Mopcut Feat MC Dälek

Show & Culture

Is it noise? Jazz? Free improvisation? Rock 'n roll? Minimalism? Sound art? Punk? Mopcut's third album is their most divergent, most hybrid work in terms of genres to date, a record that mischievously slips through the broad experimental scene, devouring its innovations and spitting out any superfluous conceptual fat. Featuring avant-garde hip hop pioneer MC Dälek, Philadelphia poet and activist Moor Mother, and turntablist and composer Mariam Rezaei as guests, "RYOK" moves between various interconnected movements, constantly mutating and reinventing itself throughout the process. With an exceptional, stretchable, and powerfully embodied voice, and a stunt-like approach to the electric guitar, Zoe Heselton alone sings what might be called songs for lack of a better word, but which are vertigos, falls from heights, dances to get back up. Within resonates everything that has always vibrated in the blues.
