Good things come to those who wait, like those of us who have waited six years for new Evian Christ material. That being said, good things come to those of us who can’t wait either, and – just six months after their debut masterpiece – the Japanese folklore-French prog collaboration PoiL Ueda have another exceptional, outlandish record for you.

#427 – Gallops, Paavoharju, Vumbi Dekula, Mårble, Infested Monastery, Fotocopia - 25 September 2023

Opening tracks can be deceiving, but as soon as the beautiful, delicate sounds of Swedish Congolese artist Vumbi Dekula have drifted into field recordings of bees, things turn a little nastier, with Infested Monastery and the latest from Moonworshipper’s Arcanist.

#426 - Matmos, Gazelle Twin, Nihiloxica, Lila Tirando a Violeta & Sin Maldita, Hihats in Trees, Gaf y la Estrella de la Muerte - 11 September 2023

Phoar, what a scorcher! It’s a hot box in the studio and hot on the sounds as well.

#425 – CZN, The Bug, Natalia Beylis, Max Tundra, Galen Tipton, Jun Kamoda - 4 September 2023

It’s early morning when we’re recording, but the sounds are far from appropriate to a sleepy English Summer morning, going positively abrasive with the latest nastiness from The Bug.

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.

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.
