Mdou Moctar Afrique Victime (Gate)

"Moctar occasionally swaps his Strat for an acoustic guitar but mostly they keep their structures simple and hypnotic."
Included in Rolling Stone's "The 50 Best Albums of 2021" -- "[W]hen his voice and guitar work together on the title cut, the effect is truly transcendent."
Paste (magazine) - "Moctar's Van Halen-inspired electric shred is one element among many on AFRIQUE VICTIME, sharing space with acoustic folk-rock, drum machines, atmospheric group vocals and field recordings captured in his native Niger."
Clash (Magazine) - "It's a gorgeous set, at times brimming with nostalgia while at others showcasing the kind of searing guitar riffs which slot nicely into the psych-rock revival of the past decade."
