WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
They’re a good pair Anderson Paak and Knxwledge, so it’s good to learn that they have a new LP coming out called ‘Why Lawd?’. It should be on the shelves on June 7 via the legendary Stones Throw, and there’s not a huge amount of information to go on, so obviously, keep an eye on…
-
We fizzed with excitement when we heard Fabiana Palladino’s ‘I Can’t Dream Anymore’, and now there’s a full length debut album which saw Stereogum saying “they don’t make pop music like this anymore”, and Petridis enthusing and giving it album of the week over at The Guardian. It’s clear that Palladino is doing things differently.…

Keith Haring is rightly having a renaissance these days, even if we’re a smidge worried that a few too many products have been licensed with his work. When he painted, Haring would listen to music and if you’ve ever wondered what he was listening to, wonder no more! The Keith Haring Foundation has compiled the…

Look, we don’t make the rules – but L’Imperatrice are one of the coolest bands on the planet and the fact that they’re French and make a brand of Saint Tropez disco makes them even cooler. So, when they’re dropping an album, you should absolutely prick your ears up. This will be their third LP…

Apologies if you thought this article was about the ace Habibi Funk comps that always tickle the pickle. It’s not, but don’t stop reading! This is a new group called Habibi and they’ve got new stuff out which is fun as shit. There’s a new track called ‘Do You Want Me Now’, and that’s taken…

AI is a thing and an inescapable one at that. It’s been trickled into our lives and it doesn’t look like there’s a great deal anyone can do about it. Now, in manufacturing and science terms, it seems like a genuinely exciting use of this latest flame – but in pop culture, less so. Naturally,…

After starting out in drag (and pretty much seeing it through for his career), Little Richard walked the tightrope of sacred and profane. ‘Tutti Frutti’ was originally about ‘tight booty’, before cleaning it up to be the greatest rock ‘n’ roll song ever recorded. It wasn’t all bangers about anal sex, but the run was…

There’s a lot of great hip hop that never made it to vinyl for whatever reason, so it’s always great when someone reissues one and for the first time in many cases! With that, the always magic Be With have Superstar Quamallah’s ‘Invisible Man’ on the go, to celebrate it’s 15th anniversary. Want to know…

New FREE RANGE radio time! You want the tracklisting so you can read what kind of stuff is on the show before pressing play? Coward! Okay, we’ll play along and give you the goods. Music from all over the world as ever, with new songs and older ones too. On this show, we fawn over…

It’s very interesting that Beyonce has decided to release a country album, in part because it’s a revenge LP after the Country Music Awards committee snubbed her ‘Daddy Issues’ track – hell hath no fury like a wealthy celebrity scorned. It’s also interesting because Beyonce is such a megastar, you have to be curious to…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

KEIYAA’S LUXURIOUS R&B
keiyaA is a new artist to us, but we gather a previous release was called ‘Camille’s Daughter’, and got decent reviews. Well, this is the first new music since then, and it is one of the most luxurious, rich R&B tracks we’ve heard in ages. The new song goes by the title ‘Stupid Prizes’ and…

REVIEWING FUNERAL SONGS
Choosing what music you’d have played at your funeral is a fun game, if you’re the kind of person who likes making arbitrary lists of tunes while you’re sat on the sofa or down the pub. If you’re reading about music for no good reason, chances are you’re one of those people. So what do…

TATYANA WITH A NEW HOUSE BANGER
We wrote a love letter to Tatyana’s album and redux, because frankly, there’s other artists getting their flowers when she was basically in there first. Not everyone has major label promo money, so it’s important we yell about the great music she’s releasing. Thankfully, she keeps putting out cool stuff, and now there’s ‘Overdue’ which…

JELLO BIAFRA X KING GIZ
Look, it doesn’t matter if you heard ‘Police Truck’ by the Dead Kennedys via Tony Hawk, a punk club in the ’80s, or any particular place – it’s essential listening whenever it hits you. With that, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard got DK’s Jello Biafra on stage with them to perform the legendary track,…
