Today the Toronto musician ZOON (Zoongide’ewin) dropped the music video for A Language Disappears.
The leading single is taken from the upcoming second album called Bekka Ma’iingan which comes out on April 28, 2023 via Paper Bag Records.
A dreamy shoegaze alterna-rock that sounds very Kevin Drew a-la Broken Social Scene vibe.
About the track by Daniel:
“’A Language Disappears’ touches on a common experience among Indigenous people: the fear of your language being forgotten.
This was something I started to fear when I became a Born Again Indian in my late 20’s.
For a lot of native folks, we’re taught to hide our identity, to keep us safe from the outside world.
Somewhere along a native person’s journey, they start to ask questions about their heritage and where they come from.”
