The 1975: also pretty funny in English
The 1975 have been a defining band for me throughout my youth, and their rollercoaster of experimental releases since 2012 seems to have culminated in a record that harkens back to their roots. It may be one of their best yet.
Being Funny In A Foreign Language lives up to how controversial frontman Matty Healy described the album in his interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe – ‘’earnest’’. The record is a massive, cohesive step up from 2020’s Notes On A Conditional Form, which took musical inte
Jackie Hayes and her snappy 'Over & Over'
Jackie Hayes is slowly making her name as one of the queens of angsty, gritty, guitar-led music, and her debut LP Over & Over plays to her strengths.
Despite having released numerous standalone singles and EPs since 2017, Over & Over was my introduction to the Chicago-based artist’s music. It is safe to say that it didn’t disappoint, and evidently follows on from the grunge and confident themes of her previous releases. Jackie is assured in the message she wants to put across to her fans in her
I Get It Now: Billie Eilish - 'Happier Than Ever'
Two years ago, we started a feature called ‘I Get it Now’, and honestly, we missed it. Sometimes an album you now treasure was once something you couldn’t bear. We owe a lot to second listens.
Billie Eilish is the prime example of an immensely talented young musician catapulted into the spotlight. Winning five Grammy Awards in 2020 – when she was just 17! – for her debut album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO, I had high expectations for the follow up, Happier Than Ever.
The album cycl

Cari Cari take us to Kookoo Island
Calling on influences from film scores and praised as the ‘biggest discovery of Primavera Sound Festival’ by Rolling Stone, Cari Cari take their fans to ‘Kookoo Island’ on their upcoming album. I had the pleasure of discussing their origins and musical journey with the duo.
