Omar Apollo - Ivory - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The debut album by Medicine Singers is a genre-smashing kaleidoscope of sound combining traditional powwow music with elements of psychedelic punk, spiritual jazz, and electronics in a stunning blend. Building on years of collaboration between Yonatan Gat and Eastern Algonquin powwow group Eastern Medicine Singers, the album features contributions from an all-star cast including jaimie branch, Laraaji, Ikue Mori, Thor Harris (Swans), Joe Rainey, and Ryan Olson (Gayngs). InchI look at it like this, everybody is my brother and sister, no matter where they come from,Inch says Medicine Singers leader Daryl Black Eagle Jamieson. InchIf their culture or music is different, I want to learn about it, and I want to play with them. I think it's our responsibility as artists to show the world that life is not about war and hate. Life is about music, peace, and culture. We need to communicate with people of different cultures and backgrounds. We need to show people how we can work together and make something beautiful.Inch One Dollar of each Medicine Singers album sale goes to the Pocasset Pocanoket Land Trust.

Traversing the bounds of genre and language in his songs, singer-songwriter GRAMMY nominated Omar Apollo captures the adventurous spirit that this multi-hyphenate moment in pop demands, returning with his highly anticipated sophomore album, God Said No. God Said No is Omar's interpretation of Inchlo que sera, seraInch which translates to Inchwhatever will be, will beInch. The phrase embodies the album with Omar's tongue-in-cheek humorous outlook on the suffering that comes from surrendering and accepting whatever is thrown at you by life, a relationship, or lover. Omar believes his natural state is longing for love or stability, and elements of the album are about surrendering to that. The record was created with Teo Halm, Blake Slatkin, Carter Lang, Dylan Wiggins, and Oscar Santander, among other contributors. In 2022 with the of Ivory, Apollo's eclectic debut, his hit single and career first Billboard Hot 100 entry InchEvergreen (You Didn't Deserve Me at All)Inch was certified platinum, sold out his first headlining tour, and performed arenas with SZA and Daniel Caesar. Omar Apollo is a true visionary, whose one-of-a-kind pop synthesis unites listeners from all walks of life in a shared passion for rhythm and soul.

The virtually unknown band Ivory modeled their music after the sounds of Jefferson Airplane. In fact, it was produced in 1968 by the Airplane's genius himself, Mr. Al Schmitt. The group features the beautiful female vocals of Chris Christman, and fuzzed-out, psychedelic guitars.
