There's a funny thing that can happen with an artist like Sudan Archives. When Brittney Parks' project first started to garner buzz, it was for an idiosyncratic, specific style she had already figured out -- electronic production, R&B melodies, and an ever-present violin primarily influenced by different West African fiddling traditions. It wasn't quite like anything else. And that kind of becomes the main talking point; many discussions of her music are reduced to just outlining her fresh and exciting sound.
