Today is a sad day as we announce that the Independent Music Podcast is going to stop producing at the end of the year.

It's been an incredible journey, over 13 years we've produced 439 episodes and championed 5,300 artists and labels at the outer reaches of music from (very nearly) every country on Earth.

We talk a little bit about why we're doing this on this week's podcast but - in short - it's high intensity to dig out music that very few others are talking about from far flung corners of the Earth, especially when it's not a career and seemingly has no way of becoming one.

HUGE THANKS to all our listeners, particularly our Patrons, who kept this going for longer than it otherwise would have, to The state51 Conspiracy for their unrelenting commitment to experimental music, and to Soundboy Audio for many years of editing and production work.

Even more thanks to all the artists and labels who create the actual art: you literally make life worthwhile for so many people.

We'll be doing three end of year shows, plus one (FREE) live show. We hope you join us

Even by our exacting standards, this episode of the Independent Music Podcast is out of this world. From experimental club music to DIY lofi garage rock, from Jewish folk music to airy baroque jazz, the music on this podcast really pushes the boundaries of classification.

Highlights abound, but whatever the hell Moth C**k are drinking needs posting our way, and the Melt-Banana-esque ferocity of industrial duo Sea Moss is a delightful return. Arcanist – on Nebraskan DIY specialists Moonworshipper is exceptional, whilst the first glimpse of the new record from Faten Kanaan is truly exquisite.

There’s a heavy antipodean influence on this week’s Independent Music Podcast, with a whole heap of wonderfully varied sounds with their roots in Oceania. From the stunning experimental folk of Maxine Funke, to the beautiful pop of Carla dal Forno, through to ‘horrible metal from YANWYTYA, there’s a broad spectrum of noise.

Elsewhere, Sarathy Korwar’s new record gets us off to a strong start, whilst the intercontinental drones and poetry of Karen & Peter transports us to the dusky landscapes of West Yorkshire and upstate New York. For the patrons we also have underground experimental hip-hop, crazy obtuse pop from Japan’s Hitomi Moriwaki, and more.
