I recommend two ways of listening to Tanya Tagaq’s latest record, Retribution. One is with eyes closed, given over wholly to the experience of a dense, immersive collection of sounds unlike any sounds on any other albums in your collection. The other is with eyes open, standing in front of a mirror, with one hand on your throat.

“Polaris Prize-winning multi-instrumentalist and throat singer Tanya Tagaq will release a new LP next month titled Retribution. Its debut single, “Centre,” is a song about the interconnectivity of our universe, the way one life bleeds into the next, treating the womb as our world’s ultimate centerpiece. It’s an upbeat, impassioned song, and Tagaq’s decision to include Canadian rapper Shad on it makes her intent all the more blatant.” – Stereogum.

This year, Whitney Rose’s road to AmericanaFest starts in Travis County, Texas, where Rose has settled and recorded a new song, “My Boots,” that speaks to self-acceptance. “My Boots” shows the lighter side of Rose’s songwriting. “While it’s ostensibly just about wearing whatever the hell you wanna wear,” Rose says, “it’s also about embracing the quirks and flaws that make you, you.” Rose walks the walk in her custom cactus and rose Liberty cowboy boots, a sparkly nod to her identity.

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.

Six Shooter Inc. announces Tim MacMillar, founding member of metal band Protest the Hero, has joined the management team as artist bookkeeper. Those familiar with MacMillar through his music might not know that the guitarist has been his band’s administrative backbone for years, and his involvement in the business side of things has been an incredible asset.

Six Shooter Records officially welcomes Katarina Duma, a second new addition to the Marketing Department. Duma was recently hired for the position of Marketing & Creative Coordinator, and brings both a business degree from Rotman Commerce and extensive overseas experience in applied art, music and film production to the label.
