Cybernetically spiritual Chicago producer, Hieroglyphic Being, has shared "Spiritual Alliances," the agitatedly vivid second single off his forthcoming album The Disco's Of Imhotep. The melodic register of the track is lush and peaceful, but in typical fashion, Jamal Moss voices everything in acerbic distortion, giving it a highly personal and tactile feel. Its relation to something like utopia feels less like abstract contemplation, and more like the lived pursuit of visceral yearning.

Speaking to THUMP about the track via email, he explained: "'Spiritual Alliances' is about bringing all faiths and spiritualities together in harmony across the world and dismantling the concept of division."

For an oral history of his We Are Not The First LP with the J.I.T.U. Ahn-Sahm-Buhl, Moss told THUMP that it's up to artists to "re-educate people to excel to a higher level of understanding." In June, he remixed Detroit mainstay Keith Worthy's "Rarified Air" into an combusting site of fizz and fuzz.

The Disco's Of Imhotep is out on Ninja Tune's Technicolour sublabel on August 5.
