WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
TSHA has a new song out called ‘Green’ and its ace! It’s a dancer, but it’s an emotional affair too – just what we like to see! There’s nothing quite like an emotional banger, right? She says: “Me and my partner were in the studio together, about to write something. He was getting on my nerves,…

A little while ago, there was a spate of records and acts that were kinda miserable, but anthemic with it. It wasn’t exactly Grunge 2.0, but emotional lyrics and crunchy guitars were definitely back. One of the better artists from this period was Soccer Mommy, who as it happens, is back with a new song!…

Men I Trust – it’s been a while. The last thing they put out was back in 2021 when they released their ‘Untourable Album’, which went down very well with everyone. Of course, there’s been dribs and drabs, and last year they put out the ace ‘Ring of Past’, but now, they’re back with a…

The Green Child are an Aussie group that went from two members to four (apologies for the old picture, then) and they have a really cool new single out called ‘Wow Factor’ which reminds us of loads of good stuff made by loads of other cool and unique bands. Seriously, we’re into it! There’s a…

Vince Guaraldi’s work with the soundtrack on the Peanuts cartoons is rightly the stuff of legend. Achingly cool and whistleable jazz, bopping away under the utterly charming and razor sharp voice work from the Shultz created characters, which obviously include Snoopy and the mighty Charlie Brown. Re-discovered in the vaults is the somewhat timely ‘You’re…

Allegra Krieger has a new album out called ‘Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine’, and you’ll be able to hear that tomorrow in fact! Below is the final single that preempts it, and it’s really cool. We really liked another single she released in the build-up to this – here – which was a neat…

The presidential race in the USA has a lot hanging on it, for sure, but regardless of that, the whole thing has made for some really good TV. It always does, because one thing the Americans love, is making great television. A thick line has been drawn and either side of it stand two candidates…

A lovely little Detroit one-two here from Babyface Ray, featuring Veeze. Babyface has a new album this week called ‘The Kid That Did’ which we’re looking forward to hearing. In advance, you can listen to ‘Wavy Navy University’, which is a psychedelic take on trap-hop. Big Sean, Pusha T and G Herbo count themselves as…

MUNA are great, have had a number of hot songs, and with that, have seen their popularity rightly grow. The group’s identity have seen them filling a hole in pop culture which has seen a pocket of fans feeling incredibly seen by them, to use the common parlance of the youth. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns…

If you’re in the market for some seriously fun indie fuzz pop, then you will like the new song from Swedish group Girl Scout, who just so happen to have told everyone that they’ve got a new EP coming out. The EP is called ‘Headache’ and it’ll be out in November (where did the year…

GOVT + LIVE MUSIC + BREXIT
The Culture Minister – Ian Murray – has promised the “full commitment” of the UK government in a bid to remove the barriers around touring in the EU and UK, apparently. There’s been a lot of talk about this in recent years, with musicians hamstrung by bureaucracy and levies, while trying to earn a living.…

BASEMENT’S POST HARDCORE
Post-hardcore is apparently a genre. We’re not too sure about that kind of thing, but Basement are apparently exponents of it and we like their new single, which is much more important information. They’re releasing a new LP – their first in eight years – called ‘Wired’ and pre-orders are where you expect them to…

SOFIA KOURTESIS DJ KICKS
Sofia Kourtesis is a fine musician, producer and DJ and, it is the latter that we’re looking at with the release of her DJ-Kicks mix, which you can hear in full on whatever service you’re using – we’ve linked it at the foot of this piece. She says: “This mix was about bringing together all the…

REVIEW / ELMIENE / SOUNDS FOR SOMEONE
2026 is shaping up to be a hot year for R&B lovers, with a load of albums and single drops heating things up. One of the most exciting has been the releases from the UK’s very own Elmiene, who has managed to marry classic soul with modern production and jazzy flourishes. And you’re probably thinking…
