Mdou Moctar are releasing a new album, Tears Of Injustice.
Spanning eight tracks, the new record sees the band produce an alternate version of their recently released LP, Funeral For Justice, re-recorded and rearranged for acoustic and traditional instruments. You can listen to lead track ‘Imajighen (Injustice Version)’ below
“We wanted to make a separate version of Funeral for people to hear,” the band’s bassist and producer, Mikey Coltun, said in a statement. “We’re always playing around with arrangements at shows. We wanted to prove that we could do it on a record, too. And there’s a whole other side of the band that comes out when we play a stripped-down set. It becomes something new.”
Matador will release Tears Of Injustice on February 28, 2025.
