Matana Roberts — Coin Coin Chapter Four: Memphis
“I am a child of the wind…”
Album of the year 2019.
Release date: October 18, 2019
Genres: avant-garde, avant-garde jazz, poetry, spoken word
Highlight: Trail of the Smiling Sphinx
It was a few weeks ago that I was consumed by this album. I am looking forward to going back. To the story told by Matana Roberts. To the overall atmosphere. In a certain sense, there is a connection to contemporary works by other Constellation‘s avant-garde musicians.
Listen. Listen to previous chapters. There supposed to be eight more.
Citing her Bandcamp page:
I am a mixed media sound artist, saxophonist and composer. I do not live in Indonesia, but band camp won’t let me just say “Earth”. I also tried “Saturn”, but that didn’t work either:). Thank you for supporting my work.
Algiers — “Can the Sub_Bass Speak?”
Release date: August 27, 2019
Genres: avant-garde jazz, poetry, spoken word
Hilarious poetry and experimentation from Algiers. The song will not be on the new album, however. Indeed, the later Dispossession single is of completely different nature.
Black Country, New Road
A heavy Slint influence (it’s good). The only released song. There are live recordings which are pretty awesome.
