WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you’re into DIY indie music, chances are, you’re already fizzing with excitement at the mere mention of Comet Gain. If you’re not, let us introduce you to them with their new single called ‘Beat Of The Veins’. It’s skuzzy pop music, and this new song heralds the imminent arrival of new long-player, ‘Letters To…

Look, we understand that talking about anyone’s appearance is entirely reductive, especially when part of this project is about (in her own words) not “chasing perfection.” However, as raw as her new video is, we couldn’t stop looking at her fancy teeth. Have they been like that for ages? Is that the difference between normal…

Eurovision is tonight, so if you don’t want spoilers, look away. The bookmakers have been having their say, after doing whatever research they do, and listening to whatever grapevine they’ve been earwigging. Will they be right? Maybe, maybe not. We’ll find out on the night. We can listen to their five favourites in advance, and…

We wondered if Wolf Alice were coming back. Well, turns out they were and they have a new single out which is really cool and has a whiff of NYC Cuban music about it, which is never a bad thing! The single is called ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ and it’ll appear on new album ‘The Clearing’.…

They’ve been on tour with hot new Alt Country thing, MJ Lenderman, so it won’t surprise anyone who hasn’t heard of Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band are cut from a very similar cloth, making fun slacker country music for lads who drink PBR and chong weed vapes. Hailing from Kentucky, Ryan Davis and his…

Tchotchke are one of the finest power pop, bubblegum groups around. You heard their Lemon Twigs produced LP? If not, remedy that, stat. They have a cool new single out called ‘Did You Hear?’ which has been dipped in sugar and is all kinds of wonderful. Enough yapping – press play already.

Everyone’s favourite ’90s crush, Evan Dando, is back as The Lemonheads with the first bit of properly new music in almost 20 years. He’s still being tuneful, slackerish, and a general bohemian dreamboat, of course. He’s teamed up with J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr as well as Lemonhead cohort Juliana Hatfield and it’ll all feel…

Born in Guinea, but now residing in lovely Margate, Falle Nioke is being the irrepressible multi-instrumental and fine-voiced artist with a new song out that is well worth your time and your ears for listening. Nioke has announced a debut LP which is called ‘Love From Under The Sea’, which you’ll be able to hear…

Daryl Hall’s transition into grumpy old dude continues apace. After airing his dirty underpants with the fallout of the dissolution of the Hall & Oates partnership – which he could have done quietly and left us to enjoy the tunes – he’s now turned his irritation toward the term ‘Yacht Rock’. Now, before we crack…

Now that the acid-casual parents have children old enough to be going out to clubs themselves, it’s fun to think about intergenerational happenings on the the dancefloors of the UK, with mum and son going halves on some pills. With that, there’s a new track out which will be a bridge between “I used to…

KACEY GOES ROOTSY
We’re forever rooting for Kacey Musgraves as she’s just about the freshest voice in country music at the moment, and seemingly is unafraid to march to the sound of her own drum, where a lot of other country musicians bind themselves with musical conservatism. Well, Kacey has signed to Lost Highway Records which has relaunched,…

FREE RANGE / MAY 2025
We have been incredibly lazy when it comes to reminding ourselves to share the tracklisting from the FREE RANGE radio show. We plain forgot that it was a piece of admin we used to do, until we were reminded by a listener. So with that, here’s the latest show for May 2025, featuring a lot…

JORJA SMITH WITH A MASSIVE BANGER
Jorja Smith has committed herself, it seems, to do whatever the hell she wants, and we’re absolutely strapped in for the ride. From dreamy R&B, to killer UK Garage appearances, and now, absolutely filthy bassline music. To get you up for the weekend, here’s her new track ‘The Way I Love You’, which will punch…
-
AESOP ROCK BACK WITH THE BOOM BAP
We already told you that the mighty Aesop Rock has got a new LP coming out called ‘Black Hole Superette’, but we’re going to stick with the promo, as he’s got a new track out and he’s ever reliable and wordy and fun. The new track is called ‘Send Help’, and he’s got all his…
