Sumac - Two Beats - VINYL LP

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

Double vinyl LP pressing. Includes . Picking up where the band left off with 2018's critically acclaimed Love in Shadow, the trio of Aaron Turner (ISIS, Old Man Gloom), Brian Cook (Russian Circles), and Nick Yacyshyn (Baptists) push further into the extreme polarity of their sound with their latest collection of long-form composition and free-form exploration. Meticulously detailed and complex one moment, rudimentary and repetitive the next, and completely untethered and unscripted at seemingly random intervals - May You Be Held is an album that fluctuates between extreme discipline and control on one end and an almost feral energy on the other.

With an impressive amount of hits from their 15-year career, Hooverphonic felt that the time had come to perform their songs as they were originally intended together with a large symphonic orchestra. Simultaneously with the concerts, the group released Hooverphonic With Orchestra. For the recordings the group went into the studio together with the orchestra and the result is truly amazing! The album contains 17 of their biggest hits! From the wonderful 'Mad About You' to the impressive 'Eden', they're all included on this lovely vinyl edition. Hooverphonic With Orchestra is available as a limited edition of 1000 numbered copies on translucent green colored vinyl. LISTEN //youtu.
