WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Allegra Krieger has a new album out called ‘Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine’, and you’ll be able to hear that tomorrow in fact! Below is the final single that preempts it, and it’s really cool. We really liked another single she released in the build-up to this – here – which was a neat…

The presidential race in the USA has a lot hanging on it, for sure, but regardless of that, the whole thing has made for some really good TV. It always does, because one thing the Americans love, is making great television. A thick line has been drawn and either side of it stand two candidates…

A lovely little Detroit one-two here from Babyface Ray, featuring Veeze. Babyface has a new album this week called ‘The Kid That Did’ which we’re looking forward to hearing. In advance, you can listen to ‘Wavy Navy University’, which is a psychedelic take on trap-hop. Big Sean, Pusha T and G Herbo count themselves as…

MUNA are great, have had a number of hot songs, and with that, have seen their popularity rightly grow. The group’s identity have seen them filling a hole in pop culture which has seen a pocket of fans feeling incredibly seen by them, to use the common parlance of the youth. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns…

If you’re in the market for some seriously fun indie fuzz pop, then you will like the new song from Swedish group Girl Scout, who just so happen to have told everyone that they’ve got a new EP coming out. The EP is called ‘Headache’ and it’ll be out in November (where did the year…

Once upon a time in the days of black and white and the British pound being split up into unfathomable fractions, fans of football teams would clap and twirl their rattles, cheering on their favourite football team and having a pint or six, with a hard luck to or from the opposing fanbase. Something changed…

Kendrick is doing the Super Bowl in February 2025. Now, two things – does this basically confirm a new album is going to be released before the year is out? And also, are we going to hear an entire stadium shouting “A MINNNNOOOOOOR” at Drake on the biggest televised event in the world during that…

We’re not really into the whole post-punk, long anorak, well-read indie music stuff on these pages. We’re not saying that it is a bad thing, rather, just letting you know that with these things, we’re an unreliable source. And so to Black Midi who were the darlings of lads in cherry red Doc Martens, gloomy…

Funny what people turn into films these days. The latest to surprise us (not unpleasantly, mind) is the movie about indie slacker kings, Pavement. It is called ‘Pavements’ and directed by Alex Ross Perry who we don’t know, but we’re going to assume they love a trucker cap and a plaid shirt and some beat…

In record collector circles, Dorothy Carter is a big ticket and her ‘Troubadour’ LP is the stuff of legend. Originally released back in 1976, it was a pioneering and unique work and linked up folk with other-worldly avant-garde behaviours. It’s a wild and beautiful body of work. She studied formally before finding herself in a…

MORE GOOD STUFF FROM AUTOMATIC
We wrote about the last Automatic release because it was pretty awesome, and now there’s a newer one that’s making us think that we need to keep them in mind, as the next LP might be a total winner. The newest song is called ‘Lazy’ and like the last one, it has a super fun…

KEIYAA’S LUXURIOUS R&B
keiyaA is a new artist to us, but we gather a previous release was called ‘Camille’s Daughter’, and got decent reviews. Well, this is the first new music since then, and it is one of the most luxurious, rich R&B tracks we’ve heard in ages. The new song goes by the title ‘Stupid Prizes’ and…

REVIEWING FUNERAL SONGS
Choosing what music you’d have played at your funeral is a fun game, if you’re the kind of person who likes making arbitrary lists of tunes while you’re sat on the sofa or down the pub. If you’re reading about music for no good reason, chances are you’re one of those people. So what do…

TATYANA WITH A NEW HOUSE BANGER
We wrote a love letter to Tatyana’s album and redux, because frankly, there’s other artists getting their flowers when she was basically in there first. Not everyone has major label promo money, so it’s important we yell about the great music she’s releasing. Thankfully, she keeps putting out cool stuff, and now there’s ‘Overdue’ which…
