SUMAC and Moor Mother dropped Scene 4, the latest peek into their full‑length cinematic collaboration, ‘The Film’. Imagine Sovie’s soaring harmonies weaving through SUMAC’s seismic riffs and Moor Mother’s hypnotic spoken‑word currents—electronics buzzing beneath it all. It’s a slow‑burn build that snaps and soars, demanding you lean in for every pulse and swell.
Why call it a Film?
Moor Mother nails it: this isn’t just an album, it’s a narrative—an immersive art piece that can’t be shoehorned into streaming playlists or bite‑sized singles. Themes of land, displacement, climate, human rights and the struggle against the violent structures of empire thread through every track, pulling you deeper into their shared vision.
