WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
There’s few greater joys than seeing working class people dance en masse. Whether you’re amongst it or simply viewing it, hot dance music and people busting out while wearing their best clothes is wholesome good, and we’ve been going down a rabbit hole of clips from Detroit TV show ‘The New Dance Show’. It ran…

We don’t really know anything about Jana Mila but on the strength of hearing her new single ‘Somebody New’, we’re going to find out as soon as we hit the publish button on this. The small amount we do know is that there’s going to be a new album in the summer called ‘Chameleon’. It’s…

Jazz fusion’ers Ezra Collective have said they’ve got a new LP coming out this year, on the back of winning that award they won (we can’t remember what the award was, but we wrote about it and basically, it was well deserved) which is good news! Of course, that means a little teaser for it…

Based in LA, you’d been forgiven for thinking that Geneva Jacuzzi was actually a product of the Blitz Kid crew with their take on glamorous, gothic pop music. She’s got a new record deal and a new song – ‘Dry’ – to celebrate that fact. She says: “I took a little break from writing music…

The Pet Shop boys, despite their occasional protestations, are the benchmark for smart pop music. When you listen to them, you can feel your brain being tickled while your feet move – they’re really made of magic when they’re on form. So with that, we’re looking at their latest LP ‘Nonetheless’, which they’ve dubbed their…

THEPOPCORPS saw GEL supporting thrashsploitation legends Municipal Waste and they were brilliant. They’ve since got themselves a new record deal and to celebrate, they’ve got new music out for you. For our money, they’re the most fun hardcore band on the circuit (we’re no experts, mind you – but we like what we like) and…

The return of the physical format makes us feel all gooey inside, and better yet, it means more people hanging around in record shops and the like. HMV pivoted back toward vinyl as well as a host of merchandise and audio equipment and it’s all very encouraging to see the high street indulging in hobbies…

Pressure is a terrible thing to heap onto a reclusive musician. With that in mind, many fans of Boards of Canada invariably don’t want to spook the brothers behind the name, but also, get visibly excited at the mere mention of their name. And rightly so – outside of Aphex Twin and Autechre, they’re just…
-
These are always exercises that are effectively futile and occasionally controversial, but it’s fun to make lists and order things for people to agree and disagree with, right? And it’s worth pointing out that such lists are invariably the fruit of something thinking about something popular that they’re going to arbitrarily score lowly, and something…

We’re hugely enjoying the music of CUZZOS X5 at the minute. With hip hop in dire need of an injection of goofiness without the backpack, these girls have been slinging out club friendly bangers that are stupidly fun and joyful… and cocky as all hell, which is always important we think. They’ve been skewering the…

THE JOY OF ‘THE NEW DANCE SHOW’
There’s few greater joys than seeing working class people dance en masse. Whether you’re amongst it or simply viewing it, hot dance music and people busting out while wearing their best clothes is wholesome good, and we’ve been going down a rabbit hole of clips from Detroit TV show ‘The New Dance Show’.

JANA MILA’S DOE-EYED COUNTRY POP
We don’t really know anything about Jana Mila but on the strength of hearing her new single ‘Somebody New’, we’re going to find out as soon as we hit the publish button on this. The small amount we do know is that there’s going to be a new album in the summer called ‘Chameleon’. It’s…

GENEVA JACUZZI WITH NEW BLITZ KID BOP
Based in LA, you’d been forgiven for thinking that Geneva Jacuzzi was actually a product of the Blitz Kid crew with their take on glamorous, gothic pop music. She’s got a new record deal and a new song – ‘Dry’ – to celebrate that fact. She says: “I took a little break from writing music…
