WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

  • PIKES SAYS PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY

    Phones eh? They’re responsible for that fun gig you watched on YouTube for a band that never played in the country you live in. They’re responsible for that video where someone lost their shit on stage and made the news, and now we all got to see it rather than relying on someone’s word for…

With a mix of bossa, samba and psych, Dora’s music has showcased her to be one of the most exciting new Brazilian artists in the scene. The new album is called ‘Pique’ and…

  • FLO STILL CARRYING THE GIRL GROUP TORCH

    Outside of Japan and Korea, everything is a little bit Solo Artist, so it’s lovely to see the flame of girl groups still being carried by FLO who have been doing good bits for a while now with their brand of R&B infused pop music. They recently shared their new track ‘Check’ which they have…

  • DID RAP ROCK EVER NOT SUCK?

    We appreciate that some people like it when rock and rap mix. There’s no accounting for taste and all that, but the nadir of the late ’90s and early ’00s when Woodstock went from a peace and love festival and turned into an awful frat house party filled with rap-rock groups shows just how dismal…

  • BRITNEY BIOPIC

    Britney Spears has, shall we say, had a very full life. It hasn’t all been peaches and cream, which means news that her life will be getting the biopic treatment is tentatively good news. We say it tentatively because not all biopics are good, but we are 100% rooting for this one because we think…

  • SUBSCRIPTION FATIGUE CONTINUES

    It all felt somewhat inevitable that young people would look at the streaming model and wonder why they didn’t have anything to show for their money. Obviously, the convenience of having most of the world’s music in your pocket is a miracle of a thing, but when you look around your room or your house…

  • THE WARRIORS AND LIN MANUEL

    Look, the rap musical Hamilton was awful. You don’t need to point out how successful it has been, how Lin Manuel Miranda is probably a nice guy, or even how much you liked it – it stunk. One dimensional rapping over old-head beats performed by a cast portraying a bunch of racist white dudes who…

  • TG.BLK KENYAN RAP R&B IS GREAT

    We were reading about tg.blk over at another site and liked what we heard. Instead of hoarding this information to ourselves, we thought we would share it here, because that’s what good people do. Seriously – stop hoarding music to yourself – nobody wins when you do that. tg.blk have a new six track EP…

  • DOECHII NEW ONE SLAPS

    Doechii has called herself a number of things over the years – the one we like best is “the trap Grace Jones” – and if that’s piqued your interest, shall we get onto the lovely business of a new record to listen to? She’s got a new one out called ‘Nissan Altima’, which to the…

  • UPPERS ONLY FROM CONFIDENCE MAN (AGAIN)

    It is kinda funny that Charli XCX announced BRAT SUMMER when Confidence Man have been acting up for ages now, sneering and partying like the world might end tomorrow. With that, they’ve got a new song out called ‘SO WHAT’ which is the usual mixture of pouting and hedonism which is difficult to pull off…

STOP HOARDING TUNES


  • ALDOUS HARDING’S NEW ONE IS FUCKING BRILLIANT

    If you know Aldous Harding, you probably already love her and that headline is of absolutely zero surprise to you. That said, this won’t stop us from getting all excited about new music and sharing it. This new one is a gorgeous piece of music that drops into a lovely little groove and we don’t…

  • MORE FROM GREEN-HOUSE / THE ALBUM IS SHAPING UP NICELY

    We’ve featured Green-House on our pages a couple of times now, and we’re thrilled to share even more music as we’re completely rapt. They have a new album coming out on Ghostly International and to celebrate that, a second single has been issued which we’re completely in love with called ‘Under The Oak’. The new…

  • HOLY GRAIL SOUL SHOW FROM 1970

    Things appear online and you just have to admire people’s ability to find stuff and share it with everyone without wanting recompense. Here then, we have one of the finest videos we’ve seen – a funk, gospel and soul revue from 1970 which stars Tina Turner, Five Stairsteps, Edwin Hawkins Singers, The Isley Brothers, The…

  • FOUR TET X PINK PANTHERESS

    We are big fans of PinkPantheress here, and her album ‘Fancy That’ has rightly got a shedload of plaudits and enthusiasts. And then came the remixes, which were also a whole load of fun too! Well, now there’s a Four Tet remix which is a energetic little affair and not two artists we’d immediately put…
