Review:
Based on Inuit throat singing but firmly planted in experimental electronica, and black metal sounds, this is a unique collusion between traditional and futuristic ideas. Tagaq redefines folk music in the modern age with refreshing originality. Gutteral moans creak alongside windy and cold soundscapes that you can see your breath on. Animal noises are emulated, and the vast eco-sytems of the north are painted in a terrifying sound and feel.
