We're camping this weekend & I made my radio show in a tent at 7am. Felt obscene to break the silence of our coffee-scented field so just music this week. Songs from @sunnyintervals.bsky.social, @redcavalry.bsky.social, @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social, Matching Outfits, Fall Breaks, Pete Atkin & more.

Square flyer for Fresh Ingredients, my indie pop radio show, using Allen Ginsberg’s black-and-white photograph of Gary Snyder in Kyoto in summer 1963: Snyder at rest in a café on Juniken-doro Street, in the Kita-ku section near Daitoku-ji temple, where he studied. Over the grainy archival image, large orange text reads: “I put this show together in a tent at 7.30am, a silent dewy field drinking coffee and reading Gary Snyder — so it’s a show of songs, no talking.” Beneath it is the Snyder line: “Lay down these words / before your mind like rocks.” The show title Fresh Ingredients appears in huge lime-green lettering, with the subtitle You Can Visit, But You Cannot Stay in white, and a red badge reading “an indie pop radio show.” This week’s programme includes Sunny Intervals, Camberwell Group, Grolixes, Harbour, Fall Breaks, Alistair James, Trabant, Red Cavalry, Hen Ogledd, Matching Outfits, Niranjan Casinader and Goodbye Wudaokou.

New album next month. It's custom to flog it relentlessly. But our Algorithmic Overlords will bury me if I do. Now, just what is a feller supposed to do in such a situation? Definitely DO NOT listen to the 1st song and/or pre-order on Bandcamp. (But do it anyway.) 😉🤫 #NewMusic #IndieMusic #Bandcamp

My new album C-PTSD is out for pre-order on Bandcamp. Ten tracks built from drums outwards, driven through broken old gear and tape machines until sound collapsed into grit and decay. Deliberately crunchy, muddy and lo-fi. It breathes, wobbles & distorts. #indiemusic #newmusic #artrock #bandcamp

On the radio in an hour & a quarter! I seemed to get away with playing some jazz on #FreshIngredients recently so this week I’ve chucked the baby out with the bathwater & put together a much more adventurous set - weird Japanese pop, 60s soul, hip hop & rare groove! AND some brilliant indie pop. 7pm

Episode 16 of Fresh Ingredients goes out tomorrow at 7pm on untidyradio.com and it's an eclectic departure from your usual programming: soul, french pop, hip hop, nocturnal whispers & day-glo melancholy. AND stuff from The Pastels, @somehappything.bsky.social, The Siddeleys and Clementine March x

Dans le nouveau épisode de Fresh Ingredients, we have une bizzaro collection de impulsive pop — springy, funky, jazzy et un peu bizarre. Brought to you, comme toujours, par votre correspondant très fatigué, Jonathan.
