Hear some of the best performances from the Soundcheck Podcast series from 2020, despite 2020. From the WNYC Studio, listen to the mighty and relentless groove of Brooklyn's funky Afrobeat band Antibalas, and the dark drone of "Dublin folk miscreants," Lankum. From elsewhere, there's also a tune from John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats, who took it back to the boombox recording era early in quarantine. Then, revisit the warm and mesmerizing voice of Boston-based folk-pop songwriter Anjimile. Plus, hear the looped electronic swirl and ominous rumble of the layered violin and vocals by Kazakh-British violinist and composer Galya Bisengalieva, from London.
