In addition to vinyl, CD, picture disk and digital formats, the new Mdou Moctar album ‘Afrique Victime’ will be available as a special and limited cellphone edition. Hearkening back to the way Moctar’s music originally spread and proliferated across the Sahara via word-of-mouth Bluetooth mobile phone swaps, this collector’s edition of ‘Afrique Victime’ arrives pre-loaded onto a classic Nokia 6120 handset and specially mastered for it. Disclaimer: You can only make calls on this phone in countries that have 2G coverage (not US). The phone does not include a sim card and the headphone port is 2.5mm

“Thrilling… Opener ‘Chismiten’ is about as stunningly alive a rock song as has been released this year thus far.” Treble names Mdou Moctar’s “Afrique Victime” their Album of the Week.
“Mdou Moctar’s energy for revolution is full force experience, as exhilarating as it is inspiring, and it is made more powerful by his sincere love and understanding of the Tuareg tradition. Afrique Victime bottles this fervency not only so more can engage with this resistance and its ideas, but also so we can be reminded of the nature of true rock ‘n’ roll rebellion.” The Line Of Best Fit names Mdou Moctar’s “Afrique Victime” (out Friday) their Album of the Week.
Prolific
San Francisco artist Glenn Donaldson is back with his second record as
Reds, Pinks & Purples in just six months and it is one for the ages.
“Uncommon Weather” might be Glenn’s most personal record yet, a
gorgeous and melodic snapshot of San Francisco full of beauty,
melancholy and absolutely sterling tunes. I hear echoes of everything
from The Chills to The Television Personalities to Blueboy, and you will
no doubt hear others. “Uncommon Weather” is a tribute to the mysterious
and enduring power of the best pop music and to Donaldson’s singular
musical gifts. We’ve teamed-up with our friends at Tough Love in the UK
to release this brilliant album, and it is out today. Get it here: https://smarturl.it/uncommon-weather
