What's up, everyone? This is Kenny Chiba, and welcome to episode #83 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. Today, I’ve got some Alternative and Indie Pop lined up for you. Normally, I'd be heading off to a new destination around the world to bring you music from different regions, but life had other plans—I ended up catching COVID and was down for about a week and a half. It all started while I was in Tokyo, where I found an amazing record shop in the Harajuku district. If you want to check out what I picked up, just head over to my Instagram, @overlookedtracks.
I was super pumped about the vinyl I scored, but once I got home—COUGH, COUGH—I started feeling awful and spent the next few days in bed, like a sick dog. Still not 100%, but I'm well enough to bring you some killer tracks today, ones you might have overlooked, and to shine a light on some incredible artists out there making waves in the music universe.

The past few months have been wonderfully lazy, with the summer heat making it hard to get much done. Life gets so busy during this season, both personally and professionally. But one thing that has kept me going is music. Music is such an inspiring force, especially when things get tough and hard to navigate. For me, your host of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast, Kenny Chiba, life without music would be, well, quite dull.
Just like in episode #81, we’re keeping it simple and pure with sounds you might have heard before or perhaps new artists showcasing their talents. Either way, the music will be fresh, and as you let these vibes wash over you, feel free to reach out to the artists and ask for more. It’s straightforward and to the point.

In this episode, we're stripping things down and focusing on what truly matters: the music. There's something powerful about simplicity, about cutting through the noise and distractions to get to the heart of what we're here for—the sound, the rhythm, the melody that moves us. By keeping it simple, we're allowing the music to speak for itself, to take center stage without any unnecessary frills or complications. This approach not only highlights the raw beauty of the tracks we’re sharing but also reminds us of why we fell in love with music in the first place. It's about connecting with the essence of sound, the emotions it evokes, and the stories it tells.
On a personal level, keeping it simple is also a way to find peace within ourselves. Life can be chaotic, filled with demands, stress, and endless to-do lists. By simplifying our focus—whether it's in music or in life—we can create a space where we can breathe, reflect, and reconnect with what brings us joy. It’s about letting go of the unnecessary and embracing what truly matters, finding harmony in the basics. By doing so, we not only enhance our appreciation for the music but also cultivate a sense of calm and contentment within ourselves.
