Medicine Singers by Medicine Singers
With their debut, Medicine Singers have bridged multiple dimensions of sound while expanding into a remarkable supergroup that includes Thor Harris and Christopher Pravdica of Swans, ambient music pioneer Laraaji, “no wave” icon and former DNA drummer Ikue Mori, and trumpet player Jaimie Branch, a rising star in the world of improvised music. Medicine Singers created a spellbinding musical experience, cycling through a kaleidoscope of sounds, from psychedelic punk to spiritual jazz and electronic music. But the genre-smashing album remains firmly rooted in the intense physical power of the powwow drum and the Eastern Medicine Singers’ connection to their ancestral music, creating a daring and ambitious record that celebrates tradition, while boldly breaking away from its restrictions, or in the words of Medicine Singers’ leader Daryl Black Eagle Jamieson: “These two cultures can work together, and blend together. We created something that needs to be out there in the world, to show people how we can work together and make something beautiful.”

More than just an agency, Mothland is an extra-dimensional space, a frame of mind, but even more so a tight-knit family sharing new sounds, colours and textures through multiple art forms and unique events. The collective also aims to provide visionary artists in the psychedelic, experimental and art pop genres, with an alternative label.
