WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We admittedly don’t know much about Pynch, but that’s okay, because we’re going to get to know them more after hearing the new single from them called ‘The Supermarket’. It has jangly guitars and they seem like they might be too cool to smile in photos, which is always fun. Press play, now, if you…
-
Little Simz has announced a new album called ‘Lotus’ and, of course, if you’re not interested in reading any words about this, you can just scroll down and listen to a track instead. It’s fine by us. We’re not precious or getting paid for any of this. The new song is called ‘Flood’ and it is…

The Ting Tings released a country song a bit ago, and it really surprised everyone. It is nice when a band reconfigures and decides to do as they please. Of course, they originally made danceable indie sleaze with ‘Shut Up And Let Me Go’ and ‘That’s Not My Name’. Not these days. And there’s a…

There’s been a burst of activity from seemingly nowhere from JME who, whether he likes it or not, is one of the most talented rappers and performers of his generation. The latest track is ‘4NM’, there was an untitled track last week, there were tracks before that… JME doesn’t release music like most people, so…
-
Stereolab have announced a big ol’ world tour, which is great news for lovers of bleeps and bloops with super Gallic Library pop! This is to promo some reissues that are coming out and the 35th anniversary of the band, so expect a fan-fave setlist. Recent reissues have featured all manner of demos, unreleased bits…

Wings fans are in for a treat! There’s a new book coming out, officially in tandem with Paul McCartney, and filled with ace photos and drawn from over 500,000 words, based on dozens of hours of interviews with Macca and key figures in the Wings universe. The book is called ‘Wings: The Story of a…

While the headline says it all, we really should pretend to give you some value for money by adding some words in the main body of the article. Cactus Lee’s new song is fun though, and there’ll be a self titled LP coming in March too. Elsewhere, he’s said the album is: “a reflection on…

A new album comprised of silent music has been released to protest against changes in copyright law, regarding AI. There’s some big hitters on it too, including Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and Damon Albarn, as well as Billy Ocean, Tori Amos, Hans Zimmer, and loads more. You can’t hear them of course, but still. Also…

They call themselves a Flowerkraut Collective, because inventing genres for yourself is fun, but its a pretty handy Post-It for what the group are trying to achieve – an embellished, psychedelic rock that swerves between global psychedelia, German Kosmiche, and a whiff of Library electronics. A sprawling array of members that sometimes reaches double-digits, the…

Do you remember in 2021, when STOMP STOMP CLAP stadium folk group Mumford & Sons were thrown into disarray after it turned out one of their members was a bit fashy? Winston (Aubrey Aladar deBalkan) Marshall praised a book by Andy Ngo which was deemed ‘supremely dishonest’ in its criticisms of the anti-fascist movement, and…

LEIKELI47 TAKES THE MASK OFF
No, this isn’t bait – gifted MC Leikeli47 told everyone a while ago that she would be removing the mask and just being herself for the next stage of her career. She’s done exactly that in the release of the new track from the new LP. The new album is called ‘Lei Keli ft. 47 /…

DÜÜL SUNS’ NEO PSYCH
New band time! They’re called Düül Suns which, with a name like that, you’d expect to be a bunch with a decent record collection or something, including some experimental German music from the ’70s. Well, these are a bunch of lads from New York and while it’s not space music, it is psychedelic. A bit…

BADBADNOTGOOD NEW ONE
Nu Jazzers BADBADNOTGOOD are back, and once again we’re pleased to announce, they’re noodling. It’s a groovy affair and if you already like the group, you’re not going to be disappointed here. They’ve teamed up with singer VCR, who says: “This is more than a song to me – it’s a milestone.” Big talk. We…

GELLI HAHA WANTS TO REMIND YOU OF FUN
It might feel a bit on the nose, what with her surname being ‘Haha’, but Gelli Haha wants to remind you that, despite all the ills of the world, you’re still allowed to have fun, dance in your underpants at home, and that giddy pop dance music is still on the menu. Now, it’s not…
