Shares New Video For ‘Paid’

USA Tour With Tune-Yards

Also Playing Coachella, SXSW, Field Day, and Many More

Sudan Archives has just shared a new video for ‘Paid’, taken from her self-titled EP on Stones Throw Records. The video, directed by Alma Jennings, pays homage to Malian photographer Malick Sidibé’s 1960s images. Jennings styled the video with stark, monochromatic patterns and shot it in black and white 16mm film. Watch ‘Paid’ in full below.

Sudan Archives – ‘Paid’
Directed by Alma Jennings

Sudan Archive’s debut EP, released on Stones Throw last year, is a unique hybrid of R&B, Sudanese-inspired fiddling, experimental electronic music, and West African rhythms. Sudan’s singular sound has received accolades from the New York Times, Vogue, Pitchfork, The Guardian, The FADER, FACT, Resident Advisor, NPR and many more, and the EP was chosen as The Vinyl Factory’s #1 vinyl release of 2017.

PRAISE FOR SUDAN ARCHIVES
“It is rare that a new artist is so innovative that their music genuinely surprises you…[Sudan Archives] self-titled debut EP… combines R&B, funk and West African fiddling to make some of the most exciting new folk music.” – FACT
“Armed with little more than a digital looping station and a violin, Sudan Archives finds singularity and certain value in a sound that suggests both the depths of her ability and the untapped potential of the instrument itself.” – PITCHFORK
“If Erykah Badu wandered back to her roots with a four-track, you could imagine something such as this emanating fragrantly from the sessions.” – THE GUARDIAN
“One of the most original and best records of the year, Sudan Archives expands and reimagines the possibilities of the violin, a difficult thing to do in a postmodern world in which everything seems to have been done.” –LA WEEKLY
