Info for The Great Bailout
Moor Mother ist eine amerikanische Musikerin, Dichterin und interdisziplinäre Künstlerin, die für ihr avantgardistisches und experimentelles Werk bekannt ist. The Great Bailout ist eine ausgedehnte Meditation, die als nicht-lineare Wortkarte über Kolonialismus, Sklaverei und Kommerz in Großbritannien fungiert. Mit Gastbeiträgen von Lonnie Holley, Angel Bat Dawid & Sistas of the Nitty Gritty, Vijay Iyer, Mary Lattimore und anderen ist es die bisher kompromissloseste Vision von Moor Mother.
Moor Mother ist bekannt für ihre einzigartige Mischung aus Spoken Word, Noise und elektronischer Musik, die sich mit Themen wie Rasse, Geschlecht und soziopolitischen Fragen auseinandersetzt. Sie stammt aus Philadelphia und ist eine einflussreiche Figur in der pulsierenden Kunst- und Musikszene der Stadt. Ihre Alben wurden von der Kritik gelobt, die ihren furchtlosen Umgang mit Klängen und ihre zum Nachdenken anregenden Texte auf Alben wie "Jazz Codes" und "Analog Fluids of Sonic Black Holes" lobte, auf denen sie ihre grenzüberschreitenden Klangexperimente vorstellte.
The Great Bailout" ist eine eindringliche, erbauliche Erfahrung, die aus einem generationenübergreifenden Trauma, politischer Wut und Leid entstanden ist. Der echolastige Gesang und die experimentelle Komposition machen das Album zu einem Spiegelkabinett - eine eindringliche Konfrontation mit einer hässlichen Vergangenheit, aus der es keinen Ausweg gibt. Sein Kontrapunkt ist ein Gefühl der Stärke. Dadurch entsteht ein tiefes Gefühl der Genesung, eine Wiederherstellung der Freiheit." (Puja Nandi, thequietus.com)
