On their first album, Me:You—a new collaboration between Mourning [A] BLKstar co-founders RA Washington and LaToya Kent—presents a simmering, enigmatic brew full of groove, distortion and haze. In contrast to the pointed lyrics and wide-ranging genre blend of Mourning [A] BLKstar, Me:You dunks music in a swirling brew of drum beats, guitars, bass, synth, and tape loops, revealing an immersive world that spotlights a woman who loves hard, with nods to punk, jazz and R&B. Along with Washington’s production and Kent’s vocals, Field Tapes in Der Trash features contributions from Jah Nada (of Obnox and Bloody Show, who released a winning collaboration with Washington on Astral Spirits last year) and Laura B.
