Album Notes & Community Reviews

The critically acclaimed poet and activist crafts a harrowing, avant-garde exploration of Great Britain's historical complicity in the global slave trade and its lingering economic repercussions. The deeply unsettling, abstract soundscapes rely on chaotic electroacoustic noise, dark ambient textures, and fiercely confrontational spoken-word performances.
