Gyiin Na̱xnox: Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: You've Changed Records
Release Date: 10th July

You know what your record collection is missing? A heavy fuzzy-proto-metal-proto-punk-stoner-rock ripper from the Indigenous to the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America Ts’msyen community sung in their indigenous tongue. It's the wildest heavy rock album I've heard all year and testament to the breadth of music that one can be introduced to a whole new community through the medium of thunderous bangers. 

Loud and unrelenting, G̱a̱mksimoon’s first full-length LP “Gyiin Naxnox” (Feeding the Supernatural) showcases the trailblazing ability of Gitga’at songwriter Wil Uks Batsga G̱a̱laaw (Jeremy Pahl) to fuse pre-colonial musical stylings to hard-hitting fuzz rock. Ts’msyen (Indigenous to the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America) worldview and culture meets epic 3-piece rock and roll with echoes of early punk rock and doom metal bands of the 70’s and 80’s in a powerful and authentic statement against colonialism. Gyiin Na̱xnox contains multi-part epics spanning traditional melodies and rhythms, clips of field recordings from Sm’algya̱x-speaking Elders of the Ts’msyen community, Sabbath-style sludge and doom, and virtuosic street-level punk and roll. Features back-up vocals by fellow You’ve Changed Records artist Fiver and Sarin Blawatt of Vancouver punk band Alien Boys.
