WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Formerly Girl Band, now Gilla Band, they’ve got a new single out called ‘Sports Day’ and honestly, you can probably just scroll to the bottom of this article and listen to the track and skip all the fluff. However, the fluff is slightly necessary for us as we have to provide something that looks like…

Hey Macca fans! There’s going to be a feature documentary that looks at Paul McCartney’s life following the breakup of The Beatles. That’s the cool solo bits, Wings, and his life with Linda McCartney, and obviously, an insane amount of incredible music. We’re promised a lot of never-seen-before archive of Paul and Linda’s home videos…

Pop Corps are gigantic Steely Dan fans. Let’s just get that out of the way. Now, Steve Albini says he hates Steely Dan. Time to get the claws out and start bringing up the fact that Steve Albini was in a band called Rapeman and all that, right? Time to outline exactly why Steely Dan…

One of our favourite, favourite music project is back with more music. If you haven’t heard Looking Suite, then you’re missing out on some really wonderful ambient, post-noodle, psychedelic improv, nu-age, dream-chug music. It’s hard to pin down what it is exactly, but you’ll feel like you’re hovering while it’s on, and it’s magic. The…

Pink Floyd – they’ve always got on so well with each other haven’t they? We joke of course, but any hope for a reunion have been well and truly booted to death this week. Polly Samson, author and wife of Dave Gilmour, have been tweeting. We’ll link to her tweet. Then to Gilmour’s quote tweet.…

If you’re very knowledgable about music and go on about it, there’s no telling you anything. For the rest of everyone, there’s a new app that you might like! You might not! We’re not your real dad. Anyway, an app. So, there’s a new app out that’s called Rewind and what it intends to do…

There’s a lot of musicians and bands that haven’t been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and when you read the latest list of nominations, you’ll be like “THEY’RE NOT ALREADY IN THERE?!?!” This year, up for the award… and unbelievably not already in there, are Kate Bush, George Michael, Missy Elliott…

Yves Tumor isn’t quite like anyone else around at the moment, but one thing we do know is that the music they’ve been making is undeniably sexy. Good too, mind you. Future glam mixed with Prince’s grimier moments, with a dollop of psychedelics thrown in. It’s fun stuff. Well, good news pop fans, there’s going…

Hey! Vic Mensa has teamed up with Thundercat and singer Maeta on a new track called ‘Strawberry Louis Vuitton’, which is good news isn’t it? We like them. Not so much Louis Vuitton, but that’s not through any moral stance – rather – we haven’t ever been able to afford it so it doesn’t mean…

There’s a gorgeous new record you need by Tokyo’s Arimoto and it’s called ‘Acacia y Suministro de Agua’. Part folk, part psych, part post-rock, all ace, you’ll like this no doubt. You can just listen to it below if you won’t take our word for it. All recorded in glorious analogue, this is a private…

LEAKED BEATLES FREE AS A BIRD 2025 MIX?
Take these things with a pinch of salt, but it seems like there’s been a leak of The Beatles 2025 mix of ‘Free As A Bird’. It appeared on Instagram, promptly vanished, but not before some people grabbed it and uploaded it to YouTube. If this is the real deal, then predictably, John Lennon’s vocal…

GET READY FOR TCHOTCHKE
We’re really excited about the imminent LP from Tchotchke. Not only was their last album one of our all-time favourites, the new stuff sounds just as brilliant! They’re an absolute marvel live, so we’re hoping they’ll be doing shows this side of the pond, and that we’ll be able to land the vinyl of the…

BEATLES ANTHOLOGY REMASTER, PLUS FOUR
Eagle eyed Beatle fans had noticed that, on Spotify, ‘Free As A Bird’ suddenly had the addition of ‘(1995 Mix)’, which got everyone muttering. This obviously meant that there was going to be an updated mix, presumably employing the improved sound separation technology we saw with the ‘Now And Then’ single. seems to be hinting…

NEW JAY SOM
‘Baybee’ by Jay Som is a favourite at ThePopCorps, and so we’ve always kept an eye out for new music. Luckily for us, there’s the first new album in 6 years coming our way! And things are a smidge different this time ’round. October will see the release of ‘Belong’, but for now, we’ve got…
