'The Fatalist' sounds unlike any blues record you’re likely to hear in 2023.

“A traditional song made modern. Which aspects of “the Blues” are essential? Is it a melody? A certain vocabulary? Delivery? Instrumentation? Is this still a blues song? And most importantly: who gets to decide? I tried to reimagine the blues with this song as if it were allowed to grow and progress uninterrupted, uncolonized and ungentrified..” - buffalo nichols
