WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Wolf Alice have covered The Roches’ absolutely legendary ’79 acid-folk gem ‘Hammond Song’, for an imminent project and, all things being fair, we’re including both versions here, in case you haven’t heard the original. First thing’s first, here’s the Roches version which is the kind of song that will have you feel like you’re floating…
-
Tom Waits made a surprising return with Massive Attack lately on a track called ‘Boots On The Ground’, which made for an intense, insular listen about some of the global bullshit going on at the minute. Well, he’s back some more, releasing the full version of his spoken-word track ‘The Fly’, which of course, you…
-
Flo Milli is going to release her fourth LP later this year, and to tease the release of course, there’s a new song to listen to. The album is called ‘FloState’ (that’s neat) and it’ll be on Jive. There’s no firm details on it just yet, but there’s a new psychedelic, syrupy number to listen…
-
You’ve probably heard by now, that there’s a fancy, deluxe version of ‘Rubber Soul’ by The Beatles coming out, right? While we could slavishly cut and paste the tracklistings for the various discs to pad out the word count for this article like most publications have, we’ll assume you’ve got the wherewithal to find out…
-
What do you know about Sylvan Esso? We don’t know anything about them, but the algorithm did its job for once and gave us this new song from them. They’re a duo, it’s a pretty nice song that has a whiff of trip hop about it, but not entirely, with a catchy nursery rhyme melody…
-
We’ve written about the Womack Sisters a couple of times now, and we’ve getting more excited every time they release another song, and now it’s getting silly. This brand new track now puts them in the ‘highly anticipated’ section of our hearts for any album that’s due! Smoking hot soul music with the kinds of…

Noname is a unique voice in music at the minute (complimentary) and she’s back with a new track which is on a topic we’re not sure we’ve heard before. She’s telling the tale – along with the ever lovely Dram – of a squatter moving into her house while she was away on tour. This…
-
If you like bubbling analogue synthesisers and bucolic loveliness, then you absolutely need to get on the new track from Bibio and Dorian Concept. It’s called ‘Shame’ and we don’t know a whole lot more about it than what we’ve listened to, but honestly, you can enjoy it for what it is. Gorgeous.
-
Unreleased Prince music is always exciting, and as anyone knows, there’s a metric tonne of it in the Paisley Park vaults. Prince was a prolific man, and then some. Well, there’s a new leak out, of a gorgeous, smooth jam which would have appeared on his debut LP (we think) called ‘Whenever’ that’s appeared online.…
-
Power Pop never really went away, as everyone with any sense about them likes pure pop coupled with jangly guitars. That said, there seems to be something of a resurgence afoot, and that’s good news for us at least – and should be for you too. And so, to this new track from Kiwi Jr…

RARE EARLY BOWIE DUE
Before he transformed himself into Ziggy Stardust and took over the alternative rock scene, David Bowie was trying to position himself as a mod-face about town, making beat records in tight trousers. Well, these years (which produced some serviceable work, honestly) are being looked at on a new set which will be released on September…

REVIEW / NIA ARCHIVES / EMOTIONAL JUNGLIST
The problem with drum ‘n’ bass albums is that, if you only like the genre to a certain point – or solely on a night out, dancing communally with others – they can wear a bit thin quite quickly. That’s why, when someone makes a breakout, crossover record, they have to cast their net a…

ALL SET FOR NEW GAYANCE LP
Gayance is a huge favourite of ours, and the last album she released is still firmly on our turntable. ‘Mascarade’ married house with R&B, jazz fusion and all your favourite styles of music, in one unique and irresistible package. If you want to read a review of the album, you can do that here. With…

CORNERSHOP BACK WITH ANOTHER BANGER
Cornershop are a true treasure from the British Isles, reminding us that music can be every bit as fun as it is important. You can make a point and take some jabs at dickheads while still putting a big smile on everyone’s faces, right? Either way, Leicester’s finest have a new track out which marries…
