The Overlooked Tracks Podcast

Every song begins somewhere—with a question, a memory, or an idea that refuses to stay quiet. Sometimes, discovering the music means getting to know the mind behind it.
Welcome to Episode 106 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. I’m Kenny Chiba, and today we’re connecting Japan and London for a conversation with Malcolm Galloway—musician, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist from Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate.
Alongside Mark Gatland, Malcolm creates music where progressive and alternative rock meet classical textures, minimalist patterns, and electronic exploration. Drawing on science, history, and science fiction, their songs invite us to listen closely, ask questions, and explore beyond the everyday.
Malcolm’s creative reach extends beyond the band. His classical compositions have aired on BBC Radio 3, his combined music and video artwork has been presented at London’s National Gallery, and his solo album Transitions earned a place among Sid Smith’s selections for Prog magazine’s albums of the year.
But a list of achievements can only tell us so much. Today, we’re making room for the person behind the recordings—the experiences that shaped him, the ideas that spark his imagination, and the curiosity that keeps his music moving.
So settle in, bring an open mind, and join us for a conversation across the waters.
This is the Overlooked Tracks Podcast—music you’ve been overlooking.

Sometimes, the quiet does not end.  It transforms.
In Episode 104, we slowed everything down. We took a breath, stepped away from the noise and allowed the music to bring us back toward ourselves.
But somewhere beyond that stillness, the sky began to change. 
A low rumble appeared in the distance. The clouds gathered. Amplifiers warmed up. Guitar
strings started to vibrate—and the magical music bus pulled back onto the road.
This is Episode 105 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast, and for this episode we are following the Signals Beneath the Noise.
These are independent artists creating progressive, alternative, psychedelic and cinematic rock—musicians still building their roads, finding their listeners and pushing their music beyond familiar borders.
We begin gently, but do not get too comfortable.
There is rolling thunder ahead.
You are listening to the Overlooked Tracks Podcast—music you’ve been overlooking.

For the last few episodes we've traveled across cities, countries, languages, cultures, and sounds.  We've crossed oceans.  
We've ridden the Magical Music Bus through neon streets, underground clubs, jazz cafés, rooftop parties, and late-night train stations.  But this time around...The bus is parked.
No passports required. No customs. No destination. Just a moment to remember who we are when the world gets quiet.  This episode is known as "The Space Between Songs."  
It's dedicated to anyone who's been moving too fast.
Anyone carrying a little too much.
Anyone trying to remember the person they were before the notifications, before the deadlines, before the endless scrolling.  Tonight we're slowing down.
Taking a breath.  And spending some time with artists who deserve far more attention than they're getting.  No superstar playlists.  No Top 100 countdowns. No algorithms telling us what we should hear.  Just great music.  Music created by artists whose work quietly changes lives one listener at a time.

The road begins quietly.  No loud announcements. No flashing lights. Just the soft hum of an engine… and the sense that something new is unfolding.  
This time around, the Magical Music Bus rolls into 4 countries — not with noise, but with rhythm. Places where melodies feel ancient, magical and futuristic at once. Outside the window, colors move like brushstrokes across these lands. Cars and Motorcycles hum around many cities, and  conversations drift through the air. Somewhere in the distance, a soulful voice rises and refuses to be ignored.
We’re not chasing charts this season.  We’re chasing the dreams hidden inside melodies, the desires carried in basslines, the quiet parts of ourselves that only music seems to understand. Let these tracks meet you where you are — and maybe help you discover who you’re becoming.  
From neo-soul whispers to indie R&B reflections and pop confessions that linger long after the last note, this journey moves through voices meant to travel beyond borders.  So take a seat. Let the world soften.
Find your window.  You’re riding with the Overlooked Tracks Podcast.  Season Seven — On the Road Again.
The journey is already in motion.
