WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Georgia has been putting out fun stuff for a while, but the new one is really really getting out shoes squeaking! It’s a housey, electro-ish slice of pop going by the name of ‘Be Free’, and the video is a day glo kids TV affair, which is super fun too. The songs details Georgia’s sobriety,

Are we all excited for the revamped version of The Beatles Anthology? There’s been a drip feed of songs that’ll appear on the additional Anthology 4 album, but it’s the TV show we’re most thrilled for. People of a certain age will remember the original Anthology documentaries, and some will have their DVD copies and

Tchotchke are one of the finest groups on the planet right now, and have had a run of albums that are as wonderful as they are unique. Mixing cute-as-a-button pop with tough ’60s girl group beat and dreamy psychedelia, the girls have a new album out – ‘Playin’ Dumb’ – which had us ranting and
-
There’s a lot of talk about the volume of languages and how much of a 180 ‘Lux’ is compared to Rosalia’s last LP, ‘MOTOMAMI’, so we’re going to swerve all that and just look at it for what it is, what it sounds like, and how it makes us feel. Of course, context is important

Bill Callahan’s lovely deep, soulful voice is back to grace your ears with the announcement of a new album. It’ll be called ‘My Days of 58’ and you’ll be able to hear the whole thing early next year on February 27th. Here’s the first song from it and it sounds exactly like you want a

The first trailer for the Michael Jackson biopic has dropped. The film is called ‘Michael’, which worries us slightly as it suggests it’s all going to be a little too kind and not gnarly enough to be a meaty movie. In addition to that, Jackson is being played by his nephew Jaafar, which again, suggests

De La Soul have a new album coming out and it goes by the name of ‘Cabin in the Sky’, and for those of you Daisy Agers who can’t wait to see if the boys have still got it, you can listen to a song from it below. The newbie is called ‘The Package’, and
-
Any musician who has uploaded their music to Spotify as an independent artist knows how futile it all is, expecting to end up on any of the editorial lists made by the company, which help push songs to millions of people using their front page. The fact is, if you don’t have the connections through

After his father bought a mine in Tucson, Arizona, Joseph Byrd grew up and found himself drawn to music. Initially, it was vibraphone and accordion in pop groups, he soon branched out into local TV arrangements and college jazz combos. A talented kid, he found himself in a fellowship at Stanford, where he rubbed shoulders

You may know Daniel Avery for his smart techno music, but there’s more strings to his bow than thunderous beats and brain frazzling synths. To show that, he’s done a really nice shoegaze mix which is perfect for transporting you out of the gloomy weather at the tail end of 2025. While this mix may

ROCHELLE JORDAN DOES IT AGAIN
Rochelle Jordan is one of the best artists around and she keeps releasing great music to underline how great she is. The singles that have preceded the imminent album have all been excellent and the new one is doing bits too. The new track is called ‘Doing It Too’, taken from the sure-to-be brilliant album ‘Through…

ZERO DOLLARS FOR A GIG
One of the tried and tested answers to the lack of money bands get from streaming is ‘play more shows’, under the assumption that gigs are the last vestige of earning for any small group out there. Of course, there’s a raft of costs involved in travelling with a show and touring is not cheap.…

KING GIZ VS SPOTIFY
Another day, another band leaving Spotify. If this is a sign of things to come, it’s worth pointing out that this is very embryonic at the moment, with most artists remaining on the service – but there does seem to be something in the air. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are the latest group…

DYLAN SINGS MASTERS OF WAR
Bob Dylan is pretty tight-lipped mostly, and when answering questions, prefers to be on the side of cryptic. It is fair to say that he’d rather let his music do the talking, which is probably why fans read so much into his songs. With that, for the first time in years, he’s opened his set…
