Renowned UK poet Mr. Gee and the Leeds-based collective Fold have once again joined forces to create a powerful piece of art. Their latest release, “Dark Matters,” is described by Gee as “a bit of an anti-war, anti-everything piece.” This track is their 10th collaboration over the past 11 years, and it tackles the numerous humanitarian crises caused by wars around the globe, from Gaza to Sudan and beyond.
“Dark Matters” delves into the long history of oppressed peoples, exposing the repeated mistake of falling for ‘divide and conquer’ tactics that obscure the true aims of those in power. Gee’s poignant lyrics, combined with Fold’s evocative music, create a synergy that mirrors the deep anguish, frustration, and grief felt worldwide. This compelling track serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy and critical thinking in confronting global conflicts and humanitarian disasters.
