The bold yin is back with the most fucked & difficult & beautiful shit in the game. 2 hours of temporal shapeshifting and Nancarrow worship to (re)imagine musical, political and queer horizons. An electric shock in a sea of tasteful gibberish. Do it: sunikkim.bandcamp.com/album/formen...

Arming Israel. Bombing Yemen. Cutting aid.

This government’s obsession with militarism is out of control — and it is the poorest people in the world paying the price.
