Brute

Conceived of as a celebration of the right of protest, Fatima Al Qadiri’s Brute is a piece of music ideally suited to a time of shadowy corporate manipulation and apocalyptic political theater.

Fatima Al Qadiri presents a melancholy but fascinating outlook for volatile, muddled times.

The cover of Fatima Al Qadiri's second Hyperdub album, designed by Babak Radboy, features Joerg Lohse's photograph of a Josh Kline sculpture -- a life-size, Teletubby-faced figure in riot gear.

Concept albums have always been found few and far between, and there are only a handful of artists who have managed to really nail them - Fatima Al Qadiri
