Good things come to those who wait, like those of us who have waited six years for new Evian Christ material. That being said, good things come to those of us who can’t wait either, and – just six months after their debut masterpiece – the Japanese folklore-French prog collaboration PoiL Ueda have another exceptional, outlandish record for you.

Elsewhere, Iranian poetry electronics, abstract footwork, absolutely stunning Slovak-Hungarian folk, and Mexican Alien House music round us off.

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
