2xLP (Regular and Indie Exclusive Orange)
After bursting on the scene with 2019’s Athena, which brought a decidedly baroque take on soul music as her violin served as the driving musical force, Sudan Archives has returned on Natural Brown Prom Queen where she moves her music to an even grander scale. While the violin is still present here, there are countless other instruments from the classic drum machine and synthesizer to bouzouki and handclaps to make for one of the most sonically adventurous albums you’ll hear all year.
