Each composition draws from real-world struggles and activism, making this album a resonant document of contemporary resistance and hope.
With themes inspired by events such as the Atlanta spa shootings, India's farmer protests, and broader global oppressions, New Monuments channels protest into riveting soundscapes and fearless improvisation.

This release stands out as a testament to the transformative potential of music in turbulent times.
