WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Have you felt it in the air? R&B summer is upon us and Momo Boyd’s ‘Oops’ single is yet another signpost for it! There’s been a host of great R&B releases and mercifully, there’s real diversity after the genre suffered from being mildly stuck in the mud for a while. We’ll eventually do a whole…

Sophia Stel says she’s a pop star, but don’t expect the glittery sheen of Sabrina Carpenter here. This pop filled with doom. She’s just released a new single called ‘Bitches Talk Shit’ which kinda underlines that point. Sophia has been getting a lot of people’s knickers in a twist and is setting off on a UK…

Rare DM has a new record out soon which goes by the name of ‘Attention’, and you can have a preview of what it might sound like right now. The appetiser is in the shape of new track ‘Honey’, which is moody, but simultaneously, upbeat. She says of it: “I wrote it during the uncertain…

Good news for Tricky fans – he’s just announced a new album called ‘Different When It’s Silent’, which will be out in July. This is the first release under the Tricky name in six years. He’s also got a new manager you might recognise called Alan McGee who convinced him not to give this music…

We don’t know the work of Emily Sprague, of Florist, but apparently she’s taken a left turn. Whatever is happening, we like it! She’s said that her new single ‘Double Moon’ “marks the beginning exploration of a previously uncharted map for me – the realms that combine my modular synthesizer work and my singing/songwriting.” It’s…

Well, it is finally official! There’s a new Boards of Canada album coming out with a release date, new artwork, song titles and EVERYTHING. Yeah, that’s right. The album is called ‘Inferno’, and is out May 29th, and it’s entirely new music after weeks of mystery and speculation, all kicked off with some VHS cassettes…

Kacey Musgraves is readying her sixth LP – ‘Middle of Nowehere’ – after releasing the very tongue-in-cheek ‘Dry Spell’ which had one of the best ‘Yup!’ deliveries we’ve heard anywhere, she’s now given us another track to whet the whistle. The new album is not far away, landing on May 1st, and the artwork and…

Have you heard of Anna’s Archive? Well, it was a project that mirrored libraries from streaming services. You might say they were like a library, trying to preserve all the recorded music, via Bit Torrents. That’s what they said, and it all wasn’t readily searchable from your average internet user either. Of course, there’s no…

If you like your Lo-Fi rock ‘n’ roll to have flashes of early Kinks and Garage Punk, then you probably need to get on board with Australian group, The Gnomes, who like fuzzy guitars mixed with actual songwriting rather than simple yelling. Now that we’re averse to yelling, mind you. The band will release a…

Geese shot to fame seemingly overnight, which can only mean one thing – we must don our tinfoil hats and assume something is up. Or at least, that’s what the vibe is currently amongst the chattering indie classes, who think this must be some ‘industry plant’ thing going on, or in one instance, that the…

What’s the deal here? A music blog, being launched in a time when blogging is absolutely dead, especially trying to cover music? What’s the point in that? Well, call it a labour of love. Call it foolhardiness. Call it what you want, but the chances of this making any money is basically nil, and thankfully,…
