Summary: <p>HEAVY is the theme of this week's podcast. We know we don't usually do themes, but sometimes we're vibing in a compatible way. So from the Mike Patton-meets-J pop metal opener, we're off into a dark and thunderous direction.</p> <p>We have piles of drones, contemplative electronics, the avant-folk/prog 10-minuter of Yarroth, and then change it up for our patrons, who get a taste of Niger guitars-cum-Bollywood, East African electronics, and what is deemed 'the best song of the year' by Lankum.</p> <p><strong>Tracklisting</strong></p> <p>故やす子 - 墓 守 キ ャ ン ハ ゚ ー (Omoide Label, Japan)</p> <p>Rainbow Island - Hidden Birubu (Riforma, Italy)</p> <p>Yarroth - God of Panic (I, Voidhanger Records, Italy)</p> <p>Dawn Ray’d - The Battle of Sudden Flame (Prosthetic Records, USA)</p> <p>Left Hand Cuts Off the Right - Right Kind of Personality (Brachliegen Tapes, UK)</p> <p>Richard Skelton - The Plot of Lunar Phases (Phantom Limb, UK)</p> <p>Moussa Tchingou - Derhan (Sahel Sounds, USA)</p> <p>Pö - Cociage (Hakuna Kulala, Uganda)</p> <p>Library L’Amour - Limonade (Stroom, Belgium)</p> <p>Lankum - Go Dig My Grave (Rough Trade Records, UK)</p> <p>This week’s episode is sponsored by The state51 Conspiracy, a creative hub for music.
