WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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…
-
There’s something of a drum ‘n’ bass resurgence afoot, going back to it’s gritty realism after a lot of… well… Chase & Status stadiumstep. With that, Nia Archives who is waiting to drop their full length debut album next month (‘Silence Is Loud’, for the record) has released a single which reminds us of classic…
-
There’s so many things to love about Kacey Musgraves. She was one of the few who made country that felt genuinely modern and progressive, in a sea of pretty chewy stadium country, and with her peers, she mined a more reflective, cosmic, liberal country without painting her views in such gaudy, broad strokes, that it…
-
Bob James is cool. We all know that. When the GZA sampled ‘Nautilus’ for Ghostface’s ‘Daytona 500′, he knew Bob James was cool. Of course, Bob James’ ‘Angela’ is one of the coolest TV theme tunes of all time, as anyone who watched Taxi will testify. So, with that, we stumbled across a super cool…
-
We can’t know everything, so we haven’t previously heard of Fabiana Palladino. We’re going to assume there’s a relation to bass legend Pino Palladino here, but seeing as Pino is a cool guy, we’re not going to go down the nepo route. We get to be hypocritical about these things when we like what we’re…

Munster Records don’t half put out some gems, and we’re alerting you to one absolute belter from their catalogue! It’s called ‘Sabroso Go Go’ and, as a whole group, kinda defies pigeonholing, but it’s all super fun and unique! Music from Peru – especially the MAG label – is always worth your time. The label…
-
L’Impératrice are brilliant and pretty much everything they do is that brand of irresistible, smoother than silk, French disco pop. It brings us great joy to say that the new song they’ve quietly put out is exactly that. Now, there’s not a proper video for it yet – only a lyric video – but it…

ROCHELLE JORDAN HAS DONE IT AGAIN
We are huge fans of Rochelle Jordan, from her early days of dreamy R&B, but moreso now that she’s incorporated luxurious, smart house to the mix. ‘Play With The Changes’ is one of the finest albums released in the last decade, and we’ve been eagerly waiting for another full length release since. Maybe that’s coming,…

NEW CATE LE BON IS GOOD NEWS
Cate Le Bon is not only prolific, but she’s also one of the more unique artists around, so it is definitely good news that she’s announced a new album. And there’s a song to listen to, taken from it, which you can check below. The LP is out via the excellent Mexican Summer, and features…

WHAT IS COWORKER MUSIC?
A new satirical music genre just dropped called ‘Co-Worker Music’ and you’re probably wondering what that is… or maybe you just intuitively know exactly what it is… either way, have we got something for you! Co-worker music is also called ‘NPC Music’, and it’s all very glib and a bit sniffy, but that’s okay –…

NEW DEAF WHIP
Manchester’s gloom glam merchants Deaf Whip have a new single out called ‘Cherry Lotion’, and looks like they’ve got themselves on a cool little label too – notably, the ace Sour Grapes who have been pushing psychedelic rock to all and sundry for a while now. A great fit. Apparently this was recorded in part…
