Our Take

DAMON LOCKS & BLACK MONUMENT ENSEMBLE's latest offering, Now, is a sonic masterpiece that effortlessly blends elements of jazz, funk, and experimental electronica. Locks' mesmerizing vocals soar above a backdrop of hypnotic beats and swirling instrumentation, creating a truly immersive listening experience.

From the infectious grooves of "Now (Forever Momentary Space)" to the haunting beauty of "The Body Is Electric," each track on the album is a testament to Locks' creative genius and the incredible talent of the Black Monument Ensemble. The band's ability to seamlessly weave together a multitude of musical influences is nothing short of impressive.

But what truly sets Now apart is its powerful message of social justice and activism. Locks' poignant lyrics touch on important issues such as systemic racism, police brutality, and the struggles of marginalized communities. It's a bold and unapologetic statement that demands to be heard.

Overall, Now is a bold and exhilarating listen that showcases DAMON LOCKS & BLACK MONUMENT ENSEMBLE at the top of their game.
