WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Our latest radio show is up and available to listen to. It doesn’t matter if you’re signed up for Mixcloud, we think. Anyone can listen, and as ever, it’ll be up for a couple of months so you can listen at your leisure. Anyway, here’s the show itself so you don’t have to search for…

Hayley Williams released some music for free on her website, hidden behind a password, then everyone shared the password, and they disappeared, only to reappear on streaming services as singles. Genuinely, it’s all be very fun and off-the-cuff, and a neat change from the rigmarole of incessant album cycles, eras, and seeded promo work. This…

Without a note being played, ‘Man’s Best Friend’ had annoyed half the internet thanks to the cover artwork. We’re not here for that, because in Sabrina Carpenter, we’ve got a popstar that’s remember that glittery, camp fun is a thing to rejoice. That’s not to say Carpenter lacks substance, but rather, reading too much into…

Hannah Jadagu is new to us, but never mind all that – we really like her new single called ‘Doing Now’, and you might really like it too! The track will appear on new album – ‘Describe’ – which we can hear in full in October, and released on the mighty Sub Pop, which is…
-
The impact of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ is about as large as sound appearing in movies and TV turning into colour. It’s the song that booted the doors open for rock music. A swirling, technicolour, brain melter of a track, it used tape loops and brilliant imagination to usher in The Beatles psychedelic period, and even…

Remember when the United States of America wasn’t nearly as difficult to look at. Obama was president and while guilty of some Politician Shit, at least he seemed capable, wore the title with a sense of responsibility, and could go for weeks without making any scandalous headlines. Back then, Donald Trump was a noisy conspiracy…

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 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…

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…

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…

AUTOMATIC SYNTH BOP
Not THE Automatic – this is just Automatic. This lot are from Los Angeles and are signed to Stones Throw. They have a new single out which we think you’ll like. The new song is taken from forthcoming album ‘Is It Now?’, which you’ll be able to hear in full on September 26th from the…

NOURISHED BY TIME’S GENRE SHIFTING GEM
We’re kinda not sure what music is being made by Nourished by Time, and honestly, that’s a good thing in the year of our lord, 2025. It’s so easy to get tripped up by genres, and here, we’ve got a song that has an applaudable free spirit. It’s not pop, it’s not freestyle, it’s not…

HAYLEY WILLIAMS DROPS MUSIC
Everyone was scrabbling around looking for a password so they could hear Hayley Williams’ new music, we found it, nearly published it before it transpired that she’d removed all the music from her website. What a palaver. Well, good news is that she’s officially released the 17 songs for everyone to hear so we don’t…

DARK DISCO FROM GANSER
Honestly, if a group is dubbed ‘post punk’, there’s a good chance we’ll swerve it as we’re over it already. However, there’s no denying there’s some cool bands that have been called such things, and we’ve got a new track from Ganser which is very good indeed. From Chicago, they’ve got a new song called…
