Australia's All India Radio is an Ambient Electronic/Post-Rock project helmed by songwriter/producer Martin Kennedy whose sound straddles the line between '60s psychedelia, '70s Krautrock, and contemporary styles from downtempo to chillgaze. All India Radio first gained attention issuing a series of evocative, often cinematic recordings in the 2000s, including The Inevitable, Permanent Evolutions, and The Silent Surf. All India Radio's music has been used on TV shows like CSI: Miami, One Tree Hill, The Lying Game, and Emmerdale, among others. Kennedy has also played with the Church's singer Steve Kilbey for a series albums, including 2014's sci-fi soundtrack The Rare Earth and 2017's Glow and Fade.

There is a mesmerising aura to All India Radio‘s absolutely magnificent album ‘Afterworld’ that spills forth a series of incredible beautiful moments that glitter and shine. This is an album that immediately send you into a blissful reverie with its quiet, ambient movements that are emotional and affecting. The album is a connecting whole – not one to be dipped into but rather one to immerse oneself into and travel to the interplanetary realms it creates in the imagination.
2008 release from the Australian band, their fifth album overall. All India Radio mix a little Portishead with a dash of Boards Of Canada and Cinematic Orchestra to create the breathtaking soundscapes. This album represents the next step in the band's evolution with the addition of singer/co-writer Leona Prue to the lineup. While the music draws on the lush atmospheric qualities of previous albums, Leona's thoroughly entrancing voice adds a new focus, creating a warm and expansive landscape of music, melody and voice. Guests include Graham Lee (from The Triffids and classic KLF albums Chill Out and The White Room).
Long awaited second ambient album from Martin Kennedy's All India Radio and pianist Josh Roydhouse. R E A L M exists somewhere in between the melodic minimalism of Brian Eno and Harold Budd and the grainy electronics of Boards Of Canada.
