It’s sweet hellos and sad goodbyes on this week’s Independent Music Podcast as we welcome back Ragga Twins, who are releasing their first new record in 28 years, and the Jungle is as blistering as ever it was.

Not so blistering as ever it was is Not Waving, who continues his development into more thought-provoking downtempo electronics, bringing back frequent collaborator Marie Davidson on his latest. 

Elsewhere there’s stunning folk from Mary Hampton, beautiful psych guitar experimentation from Jon Richards, Israeli psych funk, and a lot more.

We also have the latest posthumous record from Jaimie Branch, which is poignant and as excellent as ever she was.

You can listen to the first six tracks for free. To listen to the full episode, get a huge back catalogue of music, and access to our live shows and Discord group, please join our Patreon: patreon.com/independentmusicpodcast. The podcast only survives with Patron support
