This edition of PTR finds us experiencing episode 2 of our new series Experimental Mind Mincing, curated byJoel Nelson and focusing on envelope-pushing minimal and abstract sound musicians!

This episode of PTR finds us premiering a powerful and socially important new compilation from Sweet Wreath records called Take The Time. Take The Time is a mix of spoken word, protest chants, drumming, hiphop and experimental approaches to the idea of protest song, from artists and activists in Birmingham, Alabama. Recorded from 2019-2021 in home studios and in the streets, this collection tells a narrative of protest in Birmingham and of the ongoing movement for racial justice in America. The poets here spit fire in the face of apathy. This is proof of the power of sound & words, captured in flowing, screaming, pulsating life ... a variegated song of collective struggle against oppression.
