Lauren Schilter These songs make me float. Indeed I did float during his set in Halifax. Go see him live asap if you can! Favorite track: Ultestakon.

queervenus This that native shit !! It’s very moving and I play it in my car on repeat; trying to sing along 🌺

Kamani A friend of mine originally introduced me to Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa. One year or so later, after my tastes in music expanded a lot, I found it on Bandcamp, and then immediately bought it. It is such a lovely album, and it’s origins are important (read the description, it can tell you better than I can. Words are hard). It is absolutely worth listening to.
Thank you for making these songs and for how you showed this music’s origin. Favorite track: Eqpahak.

Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa is the debut album by Canadian composer and tenor, Jeremy Dutcher – which involves post-classical rearrangement of his Wolastoq First Nation traditional music. Granted access to the Canadian Museum of History, Jeremy discovered wax cylinders from 1907 of his ancestors singing forgotten songs and stories that had been taken from the Wolastoqiyik Nation generations ago. The album is Jeremy’s contribution to his heritage and community in attempts to revitalize the Wolastoq language to the world, which has less than 100 speakers alive today. This collection of ground breaking post-classical arrangements is truly one of a kind and recalls the mood of Rufus Wainwright's operatic performance or the haunting pop of Anthony & The Johnsons.
