WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Fans of drinking pints and classic Electro compilations – this is a niche but perfect article for you! For the 40th anniversary of the legendary comps, there’s some special beer being brewed, and boy, the whole thing is handsome and great. The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing

There’s a lot of doom-laden music knocking around at the moment. The magnificent and downright frightening Lankum have a new LP out and culty GOAT have been weirding everyone out again. Now, it’s the turn of Dorthia Cottrell who has a creeptacular psychedelic track out called ‘Harvester’. You assume this isn’t about filling your boots
-
These K-Pop bands are a massive, multi-million dollar business and on one hand, it’s great to see young pop fans getting into music that is spoken in something that isn’t English. However, there’s a big problem – what’s with all the Nazi stuff?! The most recent news concerns Chaeyoung who is a member of Twice.

If you asked ‘Missy who?’ after reading that headline, then maybe this isn’t the website for you. Anyway, there’s been a lot of noise around FLO this past year, and Pop Justice’s Peter Robinson is a fan and genuinely, that’s something you should always take notice of. They won a BRIT Award, so they’re absolutely

Initially, this article was just going to be a video of a very tired, very angry baby. We bailed on the idea, because that one time someone reviewed a Jet LP with nothing more than a video of a chimp drinking it’s own piss was effectively the pinnacle of that kind of thing, and has

BONGZILLA. Just read that name back. It’s great isn’t it? Read that on a festival line-up, and you’re taking notice aren’t you? Handily, it perfectly captures their sound too – thick, heavy doom psychedelic rock. They’ve got a new song out which does exactly what you want to it to, called ‘Hippie Stick’, and they’ll

Goat released a behemoth of an LP called ‘Oh Death’ much to everyone’s surprise, and now they’re surprising us all again with a new EP called ‘Seu Sangue’ (due out on April 14th, somewhat lessening the surprise when it actually drops). The EP will herald a tour of the UK (and other places) and it’s
-
The Chemical Brothers – there’s no-one quite like them. Weird, heady drug music, but still a boatload of fun. Well, they’re back with a new thing. In fact, it’s the first new thing since 2021, which is nice. As ever, they’re back with a very heady drug video (that’s still a boatload of fun) and

We’ve heard people raving about Lankum, and like all nosey parkers, we wanted to know what was going on to see if we would find a new band we liked, and at worst, not like them and generally be dismissive of other people’s music tastes and bemoan the state of it all. Good news! This

We love Alison Goldfrapp – she can veer from witchy folkie wonderfulness, to synthpop glam dominatrix – and now she’s back, and this time, she’s eyeing up the dancefloor. The new track is called ‘So Hard So Hot’ and she said: “I wanted to do something that had that very clubby, acid-y feeling to it,

REVIEW / BICHE / B.I.C.H.E.
It may have been released in February, but the chances of English readers being all. Over Biche’s magnificent album are slim, and an album doesn’t need to be fresh off the grill to get excited about. Fact is, it’s so hard to make original music in 2025, that when a band arrives that sound like…

RIP, JAMES LOWE OF ELECTRIC PRUNES
For fans of ’60s psychedelic rock, the Electric Prunes were always one of the more unique and brilliant groups. Their ‘Underground’ LP captured the eeriness of the West Coast counter-culture scene of the time, and their music endured. From ‘Get Me To The World On Time’ and ‘I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night’,…

NEW GEM FROM CHEAPSKATE
We have waxed lyrical about the music of Cheapskate before, and with the new single, we’re going to do it all over again. Cheapskate’s music is everything that you love about noirish Brit jazz, ’70s library music and now, with all the sun-soaked bliss of Mediterranean funk and analogue synth bits. ‘The Sea’ is smooth…

10 SONGS WITH / ANDREA PAVLOVIC
The term ‘scream queen’ gets thrown around a lot, and often semi-unfairly – but there’s no denying the fact that anyone who stumbled out of seeing ‘In A Violent Nature’ knew that, in Andrea Pavlovic, there was a real talent afoot. The emotional maturity which she met such a grisly task, it isn’t surprising that…
