Recitations of grief and mourning recorded on the occasion of a London performance in which professional mourners simultaneously broadcast their lamentations, many of which trace their origins to pre-Islamic and pre-Christian times, enacting rituals of grief -- Northern Albanian laments, which seek to excavate uncried words; Wayuu laments, which safeguard the soul's passage to the Milky Way; Greek Epirotic laments, which bind the story of a life with its afterlife; and Yazidi laments, which map a topography of displacement and exile. The double album includes both live recordings made during the London performance and studio recordings of each lament performed by the collaborating mourners. The accompanying book presents the laments, their English translations, and portraits of the performers, with a section documenting the performers' visa application processes that foregrounds the underlying structures of global exchange, the movement of bodies across borders, and the hierarchies of art and culture.
