Loraine James didn’t have much fun making Detached From the Rest of You. She was feeling stuck, lost, painfully self-conscious. When she finished the record, she decided to name it after her alienated state: a person detached from others, a mind detached from its body. James is forthright about her struggle on the album itself: “Some days I think about quitting this whole thing/Seems like I sulk in my own shit/Oh Loraine, but where’s the passion?” she murmurs on the vignette “Seems Like I.” In interviews, too, James presents her new work as an obstacle rather than a detour, something…

Barely three minutes into ‘Redstar Wu & The Worldwide Scourge’ and Genesis Owusu has already pointed his crosshairs at Elon Musk (“a fuckin’ weirdo”), Donald Trump (a “toupee’d totalitarian”) and Kanye West, whose fans – according to opening track ‘Pirate Radio’ – are “fucking up my homeostasis”. As an opening salvo, backed by claustrophobic, juddering beats and clever references to The Prodigy’s ‘Breathe’ (“Psychosemantic, blowin’ out your brain”), it comes out swinging. But all of that barely scratches the surface of the Australian disruptor’s ambitious if slightly chaotic third studio LP. Where ARIA-winning 2021 debut ‘Smiling With No Teeth’ and…

Per usare una di quelle esecrabili frasi fatte da social, i Lemon Twigs sono la band di cui non sapevamo di aver bisogno. Ma meno male che ci sono. Ogni volta che li si ascolta, ci sono due aspetti che colpiscono, al di là dell’armoniosa bellezza delle canzoni. Uno è l’improbabilità di un gruppo degli anni ’20 di questo secolo per le cui influenze si possono spendere nomi tipo, che so, Harper’s Bazaar o Turtles o Dwight Twilley o Blue Ash (aggiungere a piacere qualunque altra dimenticata chincaglieria anni ’60-’70 da gourmet del pop). L’altro è quanto siano ancora maledettamente…
