Land Back! An unadulterated opening statement intoned by Saul Williams three times, as he joins Carlos Niño & Friends in sound ceremony underneath oak and black walnut trees in Coldwater Canyon Park, Los Angeles, on December 18, 2024.

The performance, which was organized by Noah Klein of Living Earth on the grounds of longstanding conservationist organization TreePeople, was the first of its kind for longtime friends and collaborators Williams and Niño. The two have been in contact since 1997 and have worked on a variety of projects together, but had never been moved to present in this way. For the occasion, Niño assembled and directed an ensemble of frequent collaborators including Nate Mercereau (Guitar Synthesizer, Live Sampling with Midi Guitar, Sample Sources), Aaron Shaw (Soprano Saxophone with Pedals, Tenor Saxophone), Andres Renteria (Bells, Congas, Egyptian Rattle Drum, Hand Drums, Percussion), Maia (Vibraphone, Voice), Francesca Heart (Computer, Conch Shell, Sound Design), and Kamasi Washington (Tenor Sax). Williams’ inspired poetics both fit seamlessly and guide clairvoyantly the electro-acoustic ecosystem created by Niño & Friends – a constellation of deep connections and intersecting linkups from complementary sound makers. There’s the dialogue between not just Niño & Williams but Niño and Renteria’s reciprocal percussions; the intergenerational woodwind counterpoint between Washington and Shaw; the hovering harmonics of Maia’s vibraphone in aerial resonance with Heart’s digital designs. Heart’s sounds also make a beautiful analogue to synth-guitarist Nate Mercereau, whose live sampling and manipulation techniques turn fleeting moments of sonic presence into musical architecture in real time. Deepening the dimensionality of this constellation, Mercereau and Niño are several years into a shared musical simpatico that has yielded dozens of powerful collaborations, making their particular interaction on this recording as spiritual and transcendent as it is subtle and implicit. And there is yet another connection to be highlighted still. Late in the set, Williams shares an extended reflection on the Dutch East India Trade Company, the indigenous Lenape people on the island of Manahatta, the origins of Wall Street, and a prayer for the end of empire as he incites an epic crescendo from the ensemble, swirling behind the twin winds of Shaw and Washington, spirited by his repeated call “I’ve seen enough.” The smoke has only begun to clear from this emotional apex as Williams passes the torch to poet Aja Monet, who arrests the atmosphere with a soft apocalyptic reading of a piece from her notebook, “The Water Is Rising.” As Monet finishes her poem and steps aside, Williams follows her foreboding words with a solemnly hopeful return – closing the ceremony with a parable about a firing squad, where one member's dilemma is a "system of belief" allowing for humanity in the heart of an oppressor.

💕 LOVE
I almost didn't purchase because I was nervous about the shedding. To my surprise the quality is fantastic. Minimal shedding and soooo soft! The size is perfect for a TON of stuffed animals along with blankets. Good bang for your buck!! Makes organization a breeze!! It is very durable when needing to move!

Too expensive to rip within hours
Color: Leopard Print Brown, Size: Large(38"x38"x40")
The handle ripped off while carrying, which left a giant hole on the top. The beanbag was in no way overstuffed or heavy. Not worth the money.

Overall good
Color: Leopard Print Pink, Size: Large(38"x38"x40")
It is super cute, I was nervous about the pattern and color because it’s not something I usually go for. But because the fabric is also long faux hairs it’s more of a ridged obre. The handle isn’t as strong as they recommend filling it to. So I recommend bear hugging it to move it around. You can put a lot in it if you want a harder chair but I filled it 3/4 full. The size is a little smaller so it’s more a medium.

Perfect bean bag
Color: Leopard Print Brown, Size: Large(38"x38"x40")
I bought some of the foam filler to go in it but it wasn't enough; However, if you have spare blankets, out of season clothes or anything that's cloth you can fill this up with it! Helps with storage as i rotate my clothes and blankets. It looks great in my room, soft and high quality. And it's easy to wash and clean HOWEVER with the foam, i would recommend a mesh bag so when you have to wash it, you don't get foam everywhere.
