I just started reading the novella by Rivers Solomon, had to look up the music that inspired it, and WHOA this song utterly blew me away. AMAZING.

"This American Life producer, Neil Drumming, has recently become fascinated with Afrofuturism. It's more than sci-fi. It’s a way of looking at black culture that’s fantastic, creative, and oddly hopeful—which feels especially urgent during a time without a lot of optimism." AFROFUTURISM FOREVER! :-)

could this be the different sections of the ocean?
0:26 : Hadal zone
1:46 : abyssal zone
2:59 : twilight zone
3:55 : daylight zone

[baby_domdom_watchin]

im listening with this with my friend and when it got to 3:55 they started shouting *"DON'T HURT EM, DAVEED!!!"* i love them so much

[Portablerootbeerfloat]

Man Daveed needs more recognition for his rapping. Like seriously.

[shamsa]

I feel like I just watched a movie with my third eye

[acjohnson]

The world needs this to be a full concept album.

[imeanokaysureman]

I know this is for a This American Life episode, but I really hope this is part of a new album. I adore Splendor & Misery, and another, more fleshed out album in that conceptual vein would be amazing.

If the Next Album sound anything like this, I'm Fucking Sold. #itsClippingBitch

[rustyorphans]

First the streets, then the abyss of space, and now the underwater mysteries of the deep... Fuck yes

[gabbyw]

First two minutes i was apprehensive, but when the beat dropped at 3:00 i was really feelin it. i can't even put this into words..

[spanishnameisjesus]

This song is so unnerving. It's the combination of repetition and the ambient sounds. I've read a lot of Lovecraft, but this was the first "Invasion from the deep" that's creeped me out while being so beautiful and haunting.

[imagerivals]

man i was in bed when i decided to click on fantanos weekly track roundup and then i saw a new clipping song and my ass jumped right up to listen to this shit and i have no regrets

[TheManofThings]

OMG I need this new clipping like schools need teachers bruh

[BeeG]

Oh. My. Gosh. I LOVE THIS SONG! They played it on the radio, and now I cant stop listening.

[DrBlowfins]

Good to see that Drexciya gets some attention outside of the electro scene. To me the whole Drexciya catalogue including all sideprojects/aliases is the best music ever made.

THE EP COVER IS LEGIT I LIKE THE CMYK TOUCH AND REGISTRATION MARKS

[bree]

The narrative of this song is executed so well, especially with the transition of the instruments throughout the song as the tempo increases, the introduction of a more complex beat works so, so well with this. amazing job

[shrimpy]

This song kicks fuckin ass. I love the dark and ambient sounds of the ocean, the transitions between each phase of the song give me goosebumps, every new section of the song builds on top of the previous part without adding too much cluster to the mix, and to top all that off, Daveed is rapping about mermaids, and making a compelling story with such a strange subject matter. One of the best rap songs I've ever heard.

[WiseSageBum]

Am I the only one who wants to see a music video for this song?

I imagine a battalion of mer-people in a battle-subs as their generals, played by clipping, remind them why they're going to war.
