Saul Williams ‘The Noise Came From Here’ Video

Published by
Even though it's early in the year far author, poet and actor Saul Williams has our vote for one of the best albums of 2016. Depicting a fictional tale of a minor from Burundi who turns to hacking, 'Martyr Loser King' is a sonic roller coaster ride of experimental electronica, African rhythms and Hip-Hop, churned with a punk twist. For his latest video 'The Noise Came From Here', Williams travels to Ferguson, the city where Michael Brown was killed by the police. Joined by poet Marcellus Buckley and Rev. Osagyefo Sekou, the men stroll in circular motions of ritual before entering a local nail salon. Towards the end of the video Buckley recites the poem 'The People Vs. The Police'. 'The Noise Came From Here' is directed by Anisia Uzeyman.

While everyone is busy putting together a 'Best of 2015' list, we're excited about the albums that are forthcoming in 2016. One LP that we have been eagerly waiting on is 'MartyrLoserKing' by artist, poet and author Saul Williams. New York-based Williams recently shared a new song taken from the album entitled 'The Noise Came From Here'. Sampling the singing of an African tribe, heavy synths and thundering drums push from beneath creating a sense of urgency. Like the work of Williams' past, 'The Noise Came From Here' challenges any normality pertaining to the current music, keeping a strategic focus on something with a little more impact. 'MartyrLoserKing' is out January 29, 2016 via the Fader label. Check it out.
