WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
There’s something in the lizard bit of our brain that just loves a song that sounds like it should be played late and way too loud in a dive bar somewhere. These songs don’t need to reinvent the wheel – they need to be good, honest rock ‘n’ roll, whatever stripe of rock that is.…

Specifically, this version.

It seems that there’s a bit of a cottage industry around Drugdealer, where anyone related to them in any way is putting out sepia-toned ’70s pop, which is obviously a good thing. Are the returns a wholesale great thing? We dunno, but it’s always worth tuning in for honestly, given the strength of the second…

There’s been a study undertaken that could show how humans first started getting into music as a species, and we were into it first. The study suggests that Madagascan lemurs used music for a variety of purposes, which could give insight in how humans evolved into creating music, but we prefer the early stuff. Co-author…

Look, we don’t quite know what’s happening but we’ll share the news all the same. On Brian Wilson’s Instagram page, it basically says that coming this Friday, is ‘Ding Dang’. We had a little search on Google for ‘Brian Wilson Ding Dang’, and all it came up with was a link to his website which sadly…

Allegra Krieger is new to us, so we won’t pretend we know loads about her and just crib notes from other websites like we do. All we know is that there’s a new single out called ‘Never Arriving’ and its a kind of country tinged indie rock that sounds pretty cool. There’s been releases before,…

There’s going to be a final album from hyper-pop trailblazer SOPHIE, three years on from their untimely death. It’ll be an eponymous affair, and there’s a new song called ‘Reason Why’ which features Kim Petras and BC Kingdom. The album will be released on September 27th, and a statement from SOPHIE’s family reads: “When we,…

There’s always a danger with Kehlani that her brand of R&B reads too much Tumblr. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but her seam of through-thought can occasionally focus a little heavily on who she’s making eyes at, identity and poor decision making in love and lust. It’s a common complaint of R&B at large,…

We love the Coco & Clair Clair LP (we reviewed it here) for its hyper It Girl meanness and weird party vibe. Well, great news is that they’re back with a new single called ‘Aggy’ and they’re being all aloof and constantly online, but this time, the trap-lite beats have been replaced with a soft…

One of the finest albums ever recorded is available after years of being hidden away in the shape of the effortlessly wonderful eponymous album from Peru’s, We All Together. Originally released in 1972, featuring some beautiful Wings covers and a load of killer original material, the LP is the greatest Beatle-inspired cuts ever recorded, with…

THUNDERCAT + REMI WOLF
When you see Thundercat paired up with a popstar, you might assume it’s going to be a slinky R&B number with a rubbery bassline. Not so. Thundercat has teamed up with Remi Wolf for an absolutely batshit piece of jazz fusion that’s… and this is no surprise really… absolutely irresistible. Who else is this well…

WE LIKE STELLA DONNELLY
We haven’t heard of Stella Donnelly before, but it kinda doesn’t matter when you find someone, as long as you find ’em, right? And we tripped over this cute new video by Stella thanks to the YouTube algorithm. Algorithms – they’re useful occasionally, irritatingly. The track is called ‘Feel it Change’ and available everywhere you…

STYLE COUNCIL LIMITED VINYL
There’s been something of a reappraisal of the Style Council over the years, which has been really nice to see. Paul Weller’s post-Jam output is up there with his best work, there’s no doubt about that. With that, Universal Music are going to release some limited edition records, namely with a series of three limited…

NEW MELODY’S ECHO CHAMBER
El Michels Affair have been teaming up with some cool people, including Derya Yildirim & The Grip Simsek and now, Melody’s Echo Chamber. All record collector approved global beat, which is great news for all! Melody Prochet says of this collab that: “‘Daisy’ started as a daydream while listening to Leon’s finest music,” which is…
