The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Kujo. “Sense Report” comes off the forthcoming v/a release, Al-Ibtihal. out this month on Moroccan imprint Rhadâb. Derived from the Arabic word, Ibtihal, meaning a hard state to reach - a double edged sabre, Al-Ibtihal is an attempt to transcribe this feeling into the physical world through both visual and sonic mediums. The hour long album engulfs the two opposed sides of the same coin, depicted by the A-side and B-side of the tape. The selected artwork captured by the talented Hind Moumou and gracefully edited by Hagen Ebejer portrays as a reminder that the Hand is a strong symbol of protection, most notably in the North-African and Arab culture.

The A-side is a collection of electronic rituals where endless evolving drones meet ambient distorded soundscapes. The B-side consists of martial pieces dedicated to War deities, with the introduction of tribal drums and beats. Today we premiere “Sense Report”, a track from the B-side which is a powerful and haunting experimental work from Kujo.

The album is out on September 21st on cassette and digital. You can pick up the digital on Bandcamp and the tape HERE.
