www.mixcloud.com/thesoundFM/i... In my new Indiescovery show, a bunch of new tracks all clearly inspired by Stereolab; albums of the month from Tremours and Night Party; and lots more from the likes of Momma, Adwaith, Pale Blue Eyes & Kestrels. Enjoy!

Night Swimming @nightsswimming.bsky.social are clearly massive Sundays fans so really nice to hear this cover at Signature Brew Haggerston the other night. Lead singer Meg does kind of channel Harriet Wheeler! (NB. they do their own lovely dream pop too! Go listen!)

Super-catchy indie pop-rock from the excellent Dutch Mustard at Signature Brew Haggerston the other night. Thanks @johnkennedydj.bsky.social for making it happen!

mixcloud.com/thesoundFM/ind… It's a quiet time for new music so in my new Indiescovery show, I travel back 40 years to 1985 and showcase the best indie, alternative (& some shameless pop) from that year. Think The Smiths, The Cure, The Cult, Kate Bush, Lloyd Cole & some obscure stuff you won't know.
