Le Motel - Odd Numbers / Số Lẻ
New release on Balmat. From Bandcamp:
Le Motel—who runs the Brussels-based record label Maloca—gathered sounds, photographs, and videos while traveling in Vietnam in 2023. From Hanoi he ventured to Hmong communities in the mountains near the border with China, building out a network of contacts gathered from friends and friends of friends. But Odd Numbers / Số Lẻ—which takes its title from traditional Vietnamese numerological beliefs and customs—is wholly unlike the extractive product typical of exploitative modes of Western tourism; the album’s final shape was deeply dependent upon the participation of the people the artist met in Vietnam… Among the album’s diverse collaborators are Yvonne Quỳnh-Lan Dương, an educator and ethnomusicologist; Chi Chi, the daughter of a Hmong shaman; and Phapxa Chan, who contributes three poems inspired by landscape and Le Motel’s own music (and, in one case, psychedelics).

Marie Davidson - City of Clowns
Sixth album from the Canadian producer and DJ. According to The Quietus,
City of Clowns re-embraces the precise, machine-tooled techno and strutting electroclash of 2018’s Working Class Woman, but there’s a stronger sense of both the personal and the political here – not to mention a clear distrust of big tech and the insidious way it has come to monetize and dominate our lives.

Mdou Moctar - Tears of Injustice
Acoustic reworkings of last year’s excellent Funeral for Justice album.
In July of 2023, Mdou Moctar was on tour in the United States when the president of Niger, Mohamed Bazoum, was deposed by a military junta who made him prisoner at the presidential residence. They ordered the nation’s borders closed, leaving band members Mdou Moctar, Ahmoudou Madassane, and Souleymane Ibrahim unable to return home to their families. Plans to record a companion to Funeral for Justice – then still many months from release – had been in the works already, but the idea now took on new urgency and gravity. Two days after the tour wrapped in New York City, the quartet began tracking Tears of Injustice at Brooklyn’s Bunker Studio with engineer Seth Manchester.
