owens is ace, especially when she’s in dancefloor mode – and she’s shared a new track from the EP ‘KELLY’ which we particularly like. The release of the EP is November 21st, and this new track should get your motor running in the meantime. It goes by the name of ‘132 TECHNO’, and…

A lot of R&B lately, has been so stoned or strung out on Xannies that it’s barely there. That’s fine and all that, but sometimes you want something a big more focused and bigger with the kind of drums that rattle your windows. Thank god then, for keiyaA, who is dropping her ‘hooke’s law’ album…

He’s a long way from his ‘Cartel’ days is Murkage Dave, and it’s been great to see his creative expand upwards and outwards. Genre-hopping, confessional and honest, he’s been releasing his best work since going solo. And there’s a new single called ‘Swordfight In A Chicken Shop’, and there’s a lyric video with it, so…

For people of a certain age, it’s always bad news when the things of their youth become ‘retro’. However, with that, comes an appreciation of the things we loved from the past. As subscription fatigue takes hold with the global youth, the Wild West of the old internet looks appealing once more. The premise of…

The Orielles are back, and that’s great news. They’ve announced a new LP which will be their fourth, called ‘Only You Left’. You’ll be able to hear the whole thing on March 13th, but of course, there’s a new song to tide you over. The new song is a heavy, psychedelic affair – a touch…

In a pop age where everyone is dropping cryptic messages and leaving trails of breadcrumbs and codes for fans to pore over, it’s little wonder the kids are all still mad on ‘Rumours’ for its open messiness and hostilities. In an age that’s obsessed with the tea and all the various ingredients, it’s refreshing to…

As we kinda expected, Rosalia’s new single is not one for the dancefloor. That’s not a criticism – more a statement of fact. Heavy orchestral business, very grand and will surely be a curtain dropper at any shows, it features Bjork and Yves Tumour too! The upcoming album is called ‘LUX’ and, as we previously…

Have you seen ’65 show where a bunch of The Beatles contemporaries perform the music of the group? Hosted by Lennon and McCartney, offbeat humour, fun stage design and barnstorming performances from Lulu, our Cilla, Marianne Faithfull, the boys themselves, and more, this was broadcast just two weeks after ‘Rubber Soul’. Not too shabby eh?…

LAMBCHOP NEW SONG FOR REFUGEES
There’s a new compilation out to benefit those in need with Western Vinyl called ‘Passages: Artists in Solidarity with Immigrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers‘. It’s out Friday and one of the lead artists on it is the always brilliant Lambchop with a song called ‘Afterburner’. Other artists include Tim Heidecker, Bonnie Prince Billy, Dirty Projectors,…

DNB VIBE WITH FAUZIA
The UK underground has been bubbling with drum ‘n’ bass and it’s offshoots for a while now, and some of it is really cool, with a fresh twist on things, like the new single from FAUZIA, called ‘My Way’. You may recognise the name from the long stint with NTS radio, with her long running…

MAVI’S INDIE RAP
Is it called Indie Rap? Y’know, that new-sounding-but-not-trap hip hop that bridges the gap between Golden Era stuff, modern stuff, and Neo Soul? Either way, we’re kinda hearing that in the new one from Mavi. Taken from the new mixtape ‘The Pilot’ (which is out right now), ‘Triple Nickel’ is a standout, which you should hit…

ELECTRONIC MIX WITH JIMPSTER
There’s a lot of copycat channels that try and do it like My Analog Journal, and none of them curate interesting music nearly as well. So of course, we share another ace mix they’ve uploaded, this time focusing on UK electro, electronica and whatnot, from the 90s. The DJ goes by the name of Jimpster…
