WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
What is MGK, or Machine Gun Kelly, if you prefer. To most, he’s that tattooed guy in the gossip columns who says things like he’s ‘part alien’, and seemed to be in a relationship with Megan Fox that screamed ‘we saw you across the room, liked your vibe, and would you like to come back…
-
When people acting in bad faith start complaining about pop going woke, it’s funny to think about how political pop used to be and just how much politicians hated people who spoke out about them. John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a literal FBI file on them and Elvis snitched to Nixon about the pair,…

Kaytranada is great – everyone knows that. So it is great news that there’s new music to sink our teeth into, right? Well, there’s going to be a new LP called ‘Aint No Damn Way!’ on Friday! That’s tomorrow! Surprise! To whet the appetite, here’s the boogie neon gem ‘Space Invader’ to listen to. A…

No, not a snuff movie – don’t be silly now. Depeche Mode have teamed up with Mexican director Fernando Frias for a new movie which looks at the Mexican relationship with dying, with the group squarely in the film itself. Rather than acting, ‘M’ will revolve around live footage of the group during their ‘Memento…

Rochelle Jordan is one of the best artists around and she keeps releasing great music to underline how great she is. The singles that have preceded the imminent album have all been excellent and the new one is doing bits too. The new track is called ‘Doing It Too’, taken from the sure-to-be brilliant album ‘Through…

One of the tried and tested answers to the lack of money bands get from streaming is ‘play more shows’, under the assumption that gigs are the last vestige of earning for any small group out there. Of course, there’s a raft of costs involved in travelling with a show and touring is not cheap.…

Another day, another band leaving Spotify. If this is a sign of things to come, it’s worth pointing out that this is very embryonic at the moment, with most artists remaining on the service – but there does seem to be something in the air. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are the latest group…

Bob Dylan is pretty tight-lipped mostly, and when answering questions, prefers to be on the side of cryptic. It is fair to say that he’d rather let his music do the talking, which is probably why fans read so much into his songs. With that, for the first time in years, he’s opened his set…
-
It is fair to say that Wolf Alice’s new album is pretty keenly anticipated, and they’ve got a new song out which is only going to add to any excitement from their fans. In fact, we’d suggest that the latest one might be the pick of the crop. It’s called ‘White Horses’ and it’s a…

Disclosure are always a whole load of fun when they’re collaborating with guest vocalists, and now they’ve dropped a track with Anderson Paak, which makes a lot of sense and we’re surprised it hasn’t happened before. With that in mind, it seems like this one has been on the boiler for a while. The group…

WEYES BLOOD X DRUGDEALER
When Drugdealer are on form, they’re irresistible. Weyes Blood is one of the finest artists on the planet right now. Add the two together? Magic. Of course, this is not the first collaboration between these two things, but this new track is a welcome return from some time out for both, and Weyes Blood is…

NEW MODERN NATURE
August 29th sees a new album from pastoral post rockers, Modern Nature, and the long player goes by the name of ‘The Heat Warps’. You can hear a track from it which is called ‘Pharaoh’, and with a kneejerk reaction granted, it sounds like a career best from the project, although they’d be loathed to…

ST ETIENNE VS CHEMICALS
Saint Etienne have always been into interesting collaborations, from teaming up with Tim Burgess for a Christmas single, to Monkey Mafia remixes and more! With their latest release, they’re doing more of the same! They have a new LP called ‘International’ and from it, you can listen to a track called ‘Glad’, which features Tom…

YAYA BEY IS ONE TO WATCH
Everything we’ve heard from the imminent Yaya Bey album has been great, so this is a further call for you to be ready for the release of ‘Do It Afraid’, which is coming out June 20th. We think it’ll be one of the R&B albums of 2025. Don’t wait for someone else to get you…
