75 m. ago Jim Legxacy: Black British Music review | Alexis Petridis's album of the week

(XL Recordings)The rapper and producer doubles down on his vaulting style, lurching from alt-rock to distortion and chipmunk soul on an astonishingly coherent and melodic third recordOn Father, the first single to be taken from Jim Legxacy’s third mixtape, the listener is offered a vivid image from the author’s past. The teenage James Olaloye, as he was then, is on the streets of Lewisham, the south-east London borough where he grew up. He is “rolling up a blunt, scheming for the funds trying to come up off the roads on my own two / I never had a father”. Inevitably, this means he’s up to no good: “Making money off a phone a key’s what they want.”It’s a familiar scenario in the world of UK rap, a genre in which you seldom want for bleak descriptions of the life its stars have left behind on often deprived council estates. But in the case of Father, it comes with a small, but striking detail. “On the block,” he attests, “I was listening to Mitski.” Continue reading...

75 m. ago The search for the drink of summer 2025 is over – and it’s Lonkero

Sorry, BuzzBallz, spicy paloma, Hugo spritz, Suntory –196 and Tiramibru, but nothing hits the spot like gin mixed with grapefruit sodaIdeally, to qualify for the title, the drink of the summer – like the song of the summer – should be obvious and undeniable, emerging some time in mid-June before spreading, as though on the breeze, to be inescapable by August.You should have never even heard of this beverage before the temperature hits 20C, then you shouldn’t be able to imagine life without it. You might return to it years later, and even enjoy it – but it should never hit quite the same way as it did that first summer it was everywhere. Continue reading...

2 h. ago The Railway Children review – a real steam train is the spectacular star

Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, West Yorkshire Stupendous set design brings E Nesbit’s children’s classic to new life as a wealthy Anglo-Indian family is forced to adjust to reduced life in Yorkshire in this irresistible adaptationThis site-specific experience begins with a ride on a stream train. Audiences travel to a purpose-built auditorium inside an engine shed at Oxenhope station. It is a delightful mood-setter to Mike Kenny’s adaptation of E Nesbit’s 1905 novel, which premiered in 2008. It is back on the road, this time chugging its way along the same five-mile line comprising the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway on which the Green Dragon travelled in Lionel Jeffries’ iconic 1970 film.Inside the shed, the impressive stagecraft arrests the senses over the story of Roberta (Farah Ashraf), Peter (Raj Digva) and Phyllis (Jessica Kaur), the children forced out of their well-to-do London home and into a shambling house by the tracks in Yorkshire, after their father (Paul Hawky...
