“Moor Mother might be the most radical Afrofuturist artist to emerge for years” – The Wire

http s://moormother.bandcamp.com/

Recently, Moor Mother has moved towar d a more melodic and song-oriented approach, while still blending spoken w ord, experimental jazz, electronics, and radical poetry. Her album Jaz z Codes (2023) draws from her poetry project and pays tribute to jazz visionaries such as Woody Shaw and Mary Lou Will iams, combining layered vocals, atmospheric production, and free- form improvisation in collaboration with Swedish producer Olof Melander. On her latest full length album The Great Bailout (20 24), she expands this cinematic and haunting sound into a powerful meditat ion on colonial history, displacement, and collective memory, moving betwe en tenderness, noise, jazz abstraction, and poetic storytelling.

In ternationally renowned trumpeter Aquiles Navarro — also her ban dmate in Irreversible Entanglements and multi-faceted art ist in his own right— contributed to Jazz Codes as well as Ci rcuit City and Analog Fluids Of Sonic Black Holes, and later collaborated with Melander on the album Tangles (2024).
