WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’re big fans of NONAME who is someone who absolutely marches to the beat of her own drum, and she’s at it again with a surprise new track! Called ‘Hundred Acres’, it appeared on the algorithm which did its job for once, and as you’d expect, it’s smart as hell, funky, irresistible chorus, and is…
-
If you’ve heard ‘Dig My Grave’ by Lankum, you’re probably still a but spun out by it (or thunderously turned on if that’s you’re thing) and it’s gothic bedlam. Well, they’re at it again with a little treat for Halloween (and the general state of the world, sadly) with a unique take on ‘Ghost Town’…

Kelly Lee Owens is ace, especially when she’s in dancefloor mode – and she’s shared a new track from the EP ‘KELLY’ which we particularly like. The release of the EP is November 21st, and this new track should get your motor running in the meantime. It goes by the name of ‘132 TECHNO’, and…

A lot of R&B lately, has been so stoned or strung out on Xannies that it’s barely there. That’s fine and all that, but sometimes you want something a big more focused and bigger with the kind of drums that rattle your windows. Thank god then, for keiyaA, who is dropping her ‘hooke’s law’ album…

He’s a long way from his ‘Cartel’ days is Murkage Dave, and it’s been great to see his creative expand upwards and outwards. Genre-hopping, confessional and honest, he’s been releasing his best work since going solo. And there’s a new single called ‘Swordfight In A Chicken Shop’, and there’s a lyric video with it, so…

For people of a certain age, it’s always bad news when the things of their youth become ‘retro’. However, with that, comes an appreciation of the things we loved from the past. As subscription fatigue takes hold with the global youth, the Wild West of the old internet looks appealing once more. The premise of…

The Orielles are back, and that’s great news. They’ve announced a new LP which will be their fourth, called ‘Only You Left’. You’ll be able to hear the whole thing on March 13th, but of course, there’s a new song to tide you over. The new song is a heavy, psychedelic affair – a touch…

In a pop age where everyone is dropping cryptic messages and leaving trails of breadcrumbs and codes for fans to pore over, it’s little wonder the kids are all still mad on ‘Rumours’ for its open messiness and hostilities. In an age that’s obsessed with the tea and all the various ingredients, it’s refreshing to…

As we kinda expected, Rosalia’s new single is not one for the dancefloor. That’s not a criticism – more a statement of fact. Heavy orchestral business, very grand and will surely be a curtain dropper at any shows, it features Bjork and Yves Tumour too! The upcoming album is called ‘LUX’ and, as we previously…

Have you seen ’65 show where a bunch of The Beatles contemporaries perform the music of the group? Hosted by Lennon and McCartney, offbeat humour, fun stage design and barnstorming performances from Lulu, our Cilla, Marianne Faithfull, the boys themselves, and more, this was broadcast just two weeks after ‘Rubber Soul’. Not too shabby eh?…

REVIEW / THE HORRORS / NIGHT LIFE
With a band name like The Horrors, perhaps it is all a bit much to expect too much cheer on one of their records. With this being 2025, and their first LP arriving in 2007, it seems, The Horrors persist. They’ve ducked and dived in the shadows of their influences for years, touching on garage…

MILEY: HYPNO GLAM
Miley Cyrus has gone and announced her new album with a visual teaser. The LP will be called ‘Something Beautiful’, and it is billed as being something that is ‘hypnotic and glamorous’. It’ll be out May 30th. So what can we glean from the spurts of marketing from it? Well, it does seem to have…

HEY ANDY SHAUF FANS!
Andy Shauf knows his way around a melody, and along the way, has picked up a very dedicated set of fans. He’s got a band called Foxwarren, and they have a new tuneful number out called ‘LISTEN2ME’, and it’s great! There’s going to be a new album too, called ‘2’, which you’ll be able to…

ALL THE YOUNG DROIDS
Look, sometimes you get a press release that’s so good, and so comprehensive, that there’s little point in trying to rewrite it and pass it off as your own. With that in mind, after this opening paragraph, we’ve just cut and pasted the whole thing and you’ll get all the info you need from it.…
