  Natalia Beylis

  Martin Newell (The Cleaners From Venus)

  Jun 19, 202537 minS3

  <p>Today we’re meeting the jangling man, Martin Newell, a songwriter, poet and author - sometimes referred to as "the godfather of lo-fi music". In the early 1980s, Martin began recording under the name The Cleaners From Venus.

Quintessentially English in subject matter and undeniably melodic in production, for many Martin Newell is a missing link in popular music - a vital outlier and a testament to doing it yourself.</p> <p>You can support Ma...
