ALIEN DAY
Emergence. Afro future. Origin
Alien Day : marks our global post quarantine re-emergence. We are the earth’s aliens grudgingly returned to our home planet. My how We and Earth have been changed by the sheer ecological consequence posed by man’s retreat. What will we do now with our wild planet? This earth we had all been so sure belonged to us? Will we survive the psychic break and the conspiratorial contagion to cohere an Earth we can all thrive in?
All those ships and goods a quarantine froze in place compelled us all to remember our oldest truth. Without the waters we have nothing. The food, the help, the materiel, may not come in time; may not move soon enough to save us. On Alien Day the new humans have returned hoping, praying, channeling, laboring with the spirits of the sea to make a new way for us in the Afrofuture of a post-2020 Origin story.
Welcome to the ALIENDAY epoch!
May The ALIENDAY Processions begin
“The album is a cosmic explosion of black love and self-affirmations seen through the lens of an afrofuturistic landscape. Alien Day is Brad’s collaborative effort with genre defying drummer, songwriter/producer Howard Alper. Alien Day gives a nod to the sounds of underground hip hop in the 90s. (Think a cross between Kendrick Lamar, Digable Planets and Gangstarr.) ”
“Alien Day calls on the terrain and testimony of the New York City underground to signal the possibility for wholly emancipated selves tapped into the fullness of their ancestral and queer roots—even now, especially now in this polarized zeitgeist.”
