“One Too Many Nights” (ft. Sam Jr.) by ZOON

ZOON (Zoongide’ewin) is back to announce a brand new album, and drop the first single!

Featuring Broken Social Scene’s Sam Jr. “One Too Many Nights” is an ethereal tune about finding yourself after the end of a relationship, as Daniel Monkman explains,
“When a relationship ends, it’s not just the person you lose it’s the version of yourself that existed beside them. “One Too Many Nights’ is about that recalibration. I don’t date often, so when something shifts, it shifts my whole orbit. In that moment, being alone felt like the honest path forward.”

Check out the trippy video below, and mark June 19th on your calendar for the release of the new album, HAPPY THOUGHT SCHOOL.

“Moral Panic” ft. Jeremy Dutcher by Vivek Shraya

Last week Vivek Shraya celebrated Transgender Day of Visibility by releasing the deluxe version of her latest album New Models, which included two reimagined tracks featuring Jeremy Dutcher, and Tanya Tagaq.

Of the release Shraya says: “I offer this deluxe version of New Models, recharged by two artists I admire very much, Tanya Tagaq and Jeremy Dutcher, on this day, with the hopes that it acts as a reminder of the importance of collaboration and community during this time. I don’t believe visibility is the end goal, but I do think many of us are searching for the light and clarity right now and this can only come from working together, across our differences.”

“Moral Panic” is a cinematic and sweeping track that Dutcher says this about: “The message in these lyrics are, for me, speaking of the hope and resilience of all the rainbow children in this world. It is an anthem to our strength; In the face of fear & hatred, our joy, love and kinship networks persist. This message is both timely and timeless when considering queer, embodied experiences.
My approach to this song was to create an army of voices (a chorus) to be a bed on which Vivek can lay and share her truth.”

A beautiful song for a beautiful day.
