WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’ve featured Green-House on our pages a couple of times now, and we’re thrilled to share even more music as we’re completely rapt. They have a new album coming out on Ghostly International and to celebrate that, a second single has been issued which we’re completely in love with called ‘Under The Oak’. The new…

Things appear online and you just have to admire people’s ability to find stuff and share it with everyone without wanting recompense. Here then, we have one of the finest videos we’ve seen – a funk, gospel and soul revue from 1970 which stars Tina Turner, Five Stairsteps, Edwin Hawkins Singers, The Isley Brothers, The…

We are big fans of PinkPantheress here, and her album ‘Fancy That’ has rightly got a shedload of plaudits and enthusiasts. And then came the remixes, which were also a whole load of fun too! Well, now there’s a Four Tet remix which is a energetic little affair and not two artists we’d immediately put…

You need to be on the ball to keep up with JME as he doesn’t really do things like anyone else. Name another MC that stopped performing while they made money selling hoverboards. Right. Well, he’s put out a new hot banger, and he’s all out of track names. No fuss, no drama, no promo…

Fun, wholesome albums are hard to get behind a lot of the time, because they can sound insincere and wishy-washy in an environment where pop is required to be overtly sexy or have some kind of grievance. However, with Hilary Duff’s new album, she’s super easy to root for. She’s embraced the memes, she’s nostalgia…

Did you hear that Gnarls Barkley are getting back together and releasing their final LP? You probably did. Well, if you heard and just want to listen to the new track from CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse, scroll down. If you didn’t hear the news, the album will be called ‘Atlanta’, and it’ll be out March 6th,…

Tom Jenkinson AKA Squarepusher is releasing a new record which will be his SIXTEENTH release – impressive stuff. Of course, you can hear a new song from it below to whet your whistle while you wait for the whole thing. The album is called ‘Kammerkonzert’ and is out on April 10th on Warp. While you may…

It can be a heavy thing carrying a famous name, and that’s what the Womack Sisters have to deal with, what with them being the nieces of the legendary Bobby, BG, Zeimani, and Kucha Womack respectively. The girls have signed to Daptone and have a new single out called ‘You Went Away Too Long’, which…

In 1984, legendary alternative pop show The Tube decided to go to Berlin to see what was happening. The Cold War was looming large and the hipsters were out en masse – some of them dressing up like the Gestapo and vicars, as well as the classic Goth Punk looks of the time. Muriel Gray…

It is so nice to hear some music that is influenced by psychedelic music, but doesn’t lean wholly on that fuzz pedals and drone stuff that most gravitate toward. We geddit. We like Suicide and the Velvets too. And so, to Eggs On Mars. They’ve decided that instead of black denim jackets and Chelsea boots,…

NIA ARCHIVES NEW MUSIC AND POTENTIAL WORLD DOMINATION
Nia Archives looks like someone who is set to take over the world, having all the ingredients for a full-on, proper star. Like, she’s grabbed drum ‘n’ bass by the lapels and shook it up the most since the day of, say, Roni Size and Goldie – ready to be a face for the genre. Well,…

REVIEW / NOAH KAHAN / THE GREAT DIVIDE
It always feels like it’s Autumn in Noah Kahan’s heart, which is no bad thing if you’re making the kind of music that sensitive souls feel nourished and supported by. And now, after becoming a gigantic star, he’s arrived at an album where he’s surely been asking some questions of himself. See, Kahan is a…

PREDICTING WHAT THE CHARLI XCX ROCK LP WILL SOUND LIKE
Charli XCX is making a rock album. She’s been pretty funny about her post-Brat moves, saying that she’s okay with it being a flop etc. In a Vogue interview – always good for a quote – she declared that “the dance floor is dead”, which of course it isn’t, but toward guitars she goes and…

NEW ALEX G, SADDOS!
Don’t be fooled by the headline – we’re not saying anyone is a saddo for liking Alex G – he makes perfectly good music for perfectly nice people. However, we have noticed that a number of his fans seem to be a little depressed and have made him their spokesperson, of a fashion. I wonder…
