Experimental political pop artist Mary Ocher returns to European stages with her two drummers Your Government, armed with two new records released only months apart: „Approaching Singularity: Music for The End of Time“ (Nov 3) and „Your Guide to Revolution“ (June 14).
„Approaching Singularity“ is accompanied by an essay that explores authoritarianism, unruly technology, and the diverse political and ethical implications of the impending changes for humankind. While „Your Guide to Revolution“ is released with „A Guide to Radical Living: A no nonsense guide to living comfortably with just enough: Why wealth needs poverty and how not to play along“ – a survival guide for artists and other non-conformists.
The new recordings feature collaborations with Mogwai, Red Axes, composer Roberto Cacciapaglia, pieces by Dorothy Ashby/Omar Khayyam, a homage to electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshirem and much more, and range from cumbia, post-punk and field recordings, to cosmic synth compositions and deconstructed techno.
