WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Swedish pair GHLOW have announced a new album which will be called ‘Levitate’ and out in March. That’s all well and good, but can we listen to something first? Course we can! That’s precisely why we’ve done this piece. The new song is called ‘Big City’ and it’s a bit of a face-melter. Super fuzz,…

Say what you want about the insanity of stan-level fans, but occasionally, they do something you can’t help but applaud. When super fanatics aren’t doxxing or cancelling people over a decade old cock-up, they can unify and actually try for something quite noble. This time, it’s Taylor Swift’s Swifties, who are basically taking Ticketmaster to…

We reviewed Andre 3000’s new album, and while it was a ambient flute workout, we couldn’t help thinking about Outkast. It’s kinda unfair of us, but they’re hip hop’s greatest of all time (and we’ll fight you about that, if you like) and we always want to see the greatest in action. So with that,…

When The Beatles released Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, they probably knew they were onto something good, but the cultural impact it had invariably superceded expectations. Of course, the UK’s psychedelic set relied heavily on pirate radio stations, and one such broadcaster was the Big L – Radio London – transmitted from an old…

Listen, we understand if you completely sidestep reading this and hurriedly press play on the video below. We get it. However, if you want some dramatic tension building, then this clip is a mind-blower. Your two favourite Mormons, singing “your everlasting summer and you can see it fading fast, so you grab a piece of…

Fans of the heavier end of psychedelic rock, we have some good news for you! Swedish heavy-hitters Les Big Byrd have a new song out and they’ve set their controls to melt your brain. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Diamonds, Rhinestones and Hard Rain’ which will appear in March ’24. The first…

Both Young Thug and Donald Trump are up against the Georgia legal system, on a RICO trial, and both camps will be watching each other closely. This leaves people in a unique bind, where the innocence of one may directly influence the innocence of the other. See, broadly speaking, they’re being accused of the same…

Having watched the Kanye and Ty Dolla listening party, there were a number of moments worth talking about. And not for the first time, we have an element of separating the art from the artist, because as much of a piece of shit Ye has been lately, regrettably, he can still make a great tune.…

Given that 70% of the world uses Android, Apple are a strange phenomena given that, being the primary operating service in the States, it has a particularly loud voice in the marketing world. Of course, Apple fans are so sewn into the iOS mainframe that they can’t conceive of a world outside itself (which is…

Not technically a mix, but some bright spark has uploaded an old tape that would have had an old department store ringing out with festive cheers. And it’s surprisingly groovy in places, if you’re looking for something to stick on while you wrap the presents and drink 4 bottles of Baileys. Or, if work doesn’t…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

MORE GOOD STUFF FROM AUTOMATIC
We wrote about the last Automatic release because it was pretty awesome, and now there’s a newer one that’s making us think that we need to keep them in mind, as the next LP might be a total winner. The newest song is called ‘Lazy’ and like the last one, it has a super fun…

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…
