A doesn't do much for me. I wasn't familiar with B, but I quite like it.

Well, I'm sort of required to go with the awesome first track, because I almost chose it myself..Besides, Psychedelic Swedish guitar wanking doesn't do much for me, though the ending deconstruction (six minutes on..) was interesting.. Vote A

A is just not for me. i'll leave it at that.
B starts off promisingly but meanders off into a dirge.
B because it held my attention, albeit fleetingly.

both are new to me and I enjoyed both. I'm going with B because the guitar wankery is really doing it for me today.

A is more interesting lyrically than it is musically, but at least it gets to the point.
B has some nice moments, and I appreciate that they add some variation, but there's just not enough to be worth the meandering.

B would be good if I was stoned. I like good stoner rock.
I really liked A though.

Yeah, I reckon with some pot I could have listened to B with a silly smile on my face. With just a standard quick breakfast, it didn''t work. I quite liked the production and the female voice in A, plus it kept my atention through the changes. Nice pick.

Now this is an interesting tie!
A sounds like Erykah Badu recording with Burial, although comparing it to other artists is missing the point rather because this seems like quite a singular, personal statement; there's something quite deep going on here. I liked the way it veered between a bluesy lament and something angrier and more confrontational. There's something quite haunting about the way the voice trails off at the end. It seemed to be channelling the power of 'Strange Fruit' in some way.
B reminded me of the scrappier, more experimental end of Krautrock,like Amon Düül or someone.I was finding it very intriguing in a 'bad trip' sort of way, but I must admit it started to lose me with that long solo.
Brave choices..A

Moor Mother returns for her second appearance, putting her up in the preludin pantheon with Arthur Russell and Joni Mitchell. This time closer to the style you'd expect (not that its safe to assume a particular genre), accompanied by underground rap icon Billy Woods, and the smooth lead vocals coming from Wolf Weston. It does feel like it has a nod back to trip-hop territory, there's a nice crunch to the underlying sample and there's a kind of patchwork feeling to the way the different elements interact and overlap. A lovely thing, I must remember to buy the album if it has a physical release yet.
I guess if there's a thing that's going to stop me docking points for reaching back to the 60s or 70s again, it's by picking Swedish psychedelic rock. I can't possibly complain that there's been too much of this stuff over the years. It has a lovely intro, almost a baggy feel to the high-chimes and slightly funky rhythm section, it's a shame it veers off into geetar flexing, it drags the song into the murky mire of classic rock bluster. The climactic ending has some ludicrous vocals, I wish they'd done more of that, though the collapse into chaos is kinda interesting too. I'll not vote against it though, on the grounds of it being an off-the-wall choice.
Abstinence of a sort.

I must remember to buy the album if it has a physical release yet. The only one of her six 2020 albums with a current physical release available is 'Circuit City' (On Band Camp)..It's got more jazz overtones..The other five sold out..All available digitally..
