WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Music documentaries don’t always have to be about hugely famous people – in fact, a number of the best ones are those that teach you something new. With that, there’s a new flick coming out which looks great called ‘See My World: Manchester, Lagos & Me’ which is a short film looking at the “cultural…

Justice have a new single out and it’s called ‘Saturnine’ and features R&B singer Miguel. We’re desperately trying to avoid comparing Justice to Daft Punk and this song to their work with Pharrell, but we just typed that sentiment out, so maybe we’re failing not only ourselves, but the work of Justice too. Anyway, seeing…

We can all fall foul of listening to something talking about their mental health issues and meanly talking about self indulgence, as some enormo star talks about how lonely they’ve felt in their condo, but sincerely, there was a moment in Logic1000’s timeline where it looked like we were going to watch her vanish completely…

Anyone with good taste will tell you just how much they love Broadcast and how sadly missed they are. Of course, the band ended with the untimely death of Trish Keenan, but for people who love them, there’s good news. Broadcast have announced that they’re going to release some new music – they say it’ll…

Look, not everything Khruangbin release is absolute gold, but it sure is lovely to have them around with their soulful, gently psychedelic twang, and handily for us, they have a new song out called ‘Pon Pón’. This is another song that is taken from their upcoming album called ‘A La Sala’. We featured the other…

“No-one’s going to read this”. That’s what Louis Walsh said of the hugely popular and brilliant book about pop music, written by pop superfan and oracle, Michael Cragg. To most pop fans, this wasn’t especially surprising, because there’d always been something off about Walsh according to anyone who had eyes and ears. He’s back in…

Willie Nelson played a show in Texas and Kermit the Frog came on stage and they sang ‘Rainbow Connection’ together. Honestly, what more do you need to hear? It’s just about the most wholesome thing you’re going to see. Press play, and marvel at the detail of the puppeteers when they position Kermit’s hand like…

Honey Gentry makes some of the coolest, dreamiest pop on the planet, so just as spring is trying to fight it’s way out of our second winter, we’re treated to a new song which aches of sunnier days. ‘Mykonos’ is out today on your favourite platform and is a breathy, lighter than air number to…

No music genre ever really goes away, but when there’s a blossoming of interest, it’s always worth keeping an eye on those artists within who are keeping things moving and interesting. And so, to Logic1000 who is making some of the coolest house music on the planet right now – experimental in places, but accessible…

There’s a new track from Brian Eno, who you’ll know as That Guy From Roxy Music or Ambient Man. It’s called ‘All I Remember’ and you might not need more information than this, so head to the bottom of the page to press play. For those that like reading, this track is about some of…

MAMALARKY FUN NEW SONG
We don’t know anything about Mamalarky, but we heard they had some new music out, and the song ‘Won’t Give Up’ is real fun, so we’re sharing it with you. There’ll be a new album called ‘Hex Key’, and that’s out this week, so press play on this if you want a taster before listening…

PULP, THEY’RE BACK
Tell your mums and dads that Pulp are back. They’ll be ready to put down their unsettling infatuation with Gazelles and David Byrne to one side, while they commit to their love of Jarvis Cocker, vintage shops, and plastic macs again! Of course, the appearance of Pulp is never a bad thing, and rather than…

THE MAKING OF FIVE LEAVES LEFT
Seeing as, for the most part, Nick Drake didn’t have much in the way of compilations as to keep his entire back catalogue in rotation – in recent years, that’s changed with some odds and ends and previously unheard things seeing the light of day. And that’s continuing with something for the ardent Nick collectors…

TURNSTILE ON Es?
Turnstile aren’t like other hard rock groups – you can hear the breadth of their influences on their records, as they clearly listen to more than just punk – there’s electronics, jazz, psychedelic indie, shoegaze and more in the mix, and they’re all the better for it. With that, we’re pretty convinced now that they like…
