New Jersey's DJ Haram returns with a full-length offering that smoulders with fury, grief and defiance. Fusing the frenetic intensity of club music with Middle Eastern instrumentation, noise, punk and spoken word, she steers her signature chaos into darker and more focused terrain. Tracks like 'Stenography' and 'IDGAF' carry political weight in their grainy, serrated basslines, while collaborations with artists like Armand Hammer, Moor Mother and Bbymutha add barbed edges and emotional heft. Aquiles Navarro's trumpet on 'Remaining' lends a cinematic touch, contrasting with the searing distortions of 'Loneliness Epidemic'. Haram's production is consistently dense and vividitambourines crash against Jersey Club kicks, verses collapse into ambience, synths and darbuka blur into one. Yet amid the disorientation, there's clarity in her purpose: this is music as resistance, as rupture, as communal mourning and ecstatic release. From the whispered opening to the haunted final exhale of 'Deep Breath (An Ending)', it's a confrontational, often overwhelming listenibut never less than vital.
