This show has more of an American emphasis than usual but what stands out about this episode is how many indie labels are represented on the playlist. The episode opens with Bhajan Bhoy, whose album is on Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records, followed by a self-released track from the Japanese band The Aztec Overdrive. The opening set also features White Hills from their new album on Cargo Records.
The second set opens with an interesting record from Otherworlders, who are on the Aural Canyon label. After that we’ll hear Endless Valley, which is being released on Copper Feast and Echodelick. Behind The Sun Collective is a self-release, but Hyper Tensions are on Let’s Pretend Records, and Dream Phases are on Coconut Spaceship.
The contemplative closing set starts with Plankton Wat on Feral Child Records, followed by Ulaan Janthina, which is one of Steven R. Smith’s projects. Most of his releases are on his own Worstward Recordings. This episode closes out with “Death Is Not The End” by Audjoins on the We, Here & Now! label.
#Alternative #EsotericElectronica #KosmischeGuitar #MelodicMantras #PsychMagick #SonicRagaTrips

TMODM: What has had the strongest influence on your music?
Bhajan Bhoy: well I cant really point my finger at one or more particular influences. The whole process of writing and recording a song is very organic….beginning with a germ of an idea in my head, or whilst playing an instrument, and then building on that. As you can probably hear, there isn’t one particular style of music per se, but a collection of pretty cool songs that ebb and flow between styles / genres / ideas.
TMODM: What are you working on now?
Bhajan Bhoy: I am currently working on a new set of songs for another album, which will feature female singers that I admire very much. It’ll be different to what I’ve done in the past, but that keeps me energised about moving forwards with music.
TMODM: What’s next for you?
Bhajan Bhoy: I will tour on the west coast of the USA in September, I will play in the American group Water Damage in November, and I will play with my duo CHELA (featuring Kohhei Matsuda of Bo Ningen) at Le Guess Who? festival. I will have a new BHAJAN BHOY Lp out on Feeding Tube Records / Cardinal Fuzz out at the start of next year. I also recorded a double album in a 15th century church in north England that I hope to have out in the spring of next year too
#Psychdedelic #PsychedelicRock
A Kyoto-based Psychedelic Rock Band
TMODM: What has had the strongest influence on your music?
Aztec Overdrive: Musically speaking, we’re heavily inspired by Proto-punk (The Velvet Underground, The Monks, MC5, etc.), Neo-psychedelia (Spacemen 3, The Dream Syndicate, Spiritualized, etc.), and Japanese Psychedelic Rock (High Rise, Acid Mothers Temple, The Niplets, etc.). As a composer, I usually get inspiration from psychedelic visual stuff like mandala, manga, illustrations. Japanese sci-fi manga“Ultra Heaven” by Keiichi Koike and illustrations and wall paintings by Ten Kashiwagi (who created our logo) are always my source of inspiration.
TMODM: What record changed your life?
Aztec Overdrive: “Sweet Heart Sweet Light” by Spiritualized. After I watched their show in Osaka on December 11th, 2012, that promoted the album, I decided to start my band for the first time in my life.
TMODM: What’s next for you?
Aztec Overdrive: We’re getting ready to release several EPs that follow our 1st EP “Live Studio Recordings Vol. 1”. This series features our sessions in a studio. We’re also planning to release some live albums after our debut gig in mid-September and a studio album probably by the end of the year.

White Hills are proponents of transformation through sound. The music made by Dave W. and Ego Sensation is risky and cutting edge, while being hyper-conscious of society’s constant desire for a new and better drug. Based in New York, New York.
TMODM: What had the strongest influence on Beyond This Fiction?
White Hills: The teachings of Joseph Campbell are the main influence behind our album Beyond This Fiction. The idea that you need to be willing to let go of the life you planned in order to have the life that is waiting for you. It is about riding between the opposites of the dualistic world view we are taught to believe in and opening yourself up to the possibility that there is a different way. It is here where you realize that it is within your grasp to experience the eternity of your own truth and being, and in turn understand that what you are was never born and will never die.
TMODM: What record(s) changed your lives?
White Hills: Cabaret Voltaire – Red Mecca
James Blood Ulmer – Are You Glad To Be An American
Nick Cave – From Her To Eternity.
James T. Pursey – Revenge Is Not The Password
…to name a few
TMODM: What’s next for you?
White Hills: At the moment we’re finishing up a project that will see the light of day in spring of 2025. At that time we will head out on tour to promote both Beyond This Fiction and this upcoming project.

TMODM: What had the strongest influence on hidden energy positive light?
Otherworlders: i’m not sure I can narrow it down to what had the most influence. Fir be what cones yo mind us a desire to exude positive light to outshine darkness, with music, was a driving force in the later stages of recording. The spirit of collaboration and creation.
If you ask Karl (trumpet), he might say tacos, Jimi Hendrix and miles Davis.
TMODM: What record changed your life?
Otherworlders: so many of them. To narrow it down to one is difficult.
All my favorite records throughout life have changed me in some way.
Going back in my youth, there were several that I consider turning points for me.
Metallica – master of puppets
Fugazi – repeater
Dinosaur Jr – Bug
The Flaming Lips – and a priest driven ambulance
Miles Davis – in a silence way
Miles Davis – live evil
My Bloody Valentine – Loveless
Faust – IV
Can- future Days
Spaceman 3- playing with fire
I’m still thinking about it, trying to narrow it down to one

TMODM: What had the strongest influence on The Place You Fell EP?

You can keep your dreams under wraps or unleash them into the world. For the three musicians who comprise Dream Phases, holding back their musical visions has not been an option. Conceived in the private recesses of their L.A. home base, the trio has expanded outwards by drawing upon the rich sonic heritage of West Coast pop/rock and skillfully reimagining it for the 21st Century. But beyond its finely wrought sound and texture, there’s an intensely personal quality to the work they create together. The dreams they explore transcend mere craft and calculation.
TMODM: What had the strongest influence on Phantom Idol?
Dream Phases: The biggest influence on this record was actually collaboration. This was the most we have co-written together on an album, so it was very much the blending of all of our individual influences. Although we have previously co-written songs the majority of older songs were written individually. On Phantom Idol nearly half of the album are co-writes. There is also a strong influence in the themes of the album, which were dealing with the shared experience of the pandemic and with that a great deal of self reflection and various responses to that.
TMODM: What record changed your life?
Dream Phases: It’s sort of a three way tie between Led Zeppelin IV, Green Day Dookie and the Beatles Sgt. Peppers. They all entered my life at different times, in the order I listed above and it felt as though each one completely changed my physiology. Led Zeppelin invigorated my love of music at around 5-7 and is the record I can point to as my awakening!
TMODM: What’s next for you?
Dream Phases: We are playing a bunch of shows and festivals this summer and fall to promote Phantom Idol and later this year we hope to start writing and recording new songs. We have a pretty sweet home studio set up now that we’ll be recording in. Hoping to get back to Europe/UK next year as well.

More recently Mahood played guitar with Eternal Tapestry, Edibles, Galaxy Research, Blood Biker, and bass with Jackie-O Motherfucker, Abronia, Rose City Band.
TMODM: You mention climate change as an influence on Corridors. Could you talk a little bit more about that? How are changes in the world reflected in your music?
Plankton Wat: Well, living here on the West Coast of America we are especially impacted by hotter dryer conditions, and a lot of damage from fire. First my childhood town of Paradise CA got completely destroyed, and now there is a massive fire outside my teenage home of Chico CA. It just keeps getting worse, it’s something always on my mind. I don’t have any solutions, but like to knowledge that this is something we are all dealing with, and offer some peace through my music.
TMODM: What’s next for you?
Plankton Wat: Plankton Wat has evolved over the past couple years into a 4 piece rock band, and our plan is to record a full band studio album this fall. Hopefully that sees the light of day next year. I also hope to do a little touring in the next year.

Audjoins is a drone artist based in Montreal, QC. Made up of loops, field recordings, synths, and love
TMODM: What had the strongest influence on Light Breaks In? and on Abundance?
Audjoins: The biggest influence on Light Breaks In is definitely Dylan Carlson. Between Earth and his solo work, his approach to drone, resonance and guitar is among my favourites. As for Abundance, a mix of Mary Oliver and Eliane Radigue! Been reading a lot of poetry from Mary Oliver and her close eye to the natural world made me want to integrate more field recordings into my work
TMODM: What record changed your life?
Audjoins: Oof that’s a toughie because there’s so many! If I had to choose one to highlight though, it would be Joyful Joyful’s self titled from 2022. Cormac’s voice is so transcendental in how it mingles with the bird song and soft drones made by their bandmate. Incredible stuff
TMODM: What’s next for you?
Audjoins: Plucking away at a hymnal album. I grew up in the church so hymns have a special place in my heart for sure. Unsure what the sound will be like but definitely still drone based
