Eclecticism goes hand-in-hand with the Independent Music Podcast, this week it’s featuring everything from experimental electronica to traditional folk music via tropicalia and ferocious punk.

Anthony brings a lot of lush instrumentation to a fairly chilled episode, with the dreamy Hydromedusae, legendary Shirley Collins, and fabulous Scottish trad folk from Brìghde Chaimbeul. Gareth brings a bit more abrasion, including the supreme collaboration between Scotch Rolex and Shackleton.

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.

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.
