The Film

by SUMAC & Moor Mother

The Film cover art

'The Film' merges the free-form, atmospheric sludge metal of SUMAC with the caustic spoken-word poetry and electronic textures of Moor Mother. The album's sprawling, largely improvisational compositions are built on a foundation of dissonant guitar drones and turbulent rhythms, serving as a chaotic backdrop for Moor Mother's lyrical explorations of systemic oppression and historical trauma. Engineered with a raw intensity, the recording balances the visceral collision of their distinct artistic styles, presenting a challenging and dense sonic narrative that eschews conventional song structure.
