Why am I leaving Reboot Shop?

This record documents the Sway Machinery's remarkable journey to Mali and collaborations with the masters of Malian music.

In January 2010, the Sway Machinery traveled to one of the most remote music festivals in the world, the Festival in the Desert, in Mali. Chronicling the Sway Machinery's journey to the festival and subsequent collaboration with Malian singer Khaira Arby, the album explores the ideas of diaspora, pilgrimage and spirituality, and pulls together Arby's songs and singer Jeremiah Lockwood's compositions and field recordings captured along the way. Packaged in a hardcover 80-page book, featuring photos from Mali, essays on the project, and lyrics.

Available for streaming, MP3 download, and CD from Amazon.
