lyrics
Built on the power of our voices
This music
Was built on the sound of black women’s voices
This music
Was built on the sound of black women’s voices
Our Sound
Our Soul
Our Pain
Our Witnessing
Our Seeing
Our Holding
Our Bosom
Our Determination
Our Subjugation
Our Abuse
Our Dismissal
Our Sidelining
Our Blood
Our Children and their Children
We are the anchor and the base.
We show our Dignity and Strength
We represent the burden, the uplift and the joy of creation
We carry it in our voices, strong and unshakeable
Distinct
The cry of hell that meets the elation of the righteous path to Heaven
The sound that told us all to hold on since humans were created
was the black voice.

Energy time maddafakkas! This is hard hitting free jazz for the revolution. Listening to this you could believe it might actually happen!
Anyone who thinks Jazz is for old folks should give this a spin. It couldn’t be more contemporary to my ears. Crinklechips

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat
