Drowned in Sound

Independent music journalism investigating streaming economics, AI ethics, climate justice, and platform power.

Drowned in Sound explores what happens when music collides with politics and systems of power. Hosted by Sean Adams, featuring conversations with artists, organisers, journalists, and cultural thinkers — asking how music is made, who it serves, and who benefits.

Artists we adore include Björk, Brian Eno, Massive Attack, The Cure's Robert Smith, St. Vincent, ANOHNI, Kelly Lee Owens, Nova Twins — not just as creators, but as people navigating and challenging systems around them.

Covering electronic, techno, ambient, experimental, indie, alternative, post-rock, shoegaze, art-pop, and politically engaged music, alongside global scenes overlooked by mainstream coverage.
