Storied Tuareg band Tinariwen have announced a followup to 2017’s Elwan called Amadjar, due September 6 via ANTI-/PIAS. Like past albums, it features some exciting guests like Cass McCombs, Nick Cave collaborator Warren Ellis, and Sunn O)))’s Stephen O’Malley. First single “Taqkal Tarha” features Micah Nelson and you can hear that, and check out the full tracklist, below. That’s the artwork above.
