Stone Ringing Sorrows is the second release from Unda Fluxit, the solo vehicle of Boise, Idaho-based artist/musician Huma Aatifi. The music on Stone Ringing Sorrows is so liberated that only real mavericks like Albert Ayler and Eric Dolphy or art brute musicians like Jandek and Kenneth Higney are relatable. Aatifi employs her own tuning, chords and repetitious guitar patterns that can get to a Michael Rother-level of hypnosis. Born in Kabul, Afghanistan, Stone Ringing Sorrows also has hints of the Arabic music Aatifi was surrounded by growing up. This one’s limited to 100 cassettes and is a top album of 2021. -Ryan Leach (ever/never)
