In case you don't already know how cool Mutamassik is, The Wire is promoting this. That enough for ya?

About the recording, Mutamassik sez: "It still 'cannot be bought or sold' and I'm playing all the instruments, again, as opposed to sampling ghosts of my ancestors whose names I did not even know."

Here's the link to The Wire, which will link you to the downloads.

I don't, alas, have time to review the release, but I did review her album, Masri Mokkassar: Definitive Works here.

Mutamassik & Morgan Craft in Sweden

Check out this vid of Morgan Craft and Mutamassik performing at the Clandestino Festival in Gothenberg (Göteborg) Sweden. It's a kufiyaspotting; it's a desert camouflage spotting; it's avant-garde agit-prop. It reminds me, for some reason, of Jimi Hendrix doing "Machine Gun."(Thanks, Giulia.)
