Gr'

Description

The singer with the extraordinary voice returns with a sprawling and avant-garde double album. Moses Sumney defies definition: technicolor videos and monochrome clothes, invitations to Fashion Week for a man who grew up in a small North Carolina town, seemingly endless collaborators, a life spent between Southern California and Accra, Ghana; but an astonishing voice. Sumney's new album, *græ*, is an affirmation that the undefinable still exists and that inhabiting it is an act of resistance. The songs on *græ* are diverse, ranging from the visceral drama of "Virile" to the drunken jazz outro of "Gagarin." There's the ambiguous bop of "Cut Me," counterbalanced by the incredible "Bless Me," already sounding arena-ready. But there's that voice, always penetrating, taking on a variety of forms. All of this contributes to creating a paradox, keeping the art and the artist in gray and uncertain areas. Hold your breath and dive into this work of art that is *græ*.
