Bhajan Bhoy - Bhoy On The Wire (Cardinal Fuzz/Feeding Tube Records)

*** This post first appeared in TSMM's February 16th newsletter where you can get all the music tips and more first ***

Welcome to the Bandcamp underground. There is a ton of great music on Bandcamp that never sees the streaming platforms, and this is where you’ll find Bhajan Bhoy selling ultra limited vinyl runs and digital downloads of his music. His latest LP was recorded as a birthday gift for Steve Barker’s “On The Wire” radio show in April 2024, to thank him for 40 years of broadcasting ”simply the greatest radio show in the world” - quite a statement, and quite the gift.

Well that session is now available outside of the radio show and what a cosmic affair it is. His recordings all plough a peak time psychedelic furrow; from hazy interstellar ragas to lysergic dance music, hard out psychedelic rock and all sorts of kosmische mutations, but this new release is a pleasingly mellow affair that hovers around the ambient kosmische end of the drug addled musical spectrum, and is made all the more remarkable because he’s a one man band. Turn on, tune in a drop out.
