WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The latest radio show we do is here. We do it every month and have listeners from all over the world, and when people tell us they’ve been listening, it keeps us going honestly. It is nice to put nice things into the world, and shine a light on records that might not get too

Aurora and Tom Rowlands from the Chemical Brothers have teamed up as Tomora, which means new music and some small shows, which is very fun! Aurora has collaborated with the Chems before, but this is a brand new project. The new record is coming out set for release on April 17th and is called ‘COME CLOSER’. “This

Record Store Day is not what it used to be, but whether it’s been overrun by the worst of the music biz, it still puts a lot of money in the tills of independent record shops, and that’s always a good thing, right? So, with that, let’s have a look at the releases that are

Adam Neely is one of the best essayists on music theory and music culture around today, and this week, he’s tackled the thorny issue of artificial intelligence. If you genuinely care about what comes next, have 90 minutes to spare, and want to know about tech capitalism, the links with fascist ideology, technology, why A.I.

Every so often, a band gets a tonne of interest from the chatter of the editorial classes that have their rent paid for them by their parents in extortionately expensive cities, and we all have to put up with it. While recessions ensure that culture springs up in the rest of a country, the would-be

The reappraisal of The Style Council has been a lovely thing to see, and now they’re getting the deluxe treatment on their records, that means previously unreleased gems are afoot. The album getting some love is ‘Cafe Blue’, and one of the treats from this expanded version is a longer version of the single ‘The

If you like your psychedelic music to be fuzzy and heavy, then you need to get on the new track from Earth Tongue. They’re going to release a new album – their third – and it is produced by Ty Segall. It will be called ‘Dungeon Vision’, and the track we’re sharing here is called

James Blake has returned with some new music, namely, the first single from the new album ‘Trying Times’, which is landing on shelves digital or otherwise on March 13th. The new song is called ‘Death of Love’, which he performs live in the new video for it. Look, with names like those, they’re not going
-
In all honesty, we don’t know much about the rapper who calls himself Sideshow, but we just heard a new track from them and we thought it was pretty interesting. Do you call it indie-hip hop? Whatever it is, it isn’t rage rap, trapcentric or a Golden Era throwback, which means he’s making music in

Did you see Aldous Harding post something on Instagram recently, about some tour dates, but couldn’t really read it because the colours were making your eyes go fizzy and the quality of the image was pretty bad? Well, don’t worry – we’ve written them all down so you don’t have to squint. She’s going on

SNAIL MAIL / DID YOU MISS ‘eM?
Lindsey Jordan – you’ll know her better as Snail Mail – has announced a new album which is called ‘Ricochet’, and again, there’s noisy ’90s-ish guitars and sweet melodies, and some mean eyed views. It’s cool stuff! At the foot of this article, you can hear a new song from the imminent LP, if you’re…

REVIEW / ASAP ROCKY / DON’T BE DUMB
We don’t necessarily look forward to an album from ASAP Rocky, per se, even if he is capable of occasional cool things. As part of the ASAP Mob, we always looked forward to Ferg’s macho bullshit, but whether you like it or not, Rocky was the star. ‘Goldie’ and ‘F***ing Problems’ were club hits, and…
