#399 - Lankum, 故やす子, Library L'Amour, Richard Skelton, Pö, Left Hand Cuts Off the Right - 20 February 2023

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.
