Ini by Digawolf
Yellowknife’s Digawolf returns with a cinematic fourth album, Ini (Spirit), the first entirely Tłı̨chǫ language album in over a decade. In writing and recording Ini over the past two years, Diga aimed to bring the language to a new level through sound. Diga built instrumentals up around the stories he was telling — partly sung and partly spoken in his distinctive gravelly voice — of celebration, beauty, gratitude, and prayer; Diga reflects on both the struggle and the rich history in the North.

Like most musicians during the COVID-19 pandemic, Diga has been locked away in his studio with his computer and guitar, devoid of a live audience. Stemming from this period of isolation is a unique album that stretches song into ballad and guitar riff into an instrumental exploration. As soon as he was able, he brought the band together, to start recording this Covidian epoch.
