WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Did you know Mac DeMarco has a new LP out? And did you know it has 199 songs on it? What’s he like eh, the daft sausage. He’s a charming bugger, so instead of being wordy and worthy, we figured we’d let him do the hard work and we’d just share a video where he
-
Remember we wrote about the price of tickets and the wrath of pop fans? Well, seeing as “ticketmaster” has been trending on Twitter for around 4 months solidly this year, it’s obviously not a topic that is likely to cool any time soon. And we’re chucking some more kindling on the fire, because it’s worth
-
Siouxsie Sioux does seem cooler than all the other UK punk survivors put together, doesn’t she? Then again, the goths have put a claim in for her as theirs too, but whatever. After a hiatus away from the stage, she’s back and we’re stealing someone’s footage to show you, in case you want to see
-
Here’s a new song called ‘Deceiver’ by Claire Rousay and Helena Deland. It’s released on Mexican Summer who, largely speaking, are a record label you can trust. It’s always worth listening to something if it’s released on Mexican Summer. They’ve put out music by Weyes Blood, Cate Le Bon, Best Coast, Kurt Vile, Connan Mockasin,
-
What a great thing to have a band name like Alogte Oho & His Sounds of Joy. Who are they? They’re about to make your day a whole lot better. They’re a group from Ghana who make uplifting, brassy Afrobeat and it does exactly what it says on the tin – it’s filled with joy.

One of the UK’s finest soul singers, lovely Linda Lewis, has sadly died. To many, this may be a new name so let us fill you in as tribute and introduce you to some wonderful music in the meantime. Lewis got a break performing with John Lee Hooker, and was courted by Bowie, Rod Stewart,
-
If you know Adrian Flanagan, you’ll know he’s behind a whole bunch of great music stuff, including The International Teachers of Pop, The Moonlandingz, The Chanteuse & The Crippled Claw and more. Look him up. You’ll have a lovely time. Anyway, at the minute, he’s doing the Acid Klaus thing and there’s a new song
-
When The Weeknd came back with a sort of New Wave angle on his pop-R&B, everyone went nuts, as well as his face. He was making a point about celebrity culture or something, we forget. Well, keep that in mind when you’re listening to the new and very excellent track from Fireboy DML. It’s called
-
Nick Cave eh? Like, he’s really loved. Not everyone loves him of course – who is entirely loved? Certain pockets of the internet have turned on David Attenborough, so y’know, who stands a chance? Anyway, we’re not that bothered about Nick Cave’s music so we’re not going to try and cancel him here (over his
-
Like futuristic music? Like jazz? Well, LA’s High Pulp may well have just the thing for you with their new track called ‘(If You Don’t Leave) The City Will Kill You’. Optimistic title, that. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Days In The Desert’ in July. They’re a collective so there’s loads of

WATCH BRIAN WILSON BEING HAPPY
We’d need to dedicate a thousand words to the influence, genius, and all round wonder that is Brian Wilson, to pay tribute to him now he’s passed. However, we feel that right now, it’s better to watch Brian being really happy, performing the Smile suite with a band that loves the material as much as…

REVIEW / MILEY CYRUS / SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
When an artist makes certain demands to be taken seriously, more often than not, the knives come out. It may be unfair that the landscape of music journalism can praise one artist for having lofty ambitions, while deriding another for the same thing, but that’s always been the way. We find ourselves with Miley’s new…

RIP, SLY STONE
Sly Stone has left the building, leaving behind a life and a career that eclipses most of what everyone else managed to cram in, combined. Seemingly against the odds, he managed to reach the grand old age of 82. His family issued a statement. “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of…

KING PRINCESS, UNHINGED
King Princess has announced a new LP called ‘Girl Violence’ and for the kind of fans who like saying that someone’s got them in a chokehold and hipsters who want to yelp parental yelps, this new stuff is going to do the trick by the looks of things. The album is out in September, and…
