#364 – Mungo’s Hi Fi ft Solo Banton, OCH, BLK JKS, Comité Hypnotisé, Alison Cotton, 梁奕源 Liang Yiyuan - 28 March 2022

Plenty of exceptional experimental workouts on this week’s
Independent Music Podcast, starting off with a wild change of
direction from Comité Hypnotisé, whose new record marks a wild
change of direction from last year’s Dubs Pour Oh La La – one of
our favourites from 2021. The new direction is equally
magnificent though, drawing on a wide range of influences to
create something great.


Across the pod, we have minimal drones from China’s 梁奕源 Liang
Yiyuan and an exclusive first play of the superlative OCH release
on Rocket Recordings. We also have a healthy dose of acid – with
the blistering track from Kharkiv artist Metadata, and the latest
from Part Chimp drummer Drumm Chimp.


Elsewhere, we have a cracking track from Nick Klein, raising
money for the Red Cross in Ukraine, an always-welcome return from
Solo Banton, a sublime avant folk masterpiece from Alison Cotton
and more.
