WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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

For fans of R&B, and soul music infused with jazz and classical, Roberta Flack was one of the greatest to ever do it. She had hits with Killing Me Softly, and the utterly gorgeous The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, as well as the wonderful Feel Like Makin’ Love which would be covered

Have you been missing the sounds of indie sleaze and electro clash? Do you still wish you were drinking bottles of Moscow Mules and seeing girls in oversized belts over short skirts? Well, you better listen to the new one from Sextile. With brash synths, shouted verses and 808s, you’ll be firing up Spotify to

Those who were lucky enough to hear the music made by Bill Fay, were changed forever. Sadly for Bill, he never quite got his flowers and now, as we’re faced with his passing, we’re once again wishing more and more people knew how wonderful he was. A statement from his label, says: “Bill was a

Neil Young has teased a full UK tour (and Europe, and the US) this year, and god knows how much tickets are going to end up being, but still! Talking to his Neil Young Archives site, he yelled ‘Join us in the SUMMER OF DEMOCRACY’, before adding that there’s going to be a proper announcement of some

A lot of Nu Yacht is a bit silly, wearing sea captain hats and unable to override it’s own irony – not always though! Smooth grooves are an awesome thing when done right, and with ‘Sou Fera’ by Julia Mestre, we have a gorgeous, sophisticated little shuffler that mixes Brazilian MPB with West Coast loveliness,
