big long sun are a Brighton-based eight-piece — Mina-Mae Alexander, Jamie Broughton, Ocean Goucher, Zofia Szymanowska, Oliver Parkes, Tom Gregory, Malte Henning, and Robert Smyth — that make “sonic bedroom art rock pop noises … for dreaming.” That last bit is real important to their loose-limbed folk oeuvre. Their latest single “call it a voice” […]
Vroom Vroom Turns 10
Vroom Vroom Recordings/Asylum 2016 “I released some of my favorite music in 2016,” Charli XCX recalled in a recent podcast interview when asked to weigh in on the viral 2016 nostalgia trend that permeated social media early this year. “I released a song and an EP called the Vroom Vroom EP.” Not a lot of […]
GRRL Announces New Album Beetle: Hear “Moire” & “Scatter”
Yesterday I never would have thought I’d want to shake my ass and flail my limbs to something that resembles the anxious flutter of insects wings. But today is a new day. Today is the day I heard GRRL’s new single “Moire,” with its iridescent buzzing and commanding claps. “Moire” is accompanied by another new […]
I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it Turns 10
Dirty Hit/Polydor/Vagrant/Interscope 2016 I didn’t take them seriously. When the 1975 sauntered onto my computer screen with their 2013 debut album, they struck me as another prefab pop-rock boy band along the lines of One Direction or 5 Seconds Of Summer. That’s not to say I disliked Matty Healy and his guys. Just as I […]

Ella Langley’s Walled-Off Superstardom
Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” is not only a #1 hit but a historic #1 hit. The song, a gentle country weepie about losing your cowboy paramour to his exes down in you-know-where, made Langley the first woman to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts simultaneously. Based […]
Shoes’ Gary Klebe Announces Debut Solo Album Out Loud: Hear “Not Tough Enough”
Are you up on Shoes? They were a power-pop band who got started in mid-’70s Illinois. They had a few excellent minor hits in the late ’70s, and they were early music video adapters, which meant that a bunch of their clips were in rotation on the day that MTV launched in 1981. Shoes never […]
