Cover Notes: Amirtha Kidambi has long affirmed that the role of music in the act of protest is pivotal. In the summer of 2020, the Brooklyn-based vocalist and composer was immersed in mass demonstrations across New York City in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, organizing bands to counter the violent presence of militarized police. That subversive spirit of collective dismantlement and reassemblage serves as the catalyst for the longform cuts that comprise 'New Monuments', Kidambi's third full-length recording with her band Elder Ones. As their leader writes in its accompanying liner notes, the title summons the 'tearing down of old colonial and racist monuments and vestiges of power... in order to build new ones to the martyrs of struggle'.
