WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
The price of things are going up, but wages aren’t. It’s a thing that always happens when anyone in any position of power naively believes in trickle down economics. The fact is – and we all know this – rich folk like hoarding their money or spending it on themselves. Add a host of other…

You are 100% supposed to have heard about every single band at all times and every new release and if you don’t I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD OF THEM! Of course, that’s nonsense. We just heard about a band from Maastricht called YIN YIN. They’re great. Psychedelic, danceable, very fun indeed. Bet they’re cool…

The headline is the message. Have a good one. Drink too much and be lazy. Got any Rennies? Love you x

DJing is hard. For most DJs, there’s no security and a host of very drunk people telling you that they would like you to play something else. You do 5 or 6 hour sets and your knees and back hurt. There’s no groupies, because everyone’s getting off with everyone else while you’re stood in a…

It’s a terrible state of affairs trying to keep your pages fresh with new content, so sometimes, what you have to do is write about literally nothing. That’s exactly what we’re doing here. Don’t complain about feeling short-changed, because we were upfront about this fact. We were upfront about it in the opening paragraph and,…

Mac DeMarco is kinda back. He’s been away you see, after the success of his last LP ‘Here Comes The Cowboy’. That’s what it was called wasn’t it? Pretty sure it was. Anyway, he just wanted to get in the festive mood and remind us that he existed, so he’s knocked out a video for…

Have you heard about ‘Nepo Babies’? It’s not really the best of names for the people who have had a leg-up in their careers thanks to having a famous parent or two (nepotism babies, geddit?), but honestly, you’re not getting any better alternatives here unless something pops into our head while we’re writing this article…

There’s few things as satisfying as Pusha T saying ‘YERGHK!’ in a track. He’s a venomous MC alright and sharp as a tack. He’s also quite the businessman, coming up with the ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ for McDonald’s and also, heading up the G.O.O.D. Music label. Of course, that’d be Kanye West’s record label there. Now,…

It is an unlikely pairing, but Timmy Mallett (yep, that very same one) has unveiled a never-heard-before mix (at least in digital form) of Terry Hall presenting a radio show of songs that mean a great deal to him. Mallett was a DJ on Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio and had a show where he allowed pop…

NIA ARCHIVES VS JORJA SMITH
Well, if it isn’t an absolute marriage made in heaven – the new champion of drum ‘n’ bass and the queen of bassline – Nia Archives and Jorja Smith – on a track together! It makes a whole lot of sense, and you know it! This is the fourth single from Nia’s new album ‘Emotional…

REVIEW / UNDERSCORES / U
It’s strange for old heads to hear the influence of old, glitchy electronic music finding it’s way into new releases that basically sound like pop music. And it’s strange in a good way. The influence of SOPHIE went overground when Charli XCX announced that, whether anyone liked it or not (and most people did), it…

GOD OF WAR – LIKE A SKATE VIDEO VIA NES VIBES, MAYBE
We got a press release filled with words that confused the hell out of us, but it clearly piqued our interest enough to press play over all the other press bunf we get. It said: God of War, the project of They Are Gutting A Body of Water’s Douglas Dulgarian and Hooky’s Scott Turner and…

FREE RANGE JULY 2026
You’re probably looking at this very article because you’ve listened to the FREE RANGE radio show of July and wanted to know what some of the songs were called on it. Or, this piece is the very reminder you needed to alert you to the fact it is out in the first place. Either way,…
