Tse Tse Fly Middle East - Instruments Of The State

Today Instrument Of The State is released!

I am so honoured to be a part of this compilation, after having air play from Andrew Weatherall on NTS a couple of weeks ago the compilation is finally ready for you to order.

There are 2 physical versions available and the digital album on bandcamp.

‘Autumn 2018 saw the launch of a new project from arts and activism collective Tse Tse Fly Middle East. Entitled Instruments of the State, the body of work is an expression of disgust at the parlous state of twenty-first century social politics and a reflection of a world in which the motives of the right-wing are being insinuated into everyday life. 
The project centres around an album of the same name featuring sonic experiments from original members of the collective (from back when Tse Tse Fly formed in the UAE), alongside contributions from new collaborators. The set includes tracks from UK-based practitioners Mandhira De Saram, The Untied Knot, Zahra Haji Fath Ali, Freya Edmondes and Dushume, alongside work from Black Line (UAE), Ubu Kung (UK / Philippines), Wirephobia (Kurdish Iraq), Nour Sokhon (Lebanon), Indu Antony (India) and Kumah (Serbia).’
