WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Did you know Mac DeMarco has a new LP out? And did you know it has 199 songs on it? What’s he like eh, the daft sausage. He’s a charming bugger, so instead of being wordy and worthy, we figured we’d let him do the hard work and we’d just share a video where he…

Remember we wrote about the price of tickets and the wrath of pop fans? Well, seeing as “ticketmaster” has been trending on Twitter for around 4 months solidly this year, it’s obviously not a topic that is likely to cool any time soon. And we’re chucking some more kindling on the fire, because it’s worth…
-
Siouxsie Sioux does seem cooler than all the other UK punk survivors put together, doesn’t she? Then again, the goths have put a claim in for her as theirs too, but whatever. After a hiatus away from the stage, she’s back and we’re stealing someone’s footage to show you, in case you want to see…

Here’s a new song called ‘Deceiver’ by Claire Rousay and Helena Deland. It’s released on Mexican Summer who, largely speaking, are a record label you can trust. It’s always worth listening to something if it’s released on Mexican Summer. They’ve put out music by Weyes Blood, Cate Le Bon, Best Coast, Kurt Vile, Connan Mockasin,…
-
What a great thing to have a band name like Alogte Oho & His Sounds of Joy. Who are they? They’re about to make your day a whole lot better. They’re a group from Ghana who make uplifting, brassy Afrobeat and it does exactly what it says on the tin – it’s filled with joy.…

One of the UK’s finest soul singers, lovely Linda Lewis, has sadly died. To many, this may be a new name so let us fill you in as tribute and introduce you to some wonderful music in the meantime. Lewis got a break performing with John Lee Hooker, and was courted by Bowie, Rod Stewart,…

If you know Adrian Flanagan, you’ll know he’s behind a whole bunch of great music stuff, including The International Teachers of Pop, The Moonlandingz, The Chanteuse & The Crippled Claw and more. Look him up. You’ll have a lovely time. Anyway, at the minute, he’s doing the Acid Klaus thing and there’s a new song…
-
When The Weeknd came back with a sort of New Wave angle on his pop-R&B, everyone went nuts, as well as his face. He was making a point about celebrity culture or something, we forget. Well, keep that in mind when you’re listening to the new and very excellent track from Fireboy DML. It’s called…
-
Nick Cave eh? Like, he’s really loved. Not everyone loves him of course – who is entirely loved? Certain pockets of the internet have turned on David Attenborough, so y’know, who stands a chance? Anyway, we’re not that bothered about Nick Cave’s music so we’re not going to try and cancel him here (over his…

Like futuristic music? Like jazz? Well, LA’s High Pulp may well have just the thing for you with their new track called ‘(If You Don’t Leave) The City Will Kill You’. Optimistic title, that. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Days In The Desert’ in July. They’re a collective so there’s loads of…

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.…

NEW CASS MCCOMBS
People who like Cass McCombs are a keen bunch, so they probably already know that there’s a new track from the man himself out. For the rest of us, he’s done a Tiny Desk show for NPR, and he included a new song in it, and we’re linking to the studio version for you to…
