Ottawa’s Silla and Rise dropped the music video for Pandemonium.
The track is taken from their upcoming third album Silarjuaq which comes out on October 29, 2021 via Balanced Records.
An wonderful blend of electro-dance break house beats with traditional throat singing that brings out a strong message.
About the track:
With their music, they invite you to experience the sounds of traditional and contemporary katajjaq – Inuit throat singing.
“Pandemonium” is the feeling of our worlds being thrown upside down.
It’s an adaptation of traditional throat songs Nirliit (geese) and Naujaat (seagulls) combined with futuristic dance floor beats, perfectly conjuring up the cathartic madness of the pandemic.
Pandemonium is spotlighting current events and representing important contemporary themes of resource extraction and Indigenous sovereignty.
Created by Inuvialuk/Gwichin visual artist Darcie Bernhardt from Tuktuujaatuq who animated 9000 watercolour stills, the beautiful imagery is unequivocally Northern, highlighting the Northern light-spectrum and features the beluga whale, fish, and polar bear, along with the land and the weather (Sila) who are the main protagonists.
Pandemonium gets:
/10.
