Damon Locks - Black Monument Ensemble - "The Colors That You Bring"

I'll be playing another selection on my show tomorrow night, but right now "The Colors That You Bring" is the only track from Where Future Unfolds available for streaming.

BUT OH WHAT A SONG.

It's a great entry-point to the expansive music that Damon Locks - Black Monument Ensemble craft. And I do mean 'craft' - there's an attention to detail, but also a hand-hewn quality to this spiritual-jazz record that is infused with the spirit of its creators. Sometimes - as on "The Future?" - it can feel a little sloppy, but at other points it simply hums with the collective energy and talent that sound & visual artist Damon Locks and collaborators including Angel Bat Dawid (who is a force on her own record) among others.

 The full-length drops May 31st on the always reliable International Anthem.
