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.
