Retribution

Die Inuit-Künstlerin Tanya Tagcaq gewann 2014 den kanadischen "Polaris Music Price" für ihr Album "Animism". Ihr neues Album ist wesentlich aggressiver, politischer und kritischer... und sie covert Nirvanas "Rape Me". Inuit artist Tanya Tagaq won the Polaris Music Prize for best Canadian album in 2014, for Animism. Those who thought she had then made her definitive artistic statement are in for a surprise. Also in for a shock are those who thought international success, playing to major festivals and packed houses all over the world, would lead to a mellower sound, or a more laid back approach. Tagaq follows up Animism with Retribution, an even more musically aggressive, more aggressively political, more challenging, more spine tingling, more powerful masterpiece. This album is a cohesive, whole statement. Why sugarcoat it? This album is about rape. Rape of women, rape of the land, rape of children, despoiling of traditional lands without consent. Hence the chilling cover version of Nirvana's song "Rape Me."
