WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Godspeed You! Black Emperor – everyone’s noisiest gig they’ve been too – are back with a new album soon, and it has a typically awkward ame for the time being, which is comforting. We don’t want GY!BE being all cuddly, do we? Not one bit. This new album is titled “NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340

Oasis have got back together and that’s great/terrible news. Millions of people have reacted to the shock reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher with unadulterated joy/weariness as the pair set about assembling a group for some live shows which are sure to be epic/a massive letdown. Of course, Oasis are responsible for some of the

Yaeji’s hyperactive electronic pop can veer in all directions, but we’re very glad to report that the new one is aimed squarely at the dancefloor and phasers are seemingly set to ‘banger‘. The new track is called ‘booboo’ and, after moving away from clubland, it seems they’re back at it and taking names and numbers
-
Niche genres are a silly thing music fans and record collectors love to indulge. Even if you can settle on the specifics of these genres, you then get to the meat and potatoes of pointlessly ranking things. We’re not going to rank them here, even though we were tempted to in a lousy bid to
-
Ever find yourself in this situation? You think you’ve stumbled across someone amazing that no-one else is on, you go to follow them on Instagram and see everyone’s already on it? You preemptively thought about letting everyone in on a new and exciting thing to find out that they may well end up thinking ‘about
-
We don’t know much about Nicole Miglis, but we’ve heard some hype. Now, hype can be a terrible, terrible thing – but it also sometimes just means that people are excited about something new, so lets lean into the latter and go with the good flow shall we? Miglis has a new LP tomorrow which

If you’ve been missing that low-lit, seductive Neo Soul of the late ’90s/early ’00s, then London jazzer Nubya Garcia has just the thing for you with her new single, ‘Set It Free’. After bagging a Mercury music prize nom and a huge tour, she’s coming back with a new album by the name of ‘Odyssey’
-
There’s few joys in life that are nicer than tripping over an album completely by chance and finding that it’s an absolute romp of toytown psychedelic and glorious shed pop! While acid-songwriters in the pomp of the ’60s had huge studios, endless tape and orchestras, since then, things have retreated and paired down. The ambition

Bob Dylan is contributing a song to a new biopic about the life of Ronald Reagan and we absolutely want to mention the massive rumour relating to the phrase ‘THROAT GOAT‘. If you don’t know the rumour, then you’re really missing out. However, we’ve got more factual based things to talk about. The new movie

It really is a sorry state of affairs in the music industry outside of the few who can fill huge outdoor arenas and stadiums – and even some of those are struggling. Companies and venues are taking a cut of bands selling merch, there’s no money in streaming, you have to pivot to being a

FREE RANGE / AUG 25
Our latest radio show is up and available to listen to. It doesn’t matter if you’re signed up for Mixcloud, we think. Anyone can listen, and as ever, it’ll be up for a couple of months so you can listen at your leisure. Anyway, here’s the show itself so you don’t have to search for…

NEW LP FROM HAYLEY WILLIAMS
Hayley Williams released some music for free on her website, hidden behind a password, then everyone shared the password, and they disappeared, only to reappear on streaming services as singles. Genuinely, it’s all be very fun and off-the-cuff, and a neat change from the rigmarole of incessant album cycles, eras, and seeded promo work. This…

REVIEW / SABRINA CARPENTER / MAN’S BEST FRIEND
Without a note being played, ‘Man’s Best Friend’ had annoyed half the internet thanks to the cover artwork. We’re not here for that, because in Sabrina Carpenter, we’ve got a popstar that’s remember that glittery, camp fun is a thing to rejoice. That’s not to say Carpenter lacks substance, but rather, reading too much into…

CHECK HANNAH JADAGU
Hannah Jadagu is new to us, but never mind all that – we really like her new single called ‘Doing Now’, and you might really like it too! The track will appear on new album – ‘Describe’ – which we can hear in full in October, and released on the mighty Sub Pop, which is…
