WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you’ve been reading our words for a while, you’ll know how much we love the music of Dora Morelenbaum. Her ‘Pique’ album is one of our favourite records, and is a modern Brazilian classic. Read our review here. Well, Dora has a new video out for the swooning, groovy ‘Não Vou Te Esquecer’, and…

The release of Justin Bieber’s ‘SWAG’ album was, for most, a surprise. Not least because of the absence of promotional materials released in the build-up to it, but in part, it was remarkable that he’d even been working on anything. For those not terminally swirling around Bieber’s plughole for every morsel of information, he’d only…

People who write about music, overthink music, read books and websites about music, devour music documentaries and go on Wikipedia deep-dives, are not your average music listener. Don’t read that as ‘better’, rather, atypical. Think about it – there’s people out there who saw the Oasis reunion, but were completely unaware that Liam Gallagher just…

Rock n roll is a perilous business at the best of times, what with the circus life trying to get you on the drink, drugs and a variety of sexually transmitted diseases. Spare a thought then, for poor ol’ Suki Waterhouse. The singer, songwriter and actor took to social media this week, and informed her…

Rochelle Jordan started off as a woozy LoFi(ish) R&B singer, but since pivoting toward a modern take on Chicago House, she’s absolutely took off like a rocket! Seductive, smart, fun, classy – pretty much all of her releases have been top-tier. With that, she’s announced a new LP called ‘Through The Wall’, which we’ll be…

Okay, it’s not quite new Metronomy, but we had to hook you in somehow. What we have here is a super fun remix of a Metronomy track from 1-800 GIRLS, which sounds like it should start cropping up on the dancefloors around the place, all things being fair. This is a remix of ‘Salted Caramel…

One of our favourite things is a notification on a new release from DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ – from swirling house, to robo-teen drama pop, to an almost Boards of Canada-esque way of creating music that feels both alien and familiar, DJSTTDJ is always worth tuning into. The reference points in the music are…

Everyone’s an Oasis fan these days, now they’ve got back together and either reminded people with greying sides of the summers of their youth, or indeed, giving the young ‘ins a chance to see what the Gallagher brothers are like on stage. Of course, not literally everybody is an Oasis fan and – this writer…

It’s been well over a decade since we last got to look forward to a new full release from Clipse, and here we are in 2025 with ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ – with the pair backed by Pharrell and a host of high quality features, for a release that barely needed any publicity push.…
-
Spies, the Falklands war, Thatcher, Reagan, and a punk band splicing tapes to create a storm to live up to their anarcho legend. If you haven’t heard the story of how Crass caused huge trouble for right wing authoritarian during the Cold War, you need to get on this video right now. Press play.

MERRY XMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, HAVE TIME OFF WORK
The headline is the message. Have a good one. Drink too much and be lazy. Got any Rennies? Love you x

FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO FEEL SORRY FOR DAVID GUETTA
DJing is hard. For most DJs, there’s no security and a host of very drunk people telling you that they would like you to play something else. You do 5 or 6 hour sets and your knees and back hurt. There’s no groupies, because everyone’s getting off with everyone else while you’re stood in a…

THE OPPOSITE OF NEWS ABOUT FOALS
It’s a terrible state of affairs trying to keep your pages fresh with new content, so sometimes, what you have to do is write about literally nothing. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. Don’t complain about feeling short-changed, because we were upfront about this fact. We were upfront about it in the opening paragraph and,…
