Cold Specks, aka Ladan Hussein, has shared a video for A Season Of Doubt.
The track, which features guest vocals from Michael Gira of Swans, is taken from the ‘doom-soul’ artist’s 2014 album ‘Neuroplasticity’. Discussing the Seth Pimlott-directed video, Hussein said:
“I was in America when the Ferguson grand jury decision was announced. I was there again when it was announced the police officer who placed Eric Garner into a fatal chokehold would not be indicted. I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness. I just kept thinking of my baby brother. My brother is 12 years old. The same age as Tamir Rice, the child who was shot and killed as he carried his toy gun. It could've been him.
I shouldn't have to remember the first time I was called a nigger as vividly as my first kiss. I shouldn't have to experience and witness the burden of being black in 2015. It shouldn't have to be this painful.”
Cold Specks' worldwide tour will continue through the summer in Europe, with an Australia tour and further Canadian dates planned for September.
