WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
You don’t have to speak the language to love a style of music. Maybe you are fluent in French, but no matter, because the fact is that Algeria’s Raï music is some of the most joyous and brilliant stuff ever recorded. It is a form of Algerian folk that kicked off in the ’20s and…

Remember how good ‘Pharaohs’ was by SBTRKT? Well, good news, they’re back soon and will have a new LP out called ‘The Rat Road’ on May 5th. In a note: “This album has been my most sonically ambitious record to create – following my own musical path – which isn’t based on others’ perceptions of…

Here’s the tracklist for the latest FREE RANGE radio show which you can hear over on Mixcloud. Click here for the most recent shows and some of the archive of mixes. Below is the newest show 1 VELMA PERKINS YES MY GOODNESS YES 2 JOHN BERBERIAN & THE ROCK EAST ENSEMBLE THE OUD & THE…

The supergroup made up of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker are pretty famous these days. Famous enough that we really don’t need to tell you anything about them. Click below and have a listen to their new song called ‘Not Strong Enough’.

As people get older, many just give up. They’re just not as curious about music as they once where. They fall back into familiar albums and even with the advent of Spotify and music never being so simple to explore, they just bed down into the LPs of their youth like elderly rodents in hay.…

Everyone ought to know by now that Bob Stanley is one of the finest custodians of popular music, being a member of the mighty St Etienne, but also, writer of countless wonderful words about it and putting out so many dynamite compilations – he really has become a national treasure for music geeks, and we’re…
-
Festivals are pretty terrible things, but y’know, people enjoy them so it’s whatever. Kinda cool to watch live music on TV too, so we suppose it’s a net-plus. Anyway, the most lifestyley festival on the UK circuit is Glastonbury and they’ve confirmed some stuff and put a poster out. The main takeaway is that Guns…

David Bowie – a man with regrettably few decent haircuts in such a long and industrious career – is looking like returning from the dead, and starring in a new show that’s like the ABBA Voyage one. Is it virtual reality? It’s not a hologram. You know what we mean. Either way, you’ve got to…

Chaka Khan has taken the gloves off and thrown immense shade at Mariah Carey and Adele. Now, if you’re visiting from some awful stan account or the point of view of a MEGA FAN, then go away already. See, this is pop music. We’re hear to have fun. We’re hear to enjoy the cattiness. Someone…

They’re a Japanese psychedelic band and based in Montreal and they’re called TEKE:TEKE and if that isn’t one of the most flatly factual openings to an article, we don’t know what is. Anyway, not to say we aren’t excited by this new song by them called ‘Garakuta’ – a fried, fuzz wig-out and is delightfully…

KING GIZ VS SPOTIFY
Another day, another band leaving Spotify. If this is a sign of things to come, it’s worth pointing out that this is very embryonic at the moment, with most artists remaining on the service – but there does seem to be something in the air. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are the latest group…

DYLAN SINGS MASTERS OF WAR
Bob Dylan is pretty tight-lipped mostly, and when answering questions, prefers to be on the side of cryptic. It is fair to say that he’d rather let his music do the talking, which is probably why fans read so much into his songs. With that, for the first time in years, he’s opened his set…
-
WOLF ALICE GO PSYCH
It is fair to say that Wolf Alice’s new album is pretty keenly anticipated, and they’ve got a new song out which is only going to add to any excitement from their fans. In fact, we’d suggest that the latest one might be the pick of the crop. It’s called ‘White Horses’ and it’s a…

DISCLOSURE + ANDERSON PAAK
Disclosure are always a whole load of fun when they’re collaborating with guest vocalists, and now they’ve dropped a track with Anderson Paak, which makes a lot of sense and we’re surprised it hasn’t happened before. With that in mind, it seems like this one has been on the boiler for a while. The group…
