2 w. ago Joanne Robertson’s beautifully murky folksong and the best of the week’s new tracks

Known as a core Dean Blunt collaborator, the singer and painter has a way with hypnotic melodies and blurred guitar that brings to mind the best of GrouperFrom Blackpool, EnglandRecommended if you like Grouper, Sinéad O’Connor, Dean Blunt Up next New album Blurr released via AD 93 on 19 SeptemberThe best of the UK underground right now resonates with a dank hum, a grimy, disaffected feeling. You don’t need me to tell you why: just listen to Moin, Mark William Lewis, Quade or Still House Plants and let the feeling mingle with the deep sense of dread already entrenched in your bones. One strand of this sound’s DNA can be traced back to Dean Blunt’s warped experimentalism. Anyone attuned to the enigmatic London musician’s output is likely already aware of his long-term collaborator Joanne Robertson, a fixture on 2021’s Black Metal 2 and last year’s Backstage Raver among others. For those outside the Bluntverse, she’s likely to go overground this year as the latest tendril from its worl...

3 w. ago Are Arsenal finally signing Viktor Gyökeres? It’s already real in the digital hive mind | Barney Ronay

The Swedish striker has become more meme than man but he is the very good thing fans asked for, on a tray, ready to goThe current edition of France Football magazine has a photo of Viktor Gyökeres on the cover. Not that I’ve looked at it much, or pored over its details searching for meaning, but the photo shows Gyökeres half in shade, half in sun, displaying his famously shredded physique, not so much the standard male musculature, more a selection of lines and bulges, like he’s made entirely from giant walnuts, like a perfect human challah loaf designed by a robot.In the photo Gyökeres is smiling with a kind of fervour, as though he’s about to sell you a miracle muscle powder. And I for one would buy this powder. Make me into a cyborg, Viktor. Maximise my hidden hyper-potential. Basically, I want Viktor Gyökeres to hold me brusquely in his arms while he talks about good proteins and explains the blockchain, in a way that isn’t sexual. Not for me anyway, but that definitely is for h...
