The Front Lines of the War album art

The Front Lines of the War is a spoken word sound art album made with a resonance hum of civil conflict, poetry, and experimental sound. This album is rooted in personal connections to contested landscapes and marginalized communities, as it explores the ways that global systems implicate us all in vectors of destruction and conflict, in which “everyone is on the front lines of the war.”
