Sumac & Moor Mother – The Film

The Philadelphian poet-musician-activist joins up with the North American power trio for a full-on free metal apocalypse

The audiences of 20th century music were often split by genre into cliques and factions. Of all the concepts around music, the 21st century seems to have ditched that quicker than a Trump tariff. Few artists embody the comprehensive breadth of genre-less music as masterfully as Moor Mother.

Her solo releases are rich and inventive, yet it’s her eclectic collaborations which best reveal her intentions. She’s recorded albums with underground rapper extraordinaire billy woods, and industrial dub as Zonal with The Bug and Justin Broadrick. Her free jazz work with Irreversible Entanglements is among the finest released by International Anthem, whilst 700 Bliss, her project with DJ Haram, brings hyper pop elements into woozy electronics.
