SUMAC and Moor Mother

Poet and rapper Moor Mother has collaborated with all manner of artist in the past, and on the upcoming new album "The Film," finds herself aligned with post metal supergroup SUMAC.  Expect an intense, noisy, and weird time.  Listen to "Scene 1" below and pre-order the LP here from Thrill Jockey.

Moor Mother

It's pretty impossible to pin down Philadelphia artist Moor Mother into any particular genre, and that continues with the upcoming new album "The Great Bailout."  Check out the dense, layered, and sprawling new track "Guilty," featuring Lonnie Holley and Raia Was, a 10-minute long sparse work of free jazz, poetry, and hypnotic sonic weirdness.  Listen below and pre-order the album here from Anti- Records.

Moor Mother

The enigmatic poet, rapper, and producer Moor Mother continues the prolific streak with the upcoming new album "Black Encyclopedia of the Air."  Check out the weird and earthy "Obsidian" featuring Pink Siifu below and pre-order the album here from Anti- Records.

Moor Mother & Billy Woods

Philadelphia artist and poet Moor Mother is a master of dark and creeping hip-hop, fusing all manner of sounds together into an often haunting but completely organic sonic tapestry.  On her latest collaborative effort "Brass," the artist teams with New York rapper Billy Woods to create something both eerie and ethereal, a real hypnotic piece of work.  Check out "The Blues Remembers Everything the Country Forgot" featuring Wolf Weston below and download the album here from BackwoodzStudioz.  The upcoming vinyl is already sold out.

Moor Jewelry

Moor Jewelry is the collaborative project of Moor Mother and Metal Jewelry.  New album "True Opera" is a short blast of noise and raw punk rock, and it rips.  Get it here from Don Giovanni Records and listen to "Look Alive" below.

Moor Mother

I kept seeing the name Moor Mother pop up over the last few months and thought to myself that the moniker alone made it sound like something i would want to check out.  I was correct.  Fusing drone, hip-hop, dark ambient tones, and noise, the music of Moor Mother sounds like some dark and mutated thing that oozed its ways out of some heretofore undiscovered netherworld.  Check out the crawling, hissing album opening "Repeater" below and grab the new "Analog Fluids of Sonic Black Holes" LP here from Don Giovanni Records.
