HEY!This week we talk to iskwē about her new album acākosīk.iskwē | ᐃᐢᑫᐧᐤ (short for waseskwan iskwew, meaning "blue sky woman") is, among many other things, an artist – a creator and communicator of music and of movement, of pictures, poetry and prose. And through it all, she’s a teller of stories that have impacted our past and will inform our future. Some are her own, some belong to others, and some belong to us all.acākosīk | ᐊᒐᑯᓯᐠ is the culmination of her creation and collaboration to this point. It’s a collection of seven sonic explorations that not only blur lines between sources and styles, but also between the actual and the ideal, the real and imagined. But by extension, it’s also the star around which immersive worlds of live performance, video, and visual art revolve. That includes the album’s stunning cover art by Sarah Legault, loaded with cultural allusions and featuring an individual star for each of Canada’s missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG) to date.Check out her new single "Night Danger" at the end of the show!Follow iskwē @iskweFollow us @grilithfairC U next week!
