Ah, the dulcet tones of the Matronita Minor (aka Kazakh songstress Cosmic Sally), how they sooth our amnesiac soul with echos of remembrance! New song from London-based Suficore act, the Friends of Design. For details of album and (impending tour dates), check regularly with fernmind.com.

After two years’ of work, Sally, myself and the Geographer have finally released our debut album as the Friends of Design on the Fernmind label. Sufi pop has a new face: that mellifluent mystic Matronita minor! Our first single, “The Pilgrimage”, can be viewed here:
WARNING: do not click this if you have objections to music (particularly space doo-wop), Kazakh sufis — or more, seriously, suffer from epilepsy (the video contains strobe effects).
Lyrics are here. They concern the bidirectional “event” of fight/pilgrimage between the two cities (the left/northern City of Logic and the right/southern City of Love.) All to a funky space doo-wop beat.
The album itself can be bought from iTunes, Napster, Amazon and Tesco, amongst other stores. Go to the Fernmind Unilectic homepage for details.
