Cuntry, the sophomore album from New York-based multidisciplinary artist Cleo Reed, is a love letter to folk music — a borderless music rooted in memory and a call to action. Black, queer, and non-binary, Reed understands that folk traditions stretch across geographies and genres, collecting the voices of those simply trying to survive. Across Cuntry, they tap into the legacy of working-class soundtracks — blues, dembo, zydeco, house, country, go-go — music that’s long served as a rhythm of resistance.
