The track, a duet with his wife, is indicative of the deeper and more personal nature of MU.ZZ.LE.
As Sumach explains, “(The record is) a way to reflect on my actions. It’s very emotional and dark, the record. It’s been a dark time of my life, probably the darkest, but I’ve been able to maneuver through that and turn the darkness into light.”

MU.ZZ.LE is released on January 24 in the US and follows his debut album, 2009’s acclaimed A Sufi and A Killer and 2010’s remix project The Caliph’s Tea Party.

Recorded and mixed at his home, it also includes recent track "Nikels & Dimes" – available for free download here: www.warp.net/gonjasufi

The mini-album will be available on CD, digitally, double 10" vinyl and as a limited screenprinted poster with download code at select record stores.



MU.ZZ.LE, although short in it’s length, is huge on messages. Political, social and spiritual interpretations that define an artist. Written on the road, it was an outlet for Gonjasufi to challenge himself. It’s the response to all the adrenaline, aggression and anger he felt traveling the world, it’s a spectrum of his creativity and a testimony of how one man’s passion and determination is often misunderstood as anger. “There’s a duality that exists and to deny it, is the biggest mistake”. The album's downtempo strings, heartbreaking soul, reanimated hip-hop and crackling haunting vocal stylings are stitched as a running thread throughout each song like a patchwork quilt.
