Brute

by Fatima Al Qadiri

Brute cover art

Centered on the themes of authority, police brutality, and civil unrest, 'Brute' utilizes a cold, clinical electronic palette to examine the aesthetics of control. The record famously incorporates field recordings of protest chants and police-civilian interactions, weaving them into sparse, metallic grime structures. This conceptual work furthered the artist's exploration of sociopolitical landscapes through the medium of avant-garde club music and cinematic sound design.
