Sumney, Moses
Grae (2lp)
Moses Sumney's double album 'Græ' defies labels, blending art rock with black classical and offering a cinematic, boundary-pushing experience. Rooted between Southern California and Ghana, Sumney's work thrives in the undefinable, a "grey" space of resistance. On 'Græ,' he builds on his acclaimed debut 'Aromanticism,' mixing genres: the visceral rock of 'Virile,' the jazzy 'Gagarin,' the ambiguous bop 'Cut Me,' and the grand 'Bless Me.' Sumney's voice - ethereal, raw, soulful - unifies these pieces, creating an intricate, captivating paradox that demands attention in this uniquely in-between space.
