\"\"Moses Sumney<\/a>‘s debut album, Aromanticism<\/em>, came out last year and the singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist didn’t waste any time working on its follow-up. And good thing too. First, and earlier this year, he released the EP Make Out in My Car: Chameleon Suite<\/em>, featuring remixes of Aromanticism<\/em>‘s single ‘Make Out in My Car’. And last Friday saw the release of a three-track EP entitled Black in Deep Red, 2014<\/em>. The EP takes its name from a 1957 painting by Mark Rothko. Sumney comments on it:<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack in Deep Red, 2014 was ignited by the first and last time I attended a protest. It was in the fall of 2014, after a grand jury decided not to charge the offending officer in the Mike Brown murder, delivering the verdict just in time for them to get home for Thanksgiving. I felt like a camouflaged outsider at the protest, like an anthropologist performing a study amongst his own kind. I took to the mountains soon after that and wrote these songs, wondering if power was a transferable device that could change hands through the vocalizing of unrest.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The EP’s wondrous ‘Call-to-Arms’ featuring guest Shabaka Hutchings, has received the visual treatment. The video is by Sam Cannon. Watch it below.
