Moor Mother – The Great Bailout (Deluxe)

Not the happiest record I have ever heard, but Philadelphia’s Moor Mother uses a sumptuous soundscape to air her grievances of past horrors.  This is a deep listen, and I’m sure I’ll come back to this a few more times before all is said and done.

Nkom Bivoué – Zeun Ya Yop

This one came as an unsolicited pleasant surprise.  I love Afrobeat and am slowly developing a healthy respect for Afro-House, and if I delve further into the genre, it’ll be because of artists like Cameroon’s Nkom Bivoué.

What is best about the disc is the absolutely sharp percussion of the album.  This is dance floor-ready material that you can also appreciate on its own merits.
