Moor Mother, “By The Light”

Based in Philadelphia, Moor Mother (oka Camae) is an artist and activist like none other. Her musical style can’t be put into a single category, and she can’t be compared to any other artist because she’s one of a kind. Her latest offering is a video for a new track, and we have the exclusive premiere.

The video is for Moor Mother’s track, “By The Light”. The track is slightly dark and very lo-fi, with a sinister undertone. The video has a chaotic feel, set in a dimly lit area at night with Moor Mother as the center of the video. As she performs the song, the spotlight on her strobes occasionally and brings more of an intense feel to the visuals. They played with it a bit in post production so she seems like she is dancing in fast motion, then slowly as her own figure layers over herself in a slightly trippy way. It’s hard to describe this video properly, so you’ll just have to check it out on your own.
