The New York jazz/noise group Sunwatchers have kept a low profile since the pandemic. Their last album actually came out just as things were getting real in 2020. Now they’re back with a new LP, which should be album #5 if I can count. Music Is Victory Over Time is a title that they came across scribbled in a book about electronic music donated to a grassroots prison literature program. The lyric-less longform tracks (7 of them this time) are probably the most political music I’ve heard this year, making its point aurally rather than verbally.
