We’re only three weeks away from the release of Tanya Tagaq’s highly anticipated new album, Retribution, an effort that portrays and protests environmental and human rights violations and abuse. When you’re itching with anticipation like we are, three weeks can seem like an eternity. Luckily she is offering the tremendous title track as a third single, following the mind-blowing ‘Centre’ featuring Shad and the poignant and intense ‘Aorta‘.
What’s more, Tagaq has announced a string of UK/European dates for early 2017 in support of the album. Starting off with a date in Brussels and wrapping up with a show in Berlin, the tour includes two London shows, on January 24th at Cafe Oto and January 26th at Corsica Studios. We caught her utterly mesmerizing, powerful and visceral performance at The Forge last June to accompany the 1922 silent film Nanook of the North, and we just can’t wait to see her bring Retribution to life.
