WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If there’s anybody in the whole world of music we wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of, it is Pusha T. There’s nobody with an aim truer than King Push, and besides, he seems to genuinely not give a single fuck what anyone thinks. He’s Teflon. Speaking to GQ, he spoke about Kanye.…
-
It may have been released in February, but the chances of English readers being all. Over Biche’s magnificent album are slim, and an album doesn’t need to be fresh off the grill to get excited about. Fact is, it’s so hard to make original music in 2025, that when a band arrives that sound like…

For fans of ’60s psychedelic rock, the Electric Prunes were always one of the more unique and brilliant groups. Their ‘Underground’ LP captured the eeriness of the West Coast counter-culture scene of the time, and their music endured. From ‘Get Me To The World On Time’ and ‘I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night’,…

We have waxed lyrical about the music of Cheapskate before, and with the new single, we’re going to do it all over again. Cheapskate’s music is everything that you love about noirish Brit jazz, ’70s library music and now, with all the sun-soaked bliss of Mediterranean funk and analogue synth bits. ‘The Sea’ is smooth…
-
The term ‘scream queen’ gets thrown around a lot, and often semi-unfairly – but there’s no denying the fact that anyone who stumbled out of seeing ‘In A Violent Nature’ knew that, in Andrea Pavlovic, there was a real talent afoot. The emotional maturity which she met such a grisly task, it isn’t surprising that…

For all of the ills of YouTube and it’s relentless algorithm meddling, it’s still one of the best platforms for independent creators doing great things. This video is a mix of some pals hanging out, eating food, free styling, singing, playing tracks and generally being good for the soul. You need to press play on…

Andy Shauf is in a band called Foxwarren and they’ve got a new song out called ‘Deadhead’, and like most things involving Shauf, it’s power-poppy, catchy, fun and all that good stuff. However, you NEED to see the video for the new track because it’s a slice of real oddball silliness. Almost like a Tim…

‘Lord Willin’ is an all-timer of a rap LP, so it is worth getting excited that Pusha T and No Malice have started to roll-out the new stuff for their reunion. There’s a new LP called ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ which, brilliantly, seems to be a Marge Simpson quote. The first new album in over a decade,…
-
Lorde’s new roll-out has been a pretty interesting one, with impromptu parties and such, and now a new song called ‘Man of the Year’, which is emotionally exposing in more than one way in the new video. Of the new LP – ‘Virgin’ – she’s sharing a new video where she throws herself wholeheartedly into…
-
Look, we know Boiler Room kinda stinks – but when they do it right, they’re one of the best in the business against your better judgement. With that, in what feels like old Internet, giving you something totally unique, regional, and new, Ethiopian Records did a Boiler Room set and it’s an instant classic. New…

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…

UNDERCOVER MCCARTNEY
It’s remarkable, that for a band as well documented as The Beatles, that there’s any surprises left. Yet, there we were with our jaws on the floor watching Peter Jackson’s ‘Get Back’, while Paul McCartney chipped away at a notion until it became the centrepiece of the whole film. Never mind the rooftop gig (great…
