“Moor Mother and SUMAC's respective styles complement each other phenomenally.”
“Describing an album as "genreless" or "genre-defying" can be a temptation rooted in cowardice — the fear of identifying something as ineffective in its attempt to place itself outside of context — or an ignorant unwillingness to pull on the various threads of influence. At its best, though, to call something "genre-defying" is to give a compliment of the highest order, shifting us away from modes ”
“SUMAC and Moor Mother take the past and present to task while outlining a future beyond the current confines. For the most part, the two make music that’s beyond the sum of its parts.”
