Moor Mother

**Frownland** · 10-18-2016, 01:54 PM

Moor Mother has been self-releasing albums since 2012, but came into full force with her first full length from Don Giovanni records, Fetish Bones. She has this great approach to noisy hip hop that's somewhat accessible while still being a demanding listen. It's an angry, distorted, complex, stream-of-consciousness riddled, masterpiece of an album that's getting way too little hype around here.

For fans of dalek, clipping., Matana Roberts, Sun Ra, Death Grips, and good music.

Fetish Bones is really something special and has become my album of the year after several listens.

I'm such a stickler when it comes to hip hop so when she mixes it with noise and distortion which is another genre I love, it works. Definitely one of the cooler releases I've heard this year.

No but I'll certainly make a note of it.

Is that what it is about clipping. that doesn't do it for me?

This does it for me like ****.

I think so. I have friends who I know would never listen to experimental music but love a few clipping songs, so yeah.

Might be my favorite track off Fetish Bones: https://moormothergoddess.bandcamp.c...adbeat-protest

It's so good!

My favourite is the opener. It's the most abstract and it's the most powerful.

My one criticism of the album is that the closer, Time Float, sounds really out of place on the record.
