Moor Mother – Fetish Bones (2016, US)

As randomly chosen by survey[1] on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 684 on The List, submitted by platenworm.

I think it would be a disservice to attempt to sum up this album, the debut from poet, visual artist, and musician Moor Mother aka Camae Ayewa. Like all of Moor Mother’s work, it’s a difficult listen, some might think it requires CWs. But it’s a necessary listen. Her work is necessary. It’s truth, it’s harsh, it’s protest in sonic form. As the Bandcamp description says:

Fetish Bones is not an album meant to help you forget. It is made so that you will remember the injustices that we bear witness to and participate in.

If you dig this one, I highly recommend going down the Moor Mother/Camae Ayewa rabbit hole. Perhaps track down Ayewa’s debut book of poetry of the same title, also released in 2016. Or check out other Moor Mother releases, such as that from last year, The Great Bailout (which made my personal AOTY list). Or look up her various collabs, such as her collab with ZONAL or her collab with SUMAC coming out in April (thanks Pauxlll for those tips!). Or take a while to peruse the website for the Black Quantum Futurism collective, “an interdisciplinary practice founded by Camae Ayewa and Rasheedah Phillips that synthesizes quantum physics with Afrodiasporic principles and ontologies of time, space, ritual, text, and sound, yielding an innovative framework for the creation of counterhistories and alternate futures.” Or look up the free jazz group Ayewa is in, Irreversible Entanglements (my entry point to Ayewa), perhaps starting with their 2017 s/t or their AMAZING 2024 Tiny Desk Concert. I swear, if you have 27 minutes and click on that last link, you might even find yourself equipped with some courage, perhaps even a smidgen of hope, to face what’s coming, what’s here.

  1. The survey choices that initially led to this spotlight were “You’re the letter from Jesus on the bathroom wall”, “You’re mother superior in only a bra”, and “You’re the same kind of bad as me”, after an earlier survey with “You’re the head on the spear”/“You’re the nail on the cross”/“You’re the fly in my beer”/“You’re the key that got lost”. The second option was the winning selection, and so the survey result was translated as picking the second album in The List that contained a word in the phrase – in this case, “mother”. ↩

The album cover is a black and white photo of the artist looking at the camera, wearing dark cloth wrapped around their head and face, with a veil of white net material draped over that and covering the right eye, and held closed with their right hand. The background is blurry but looks like they're standing in front of a door. The artist name is in black font in the top right corner, with the album name in smaller font directly below.

Was listening to Moor Mother, which led to finding this amazing Irreversible Entanglements Tiny Desk Concert from last year. :ablobjam:

#IrreversibleEntanglements on the cover of a new issue of The Wire. I look forward to reading..

Irreversible Entanglements a jazz group sitting in a room, as pictured on a cover of the UK’s The Wire magazine. There are five members, one black female, three black males and one white male. They’re all glaring into the camera in a somewhat serious manner.

Irreversible Entanglements are killing it. Protect Your Light is all I could have ever wanted from them and more. On my 6th listen in 24hrs. Breathtaking. AOTY level stuff
