Moor Mother's new album 'Analog Fluids Of Sonic Black Holes' - "fight for equality is not done, but rages in our ears"

American poet, musician, and activist Moor Mother last week released her fourth solo record 'Analog Fluids Of Sonic Black Holes', where she "returns to the lie of a post-racial America", as Guardian hears it. "Some of her poetry, sometimes verging into rap, could be chanted through a bullhorn at a protest", with the beats "stunningly realised: collages of sawing strings, tones of meandering frequency, and drums that gallop like a horse let loose to nowhere". TrebleZine sees light in darkness and chaos - "Moor Mother’s story of endurance is one that doesn’t seek escape from the truth, instead acknowledging that the path forward means confronting it head on". Clash Music has the most affirmative review: "The record is the most realised and singularly minded vision yet from the Moor Mother project".
