Jennifer Lucy Allan is at the decks for a vinyl-only journey through experimental sounds. There’s charming Occitan folk from Del Sauveterre, bizarre 'town crier' stylings from Chicago's Dave The Lightbulbman, Ghanaian high-life 12”s by 'the boy with the golden voice' Nana Agyeman Opambuo and Flexi-discs given away on the front of Japanese music magazines recorded by a barely there ‘mystery group’. Closer to home: a stretched orchestral thunder clap; post-punk dead stock delights from the ‘80s; and a game of ‘broken’ Telephone from Laura Cannell, Mark Fell, Rhodri Davies and Peter J Evans which sees the quartet attempt to recreate from memory what each participant had made after just one listen. Expect warm hearty crackle, tattered sleeves, liner notes galore and no help from Shazam… Produced by Alex Yates A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3 To listen on most smart speakers, just say “ask BBC Sounds to play Late Junction”.
