Moor Mother is releasing a new album later this week, called Circuit City.

Due out via Don Giovanni Records, the album sees the artist, real name Camae Ayewa, backed by members of her Chicago free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements and the Circuit City Band. Above, you can find a short film for the album's lead track, 'Act 1 – Working Machine', with the album comprising four separate acts in all.

"Circuit City is the recorded soundtrack of a staged-production of the same name, set in a living room in a futurist corporate-owned apartment complex," a press release shared by Don Giovanni says.

The work dates back to last year, but is now seeing its first wide release. Described as "part musical, part choreopoem, part play," the work was composed "to address and eliminate systemic problems associated with the injustice of housing rights, public vs. private ownership, and technology," the press release adds.

Writer Rasheedah Phillips wrote an essay last year to go alongside the original commission of Circuit City. You can read it in full here.

Don Giovanni will release Circuit City on September 25, 2020.
