Popis - GRA:
Moses Sumney evades definition as an act of duty: technicolor videos and monochrome clothes; art rock and black classical; blowing into Fashion Week from a small town in North Carolina; seemingly infinite collaborators, but only one staggering voice. A young life spent betwixt Southern California and Accra, Ghana... not so much rootless as an epyphite, an air plant. The scale is cinematic but the moves are precise deeds of art and stewardship. Sumney's generous album, 'Græ', is an assertion that the undefinable still exists and dwelling in it is an act of resistance. To try to pin Sumney down on a sound - and really, on any matter - is to end up with a hand full of fog, but his genius is never allowing the set to sound like a hodgepodge. His double album expands upon the sonic universe built in Sumney's critically-acclaimed debut LP 'Aromanticism' and subsequent EP 'Black In Deep Red' from 2014. The songs on 'Græ' may be divergent, like the visceral, Smashing Pumpkins drama of 'Virile' and the intoxicated, outro jazz of 'Gagarin.' There's the kinky, ambiguous bop of 'Cut Me' countered with the sweeping, amphitheater-ready 'Bless Me.' But there's that voice, always unknowable and penetrating, threading these pieces together: a heavenly rasp, a whale call, Miles' horn, a soulful snarl. It all works to create a paradox, keeping art and artist somewhere between any one sure thing - but surely something that demands your attention affixed and your breath bated. All of this is 'Græ'.
