#397 – Marlene Ribeiro, King Ayisoba, Wolf Eyes, Za!, Kate NV, Seaming - 16 January 2023

We’re taking most of January off, but are making the most of a gap between our holidays to showcase some of the most exciting independent music of 2023 so far. From raw kologo power from Ghana’s King Ayisoba, to transcendental psychedelia from Portugal’s Marlene Ribeiro, via sublime drones, raucous metal, whatever you’d categorise Za! as, and a whole lot more.
