▌░ ░▐
▌░ The Medicine Singers self titled debut album on Stone Tapes ░▐
▌░ has its unexpected dual origins in both Native American pow ░▐
▌░ wow music and musical improvisation. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ That's vividly clear from the spur-of-the-moment story of how ░▐
▌░ the musicians first met and unraveled their sound on an ░▐
▌░ unsuspecting audience in SXSW 2017. What the audience ░▐
▌░ experienced that night was a spontaneous collaboration ░▐
▌░ between a group of musicians of wildly different traditions ░▐
▌░ who only met moments before the show. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ ôSo we were playing outside at this venue in Austin, and I ░▐
▌░ kept seeing these guys watching us perform. After the show, I ░▐
▌░ saw them talking to Ray Two Hawks, and he came back over to ░▐
▌░ me and said, æThose guys are rock and roll musicians, and ░▐
▌░ they want us to play with them.Æ I wasnÆt sure about it, weÆd ░▐
▌░ done some collaborations before, but weÆd always been more of ░▐
▌░ a traditional drum group.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ After some quick soul searching, Jamieson decided to give it ░▐
▌░ a shot. The results were explosive, and an immediate ░▐
▌░ chemistry was established. ôWe did one song, and people were ░▐
▌░ screaming for us to come back out,ö Jamieson recalled. ôWe ░▐
▌░ went back onstage and played the rest of the show. People ░▐
▌░ loved it, and thatÆs how we started out with Yonatan.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Yonatan Gat, the said New York guitarist who invited the ░▐
▌░ Eastern Medicine Singers to join his band on stage also took ░▐
▌░ notice of the extreme emotional responses that 2017 encounter ░▐
▌░ received. ôI remember people were crying during that first ░▐
▌░ show we did together in Austin. With all the wild guitar ░▐
▌░ music IÆve been involved with, I wasnÆt used to lifting up my ░▐
▌░ head and seeing everybody in the audience shedding tears. It ░▐
▌░ was a very special moment.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ A few months later, the Eastern Medicine Singers and Gat ░▐
▌░ decided to document their memorable collaboration and entered ░▐
▌░ the studio while the latter was touring through Rhode Island. ░▐
▌░ The result of that impromptu session produced the 2018 track, ░▐
▌░ ôMedicine,ö and its release propelled the collaboration ░▐
▌░ further, earning the musicians invitations to share the stage ░▐
▌░ on some of the biggest festivals in North America and Europe, ░▐
▌░ bringing their stunning blend of Native American music and ░▐
▌░ psychedelic rock to audiences of tens of thousands around the ░▐
▌░ globe, many of which never experienced pow wow music before. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ After building so much positive energy from their live shows, ░▐
▌░ it was natural for the Eastern Medicine Singers and Gat to ░▐
▌░ take their collaboration to the next level. The name Medicine ░▐
▌░ Singers was chosen to differentiate the traditional pow wow ░▐
▌░ style of the Eastern Medicine Singers which is focused on the ░▐
▌░ Eastern Algonquin language from the their collaborative work ░▐
▌░ with musicians of different traditions, including Gat. The ░▐
▌░ musicians knew right away that they wanted to capture the ░▐
▌░ communal spirit of improvisation that defined their ░▐
▌░ collaboration from the offset, so they chose an ░▐
▌░ improvisation-based approach to recording. ôImprovisation ░▐
▌░ encourages people to be themselves,ö Gat observed. ôWith ░▐
▌░ everyone comfortable expressing themselves and reacting to ░▐
▌░ each other, the music is free to go to new places.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ And with their debut statement as a collective, Medicine ░▐
▌░ Singers have done just that, creating a spellbinding musical ░▐
▌░ experience, cycling through a kaleidoscope of sounds, from ░▐
▌░ psychedelic punk to spiritual jazz and electronic music. But ░▐
▌░ the genre-smashing album remains firmly rooted in the intense ░▐
▌░ physical power of the pow wow drum and the Medicine SingersÆ ░▐
▌░ connection to their ancestral music, creating a daring and ░▐
▌░ ambitious record that celebrates tradition, while boldly ░▐
▌░ breaking away from its restrictions, or in the words of ░▐
▌░ Medicine SingersÆ leader Daryl Black Eagle Jamieson: ôThese ░▐
▌░ two cultures can work together, and blend together, to show ░▐
▌░ people how we can work together and make something ░▐
▌░ beautiful.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Half a decade after that fateful meeting in 2017, the ░▐
▌░ collaboration reaches a climax with this breathtaking debut ░▐
▌░ album, while helping pave the way to this yearÆs rising wave ░▐
▌░ of Native contributions to experimental music û shining a ░▐
▌░ spotlight on guest vocalists representing indigenous nations ░▐
▌░ from outside of the Northeastern Woodland tribal area. One ░▐
▌░ good example of that is Joe Rainey, from the Red Lake Band of ░▐
▌░ Chippewa in Minnesota, who is also releasing his own debut ░▐
▌░ album on the 37d03d label this year. ôWhere else can you get ░▐
▌░ all these different native people singing together on an ░▐
▌░ album?ö Jamieson asked. ôOn this album you have east, west, ░▐
▌░ north and south all coming together. ThatÆs why we say itÆs ░▐
▌░ medicine.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Bridging multiple dimensions of sound, Medicine Singers ░▐
▌░ expanded into a remarkable supergroup that also includes ░▐
▌░ ambient music pioneer Laraaji, Thor Harris and Christopher ░▐
▌░ Pravdica of Swans, ôNo Waveö icon and former DNA drummer Ikue ░▐
▌░ Mori, and trumpet player jaimie branch, a rising star in the ░▐
▌░ world of improvised music. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ ôThe crew on this record is amazing, so many great musicians ░▐
▌░ wanted to show their support to the Medicine SingersÆ musicö ░▐
▌░ Gat, who produced the sessions, shares. ôYou have Ryan Olson ░▐
▌░ throwing production, Ikue Mori adding her electronics, ░▐
▌░ Laraaji is playing beautiful zithers weaving in and out ░▐
▌░ throughout the songs. Gelbart played his solos in the studio ░▐
▌░ with us, and then overdubbed synths like ARP 2500, Synthi-100 ░▐
▌░ and Tonto from the National Music Centre of Canada while we ░▐
▌░ were touring through Alberta. Thor and Chris from Swans ░▐
▌░ bringing that amazing propulsive vibe. The last person to ░▐
▌░ join the session was jaimie branch, who is one of the best ░▐
▌░ trumpet players in the world. It was right after covid hit. ░▐
▌░ She played an incredible 3 minute solo on æSanctuaryÆ from a ░▐
▌░ cabin in Alaska where she was staying during the pandemic. ░▐
▌░ She also painted the record cover. Most of us were lucky to ░▐
▌░ be together in the same room, improvising together live in ░▐
▌░ the studio before everything shut down, and then when the ░▐
▌░ pandemic hit - friends had time to throw down remotely.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ The provocative clash of sounds and ideas on this record may ░▐
▌░ not sit well with some traditionalists, but Jamieson objects ░▐
▌░ to such concerns. ôThis is experimental art. We're showing ░▐
▌░ people experimental art from the Eastern Algonquin side of ░▐
▌░ the world.ö For Jamieson, this album is more than a ░▐
▌░ collection of songs, itÆs a vessel of culture, history and ░▐
▌░ language; a symbol of the strength and creativity of the ░▐
▌░ Eastern Algonquin people in contemporary American society. ôI ░▐
▌░ want to show people not only that our Indian culture is just ░▐
▌░ as good as the mainstream white culture that's out there, but ░▐
▌░ also that the two can exist together, side by side.ö ░▐
