ARTIST: TANYA TAGAQ
ALBUM: RETRIBUTION
LABEL: SIX SHOOTER RECORDS
'Retribution' is the latest album from Tanya Tagaq, a 41 year old Canadian Inuit throat singer and songwriter. The new record is available through Six Shooter Records and was produced by Jesse Zubot, who also contributes violin. It contains 10 tracks which offer much in terms of dynamics and variation, with a host of guests appearing on the album from Radik Tyülyüs, Ruben Komangapik, rapper Shad, and Taqag's own daughter Inuuja.
There's a multitude of vocal aspects, from whispers, to shrieks, whilst the music itself is bold, ranging from electronica and folk. Retribution is challenging, thought provoking and compelling, difficult at times to listen to but ultimately rewarding for artist and listener.
Catch Tanya on her European tour in January 2017.
