Sudan Archives dips into dance music with high-energy new single "DEAD"

Out today via Stones Throw Records, "DEAD" finds Sudan Archives (aka Brittney Parks) heading to the club to let loose a technologically upgraded version of herself.

Parks' dancefloor-forward experiment began to take shape after coming off tour behind her 2023 album Natural Brown Prom Queen. Reconciling the human and machine that co-exist within, "DEAD" builds on the long and vital history of black dance music, giving it Parks' own orchestral, digitized twist.
