WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Okay, it’s not quite new Metronomy, but we had to hook you in somehow. What we have here is a super fun remix of a Metronomy track from 1-800 GIRLS, which sounds like it should start cropping up on the dancefloors around the place, all things being fair. This is a remix of ‘Salted Caramel…

One of our favourite things is a notification on a new release from DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ – from swirling house, to robo-teen drama pop, to an almost Boards of Canada-esque way of creating music that feels both alien and familiar, DJSTTDJ is always worth tuning into. The reference points in the music are…

Everyone’s an Oasis fan these days, now they’ve got back together and either reminded people with greying sides of the summers of their youth, or indeed, giving the young ‘ins a chance to see what the Gallagher brothers are like on stage. Of course, not literally everybody is an Oasis fan and – this writer…

It’s been well over a decade since we last got to look forward to a new full release from Clipse, and here we are in 2025 with ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ – with the pair backed by Pharrell and a host of high quality features, for a release that barely needed any publicity push.…

Spies, the Falklands war, Thatcher, Reagan, and a punk band splicing tapes to create a storm to live up to their anarcho legend. If you haven’t heard the story of how Crass caused huge trouble for right wing authoritarian during the Cold War, you need to get on this video right now. Press play.

You may know Gulp via your love of the Super Furry Animals. While SFA seem to be on an indefinite hiatus, the assorted members have released solo records, Das Koolies music and, in the shape of Guto Pryce, his Gulp work with Lindsey Leven is probably as good as anything for Furryworld. Channelling German prog,…

Anyone with an interest in music already knows about John Peel, his influence on alternative music and how he dedicated his life to breaking new tunes. Well, there’s a cool auction of some of his records, and predictably there’s a lot of cool stuff and rarities in there. There’s psychedelic records, some great post punk…

Mac DeMarco fans are a pretty devoted bunch, so inevitably they know that their fave lil guy has a new song out called ‘Home’. For the rest of you, you may have missed this sneak release. It’s a bruised, lovely little song and the video features ol’ Mac canoeing, which is kinda cool. Press play.

Eiko Ishibashi is a Japanese singer-songwriter, and Jim O’Rourke is related to loads of US experimentalists. This pair have collaborated before, and they’re at it again with an improvisational affair which is super pleasing. They toured Europe in ’23 and some of these improvs have been tracked down into an album called ‘Pareidolia’. This is…

If you like your rock and pop to have the piano pushed up to the front, then you might like the new song from Oberbaum, which is the moniker of Belgian Lucie Rezsöhaz. ‘Solitude’ is taken from a new album which goes by the name of ‘I Should Be Softer’. You’ll be able to hear…

FREE RANGE NOV 25
Hello there. We remembered that listeners of our related radio show – FREE RANGE – might like to read the tracklisting for the show, instead of just listening to the words being pronounced badly throughout it. It’s the last show of the year before the round-up of 2025’s best music, so the last time where…

SURPRISE NEW NONAME TRACK!
We’re big fans of NONAME who is someone who absolutely marches to the beat of her own drum, and she’s at it again with a surprise new track! Called ‘Hundred Acres’, it appeared on the algorithm which did its job for once, and as you’d expect, it’s smart as hell, funky, irresistible chorus, and is…

LANKUM WITH A HALLOWEEN TREAT
If you’ve heard ‘Dig My Grave’ by Lankum, you’re probably still a but spun out by it (or thunderously turned on if that’s you’re thing) and it’s gothic bedlam. Well, they’re at it again with a little treat for Halloween (and the general state of the world, sadly) with a unique take on ‘Ghost Town’…
