WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The Chemical Brothers are saying ‘Goodbye’. Not forever, mind you. It’s the name of their new single and as ever, it’s got a really fancy, psychedelic video. They always have ace visuals don’t they? If you’ve seen them live recently, your eyeballs are probably still fizzing like Alka Seltzer in soup. Great craic. There’s also an…

Mildlife are an Australian band designed for dancing too. However, it’s also very much music of the head too, as they’ve been dubbed variously as ‘psychedelic jazz fusion’ and ‘prog disco’. If both of those phrases gave you a bit of the ick, don’t worry – this track you’re about to hear is cool, cool shit.…
-
Maybe we should know who Fever Ray are, but we don’t. Judging by this new thing we’ve just listened to, we’re still not sure because it’s a remix. And what a banger of a remix it is! The track is called ‘Even It Out’ and it s a rejig by Frost Children, and it’s a…

You remember Steve Mason from the Beta Band right? He’s always up to something. The latest is getting Mancunian rapper OneDa to rework his ‘Moss Side Fish Fry’, and it’s a elastic bass synth gem, honestly. OneDa says: “I approached this track as I would do a spoken word piece, using my verses in a…

We’ve spoken quite a bit about the last Beatles recording and it’s finally here and available to listen to it. Very bittersweet experience in all honestly. It’s age appropriate too, so don’t be expecting any 808s or dirty wub wubs. A touching final chapter to the greatest band to ever do it.

For so many years, library music was only a thing that tapped people’s toes if they were absentmindedly watching TV, as it soundtracked incidental moments on shows and whatnot. However, nerds started valuing the complex pop-jazz moments, the ambient segues, and more. Soon enough, library music was having a renaissance. Matt Berry (who seems to…

We’re very sentimental and excited about the ‘Now And Then’ release that’s due from The Beatles. It’s all very bittersweet, given that it’s the ‘last recording’ they’ll do. A short film with snippets from the isolated vocal, strings, pop vox from the family and surviving members and… …stop reading this and just press play already.…

Want to get away for a holiday and need some impetus to get organised and booking something? Well, if you live in a major city, the following is the dates Liam Gallagher is playing and your local will be filled with lads with bad feathered hair cuts, wearing gazelles and waddling around with their feet…

What’s funny about MGMT is that they’ve managed to annoy a whole host of people and not really done anything to warrant it. Kid Cudi likes them enough to jump on stage with them while full of acid, so they’ve got that in their favour. Maybe they’ve got annoying fans? We genuinely don’t know. Anyway,…

Want a cool Halloween mix that swerves the usual stuff (not that there’s anything wrong with the usual stuff) and has a bit more fuzz and bite? Good news! Here’s a fun garagey, fuzzy, occasionally camp mix of creeptacular tunes for your Halloween party (or if you’re looking for a creepy journey home from work…

IBEYI’S FRENCH CUBAN GEM
We don’t know too much about Ibeyi, other than they’re dubbed as ‘French-Cuban’, which is a dynamite pair of musical cultures to collide into each other, if you ask us. And on the strength of the song we just heard, well worth keeping an eye on! They have a new LP coming out called ‘Offering’…

JORJA SMITH DOES IT AGAIN
When Jorja Smith is in the mood, there’s few people who can make dancefloor ready music quite like her. She is truly the best of all things British music, and with her new single, she’s gone and done it again. She is, apparently, entering a ‘new chapter’, which we’ll no doubt hear more about in…

REVIEW / DRAKE’S THREE ALBUMS THAT DROPPED ON THE SAME DAY
Are you kidding? That’s too much music for one sitting. That’s too many songs at the same time to wade through. That’s like, a million tracks or something. There’s other music that needs listening to as well, right? So, with that, let us simply guess what’s contained within these THREE albums all released at exactly…

NAMASENDA FUTURE R&B
Sometimes, we give you the tip-off as we stumble into it, rather than hoarding it while we form an opinion – it is sometimes better to just yell ‘Hey! Check this out! This might be cool and we should all find out together!’ With that, we just listened to ‘Cola’ by Namasenda who is apparently…
