WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Hey! Weyes Blood makes terrific music and very cool music videos and there’s something new for you to look at! Now, it’s not a new track – it’s ‘Hearts Aglow’ from her excellent last LP – and looks like the cycle of this project is coming to a close, as the video reminisces about her…

You may have read that headline and assumed that we’d taken a massive blow to the back of the head. Alas, no. Y’see, Lin-Manuel Miranda seems like a genuinely nice fella and all, but he’s got that unswerving confidence and wide-eyed optimism that you only find in musical theatre kids from NYC. Add to that,…

Goat are Swedish, mysterious, and fucking amazing. A lot of modern psychedelic music focuses on one of two things – a) Hazy, pastoral music, b) Jam band fuzz wig-outs. Not Goat. They’re truly psychedelic in that they feel like they come from somewhere completely alien to the rest of us and dress the part while…

Flo Milli – purveyor of very fun shit – has a new album due, and to celebrate that fact, there’s a new track for you to listen to. Two things – 1. It’s called ‘Fruit Loop’; 2. The video looks like a pre-recorded SNL bit. With Ice Spice shaking her ass in the deli, and…

Remember we told you The Linda Lindas were bringing back fun punk? Well, they’re back again, but this time with something even heavier. And, mercifully, even more fun. When we say fun, we mean Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater fun. We want to load the second instalment of the game up with all the cheats loaded,…

Here we go! We’ve been needing hip hop to get a bit of a kick in the pants and this Jersey sound is just the thing to do it. With that, a new track that you need to get your lugs ’round. It’s by MCVERTT and features Sexxy Red and A$AP Ferg and called ‘Face…

Now that Daft Punk are a thing of the past, they’ve allowed some of their human side out with a look behind the scenes. A while ago, they shared some bits with Julian Casablancas that we can’t remember if we shared or not, and now, there’s more! They’re releasing a video series on YouTube called…

Even though Ride referred to their 1994 LP ‘Carnival of Light’ as “Carnival of Shite”, and being a departure from their usual jangle of noise and shoegaze, many fans regard it a lesser work. The Pop Corporation disagrees, and disagrees hard. You see, back in ’94, Britpop was kicking in and a number of groups…

Perhaps it’s testament to Outkast that any new genre-blurring rap group that emerges immediately makes us think of them. The latest group who are surely getting tickled with that brush are young hot-shots, Paris Texas. That’s nothing to do with the film of the same name, so calm down country boys. It appears that Paris…

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…
