WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

As we’ve previously mentioned, Talking Heads were sharing a stage together again, and thankfully, it happened! They stepped on-stage together at the Toronto Film Festival last night for a Q&A about the re-do of ‘Stop Making Sense’ and mercifully, someone’s uploaded a hooky video of it. Thanks la! Previously, guitarist Jerry Harrison had said that…

What’s in the water down Cornwall? They love a bit of noise down there mixed in with head-melting psychedelic business. We’re not talking about Aphex, but rather, improv noise band Mildred Maude who have a new EP out. The track we’re sharing below is called ‘Shifting’ and is taken from ‘Microclimates’ and if you like…

Believe it or not, there’s still a war on drugs, despite drugs clearly being the victor. Fact is, music and taking drugs go hand-in-hand, whether you’re getting off your chops at a rave, bumping a key a gig, or rolling some fat ones while you dissolve into the sofa listening to John Martyn records. And…

Cleo Sol is quite possibly the best soul artist the UK has ever produced so it’s great to hear that she’s got a new LP on the bubbler. The album is called ‘Heaven’ and it’ll be out in just a few days, on September 15th. She put a little teaser online for those who need…

We already told you the ins-and-outs of the new deluxe version of Prince’s ‘Diamonds and Pearls’ edition, so we won’t repeat ourselves again. Interestingly though, there’s another previously unreleased recording to come from the project. This time, it’s a version of ‘Cream’ that shows off a new arrangement and is obviously excellent, because it’s Prince…

More new music from Portable Radio! The second single from the imminent ‘Counting To Three’ LP and this one is a Zombies-esque romp that should tickle your pickle no end. The video is a smart animation by the tremendous Nirshath Madhusanka who you can find more about here.

Joni Mitchell’s archive series has been really great and it should be of no surprise that there’s been some real gems that have previously been unheard by us plebs in the vaults. And so, with her Archives Volume 3 which is out October 6th, we’re getting treated to a track called ‘Like Veils Said Lorraine’…

My Analog Journal has done it again, this time with a wonderful mix of Haitian psychedelic music, played by Belgian-born DJ Tracksuit (great DJ monicker that) He says: “I fell in love with Haitian music about a year ago after Cedric Woo’s Dance for Haiti mix series inspired me. I went down a Discogs rabbit…

Ezra Collective are the first jazz act to win the Mercury Prize (although Speech Debelle feels at least jazz adjacent tbh) and you might have had your interest piqued with this news. Their album ‘Where I’m Meant To Be’ bagged the gong and it got a bunch of approving nods from various heads – and…

There’s a strength to the music of Saint Saviour that’s always been impossible to ignore and lyrically, it’s all there laid out if you’re looking in the right places. Well, she’s back with more wonderful music after a handful of really wonderful LPs, and the new track ‘Better Than’ kicks off with “I told my…

CHECK THE HARD DRIVE / MELLOW YELLOW
It would appear we’ve been mishearing ‘Mellow Yellow’ – the smash psychedelic pop hit from Donovan – this entire time. On a surface listen, it’s just one of those daft drug songs, probably about smoking banana peel or something, right? Well, what we assumed was ‘I’m just mad about Fontaine…‘ – it isn’t out of…

V.I.C. LEANS ON TRAP FOR NEW BOP
There’s more than one rapper called V.I.C. We’re talking about the one from England, who has shared a new mixtape called ‘VÄRIANT’, which is sounding pretty great on our first listen. There’s echoes of trap in there, as well as UK drill, afrobeat swagger, and a load more too. You’ll hear it when you press…

LISTEN TO LOST 1976 MOTORHEAD
Motörhead are great and everyone knows that. What is really great is the announcement that the ‘The Manticore Tapes’ are getting released. Or, if you prefer, their first-ever recording session that they ever did! That is to say, the first recording by Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke, and Philthy Animal, which was undertaken at Emerson, Lake…

BAMBII WITH THE BREAKS
The kids getting back into drum ‘n’ bass has been one of the more surprising things that has happened in the underground in recent years. We’re not mad at it either. When things get globally tense, DnB is usually on hand to channel those feelings. So with that, Bambii has a new track out which…
