The first new music from Inuk punk Tanya Tagaq’s forthcoming album Retribution is now available, and it’s a hip-hop song about metaphysics, molecular biology and menstruation.

Tanya Tagaq is returning on October 21 with a new album called Retribution. It’s her follow-up to 2014’s Polaris Prize-winning Animism, in which the Canadian artist incorporated Inuk throat singing into contemporary, and surprising, recordings. She’s keeping up with her own formidable pace on “Centre,” which features Shad — a rapper as Canadian as the spelling of the song’s title.

The Strumbellas unleash their brand new video for “We Don’t Know” via Entertainment Weekly this morning.

Tanya Tagaq announces new album, Retribution, out October 21, 2016.

The Strumbellas announce fall tour dates in Canada. Tickets on sale Friday, August 19
