Here is what is currently playing on Dandelion Radio
 Leo Gilbert Again
The second October show from Leo begins with The Notwist looking directly into the machinery of existence and discovering an X-ray. From there, things deteriorate.
Chanel Beads sends a message to someone, possibly from inside a haunted answering machine, while Nuhara opens a ceremonial portal somewhere in Corsica. HIGHSIGH, with Max Jaffe , asks us to consider the words we choose, which is unfortunate because by this point language has already begun leaking out of the walls.
Arab Strap introduce some Glamour Magick. Black Doldrums repeat themselves until reality starts buffering, followed by Grace Cummings , who announces, with admirable directness, that something is FAKE. Senyawa then appear to set fire to the concept of rhythm.
Martin Green and One Must Forget provide further evidence that folklore and existential dread can share a bus shelter. Mannequin Pussy bark loudly. Dylan Henner phones his friends so they can sing harmonies over the distance. FRANTX supplies three mysterious letters. The Strokes are lonely in the future, which sounds about right.
Then The Avalanches summon Karen O from the Blue Shadows, Clark rearranges the moons, and Kai Whiston swings from crimson ropes.
Datblygu remind us that Welsh pop can still sound like a radio transmission from a parallel universe. Marcioz awards proceedings 6/10. Réka Csiszér & Radwan Ghazi Moumneh count to six. mary in the junkyard invoke the mantra. Julia Holter loses something.
Finally, Tommy Barlow, VESTALE VESTALE & RAY BORNEO, Hora Lunga and Obaako drag us towards the natural force that attracts things towards the Earth.

Dylan Henner - Sometimes I Call My Friends and We Sing Harmonies over the Phone
| Image from Discogs  Dylan Henner appeared on the ambient scene in 2020 with cassette- and digi-only releases for Brighton-based Phantom Limb, Belgian label Dauw and for the label formerly known as Whities. Henner is not to keen on promoting himself on socials, instead choosing to communicate mostly through wondrously imaginative soundscapes and dito visual artwork. Henner’s first full vinyl longplayer ’The Invention of the Human’ attempts to tackle a set of basic philosophical questions – what exactly makes us human? What good is civilisation when there’s so much misery attached to it? How will technology affect humanity in the long run? – through the mind and soundcard of a computer. The result is a collection of superbly constructed human-not-human soundscapes built from synthesized vocals that are morphed into two pocket symphonies, with moods ranging from serene and cerebral to alienated and desolate, referencing classic Japanese ambient and more recent Visible Cloaks material.
