About this product
What happens when you combine SUMAC a band that uses the volume, distortion, and guitar-centric approach of metal to make music that has the malleability of jazz and textural exploration of noise with Moor Mother a poet and sound artist that has deconstructed hip hop to a point where it's less about rhyme and rhythm (though obviously both are present in her work) and more about oratorical cadence and power. The Film is an album that takes attributes of both artists' work and finds common ground in shifting musical patterns, and expressive force. The record is a musical thumbing of their noses at the more traditional approaches of their respective fields, an innovative, powerhouse of an album.The Film's moniker speaks to the fact that it is conceived and delivered as a complete album, a full story or narrative. Moor Mother puts it best InchThe idea is to create a moment outside of the convention. This is a work of art. Thinking about the work as a Film, instead of an album or a collection of songs. This task is impossible in an industry that wants to force everything into a box of consumption. You won't understand or get the full picture until the artwork is completed. This work is developing and is requesting more agency within the creative process.Inch The Film does have clear themes running throughout - again Moor Mother expounds Inchthe themes are universal in nature - land - displacement - the climate - human rights and freedoms - war and peace - the idea of running away from the many violent forces and horrific systems of man and empire.Inch

ATO Records has signed The Belle Brigade and will the band's new album, Just Because, on March 25, 2014. Barbara and Ethan Gruska - the Los Angeles-based siblings who founded the band - recorded the album with engineer/co-producer Shawn Everett. Bram Inscore and Blake Mills, who also performed on The Belle Brigade's debut album, joined them in the studio and they once again enlisted the mastering talents of the legendary Bob Ludwig. See below for the track listing. The Belle Brigade's self-titled debut (co-produced with Matthew Wilder) was hailed as one of the best albums of 2011 by PASTE. Ann Powers, writing for the Los Angeles Times, took note of the Inchmemorable voices and considerable charisma within songs that gleam with hooks and pour over with earnest emotionInch while Newsday praised the album's Inchsun-kissed '70s SoCal soundInch and SPIN observed, InchThe brother and sister team from LA, bring beautiful harmonies to their quirky folk rock.Inch the two gifted songwriters - who find inspiration in the works of Peter Gabriel, John Lennon, the Beach Boys, Sly Stone, Harry Nilsson, to name a few - penned 10 songs for Just Because, writing some together and others independently. The music is artfully arranged, with enticing melodies and pop harmonies, fueled by the interplay of driving rhythms between Barbara's drums and Ethan's guitars. Ethan has recorded as a vocalist and multiinstrumentalist for many Los Angeles-based artists and Barbara is a sought-after drummer who has played with Fiona Apple, Jenny Lewis, Benji Hughes and many others.
