#385 – Marlowe, The Bug ft Jaimie Branch, Yao Bobby & Simon Grab, Algiers feat. Billy Woods & Backxwash, TAPAN, Usé - 3 October 2022

Good things come to those who wait, and multiple good things are coming at once on this week’s Independent Music Podcast. We have the absolutely blistering long-awaited LP from Yao Bobby and Simon Grab on Bristol’s LavaLava, and the third instalment of Marlowe – the project of L’Orange and Solemn Brigham – is also with us this week. Keeping it with great collaborations: Photay and Carlos Niño combine for a beautiful ambient jazz record on International Anthem, whilst The Bug’s latest collaborations record includes a stunning track from the late, great Jaimie Branch. There’s lots more: the debut release form B U N N Y – the new project of Daniel O’Sullivan, Rose Keeler-Schaffeler, and Thighpaulsandra; the stunning dub-mystic jazz record from Serbia’s TAPAN, weirdo French pop from Usé, and much more.
