Independent Music Podcast

Starting with an opus is a wonderful way to return after a week off, and the new collaboration between Shackleton and Heather Leigh is a fantastic bolt out of the blue that shifts through the genres in the same way the whole podcast tends to do. Elsewhere, we’re raising money for the cancer treatment for artist Glenda Torrado (PayPal donations: octupopo@gmail.com), celebrating the surprising return of Small But Hard records, and have long-awaited new music from Forest Swords and E.M.M.A. With new Vanishing Twin, hardcore satanic boogie, and experimental pop music amongst others, this is a cracking pod to celebrate the breadth of superb music being made today.

Artists don’t come much more eclectic than Lunch Money Life, so it’s appropriate that they kick off the Independent Music Podcast this week as we travel through an hour of music that includes campaigning mothers of Indonesia, experimental screwdriver ambient music, and heavy, hypnotic vocal loops amongst much more. That ‘much more’ includes Europop bangers from Glasgow, ferocious bass-driven music, idiosyncratic techno and a whole lot of the good stuff… You can listen to the first six tracks for free.

A rollicking hour of experimental music action on this week’s Independent Music Podcast, where an intro of colourful, DIY, Japanese ambient-pop lulls you into a false sense of security as ferocious tracks from Guinea-Bissau, South Africa, and the inimitable Godflesh punctuate throughout. But there’s subtlety amongst the power, with a roots-flavoured new one from Mungo’s Hi Fi, a stunning track of the year contender from China’s Yikii, and a beautiful solo record from Throwing Muses’ Kristin Hersh.

If you want to listen to all 10 tracks from each episode, join our Patreon and help secure the future of the podcast, which has promoted over 5,000 artists and record labels from the experimental global scene: patreon.com/independentmusicpodcast We’ve never really put much value on genre descriptors – the best music seems to be a meld of influences that creates a new sound altogether – and it’s just as well with this show, where we have no words to describe whatever the music of Inhumankind is. We also have a cracking new one from Nihiloxica member pq, whose new record on Lapsus takes you on a journey between club workouts and contemplative electronic music.

You’ll need a deep breath before recalling the artist ‘England’s Council of Legislation and Governing Body of Hyper Real Simulations and Constructs’ – without doubt the longest artist name in 413 episodes of this podcast, before acid synths take the patrons home.

Big BIG BIG sounds on this week’s Independent Music Podcast. A generally iffy week personally means that beers have been drunk and the music is beyond reproach.  Metronomic krautrock feeds to immense synth dungeon dance floor sounds, grime from living legend Manga Saint Hilare, and uncategorisable music from Ziúr on Uganda’s Hakuna Kulala label.  Beyond that, deep house, Japanese footwork, Russian anti-war folk songs, and a triumphant return for the superb Selvhenter showcase the very best in global experimental sounds.

Hey, after some demure music on last week’s podcast, Anthony has decreed that it’s time to go a bit harder this week – and harder we shall go!
