WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The Lemon Twigs have hit a hot streak lately, and in that time, have set up their own record label. Very nice indeed. What that has translated into now, is a solo cut from Brian D’Addario called ‘Till The Morning’, which has a mild echo of The Band in it, along with all the lovely,
-
Ever see Method Man and Redman’s name together on a new release and hope it sounds exactly like you’d hope it’d sound? Great news for you then, because the legendary pair have teamed up on a track that sounds like super fun Golden Era hip hop that’s funny, fun, brassy, and all that good stuff.
-
Electric pioneer and Canadian music legend Bruce Haack is always worth diving into when it comes to one of the most interesting and brilliantly oddball back catalogues, so news of a reissue is worth pricking your ears up for. His 1975 work ‘This Old Man’ is being tarted up and you’ll be able to buy
-
“You broke my sitar, motherfucker!” In the current climate of pop and rock, it might be impossible to think of a documentary like ‘DIG!’ being made. So unflinching is it in parts, that you can’t foresee the manicured bands of 2025 allowing themselves to be shown quite as starkly as The Dandy Warhols and Brian
-
James Elkington has a very pleasing folkie number out – along with a bunch of other songs too – all for a new LP called ‘Pastel De Nada’. The album is out March 28th, and of the new bits, ‘Very Berk Squad’ is a beautiful little instrumental gem. Press play.
-
AI is objectively awful for people who actually make things. In short, big tech is taking things from people, and it means they’ll lose their income. While some use of AI may make you laugh or be kinda novel, the fact remains that governments the world over are saying that it’s okay for tech companies

Ever wished someone would make some synthpop that leaned a little more on the gothic side of things, without falling into stupid sexpot Industrial music? We have some great news for you! Circuit des Yeux have released a new track called ‘Canopy of Eden’ which is from new LP ‘Halo On The Inside’. It’s a
-
Mclusky have a small but devoted fanbase and, rightly so, even if occasionally the reaction to adoration from the band can seem fractious at times. It’s all part of nervous, tense fun, obviously. They’ve announced a new album called ‘The World Is Still Here and So Are We’, which is their first in 21 years.

Pearl Charles is great. She’s made shimmering ’70s pop, glitterball disco, and cosmic singer-songwritery stuff. It’s the latter that her latest release errs on the side of, and it’s one of her best songs to date! She’s been working with the brilliant Michael Rault on her new music, and ‘Step Too Far’ is a brooding,
-
Kanye has been at it recently and a lot of people have been talking about him being off the meds, which illness his brain has, how he’s not been the same since his mother died, and on and on and on and on and on and… It’s obvious that attention is one of the major

REVIEW / JUSTIN BIEBER / SWAG
The release of Justin Bieber’s ‘SWAG’ album was, for most, a surprise. Not least because of the absence of promotional materials released in the build-up to it, but in part, it was remarkable that he’d even been working on anything. For those not terminally swirling around Bieber’s plughole for every morsel of information, he’d only…

AI / DOES ANYONE CARE AS LONG AS IT SOUNDS OKAY?
People who write about music, overthink music, read books and websites about music, devour music documentaries and go on Wikipedia deep-dives, are not your average music listener. Don’t read that as ‘better’, rather, atypical. Think about it – there’s people out there who saw the Oasis reunion, but were completely unaware that Liam Gallagher just…

SUKI’S ROCK N ROLL INJURY
Rock n roll is a perilous business at the best of times, what with the circus life trying to get you on the drink, drugs and a variety of sexually transmitted diseases. Spare a thought then, for poor ol’ Suki Waterhouse. The singer, songwriter and actor took to social media this week, and informed her…

ROCHELLE JORDAN IS THE BEST
Rochelle Jordan started off as a woozy LoFi(ish) R&B singer, but since pivoting toward a modern take on Chicago House, she’s absolutely took off like a rocket! Seductive, smart, fun, classy – pretty much all of her releases have been top-tier. With that, she’s announced a new LP called ‘Through The Wall’, which we’ll be…
