Release Date: 27/03/26
Experimental hip-hop pioneers dälek return with Brilliance of a Falling Moon, a sprawling, uncompromising album on Ipecac Recordings that paints a fiery portrait of life and resistance. Conceived, composed, and produced by Will Brooks (aka MC dälek) and Mike Mare at the duo’s Deadverse Studios, its brutal, dust-caked drum breaks and ominous, otherworldly atmospheres underpin verses that take aim at censorship, colonialism, and the demonization of immigrants. The result is a ferocious, politically charged statement that expands dälek’s boundary‑pushing legacy. Since their 1998 debut Negro Necro Nekros and landmark releases From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots, Absence, Abandoned Language, and Gutter Tactics, dälek have redefined the textural and structural possibilities of rap. Tracklisting: Side A 1. Better Than 2. Knowledge | Understanding | Wisdom 3. Normalized Tragedy 4. Expressions Of Love Side B 5. Substance 6. I AM A MAN 7. For the People 8. By the Time We Arrive in El Salvador
