Brass

by Moor Mother & billy woods

Brass cover art

'Brass' is an otherworldly collaboration that unites Moor Mother's jagged, Afrofuturist poetics with the stoic, historically dense lyricism of billy woods. The production is abstract and haunting, weaving together a disparate range of dissonant, jazz-inflected soundscapes that often feel both ethereal and abrasive. The artists trade intricate, stream-of-consciousness verses that explore themes of colonialism, ancestral trauma, and Black history with a challenging and uncompromising focus.
