about

Independent Music Sampler #157

Aldora Britain Records proudly presents An Original Thinker, an eclectic collection of 25 independent and underground artists from all around the globe. This release's title comes from a 2010 biographical book about the legendary Thelonious Monk. This collection is dedicated to the iconic Tina Turner, thank you for the music.

We welcome back several old friends this week. Jonathan Balzano Brookes returns with the otherworldly folk rock sound of Phantom Buffalo, Nick Kelly contributes the driving indie rock of Alien Envoy, and there is the indie orchestral folk pop of Boo Sutcliffe. JDR & The Broadcast's Pete Jive arrives with his alternative Americana country folk, Mythical Motors unleash their lo-fi jangle pop bliss, and Brook Adams gives us some emotive traditional country sound. There is melodic indie folk pop from This Circus Life, upbeat singer-songwriter pop rock from Jackie K, and British indie folk rock from Richard Lucas.

Berry Donmark, an integral member of The Other Hit, contributes his emotive and smooth soft rock, Michel Borla gives us Francophone folk rock songwriting, and Sebastien Lacombe delivers his orchestral Francophone folk rock. There is the modern alternative rock sound of Landis St, the roaming alternative indie folk of Doctor Millar And The Beet Club, and the smooth melodic chanson Francaise of Sylvain Rollet. We have traditional quirky vocal jazz from Sarah Partridge, free-flowing contemporary jazz from the Mace Francis Orchestra, and worldly cyclone beat experimentation from Plasticine.

Our final returning artists and labels are Umlaut with Die Hochstapler's experimental avant garde jazz, Mint Biscuit with his lo-fi ambient indie folk, FIZZ with his grungy dark alternative rock, Anime Aliens with their crunching fuzzy punk rock, Air Show Disaster with their concept-based psychedelic rock, and Nasoni Records introduce us to the psychedelia of Liquid Orbit.

As always, please download, listen loud, dig deeper with your discoveries, and support Aldora Britain Records and independent music.

Tom @ Aldora Britain Records
