The future is inevitable, even the day after the Groundhog, round and round and round again, even after palindrome dates - back and forward, to and fro, but the sun rises and the mellow days of a waning winter approach, the endlessness ends and in the waxing we wait for the inevitable breaking of Spring. Perhaps earlier in this year of hindsight, perhaps earlier than ever. The sameness is no longer.

“Forget is about being underestimated, overlooked and doubted, but prevailing. Going from the butt of a joke to being impossible to ignore, being everywhere (like a meme!). A song for the haters.” - NIkki Yanofsky

"There isn't a single narrative driving this album, but we do linger on some basic human problems: confusion in the face of a desire for self-knowledge and belonging, a struggle for meaning that is circular and sometimes seemingly endless," - Loving

Been watching ‘Abstract’ on the Netflix - art is the answer, we are getting closer to the medium marrying the message, art is where the message and the medium become one. On Abstract S2 Ep 2 the message is we could perhaps build not as assembly, not as a factory with parts on an assembly line; we could build like nature, instead of assembling we could grow. Plant the seed, add time. We can grow not assemble.

"disappear" appears on nêhiyawak's debut album 'nipiy' out October 24, 2019 on Arts & Crafts. http://nehiyawak.lnk.to/nipiy || http://nehiyawak.com nêhiyawak hails from amiskwaciy (Edmonton) on Treaty 6 territory. On the band's debut album, nipiy - out October 24 on Arts & Crafts - the trio of Indigenous artists - Kris Harper (vocals, guitars), Marek Tyler (drums), and Matthew Cardinal (synths, bass) - transcends a new intersection of traditional storytelling and modern sound.

“Why is nêhiyawak more than a band? Because our families, our nêhiyaw communities, and our ways of knowing and being inform our work. For me, our album nipiy represents an ongoing process of connecting, learning and growing with each other.” - Marek Tyler

“the robots are smarter than ever, and the algorithm knows more and more what we like as individuals, but we have to remind ourselves that there is music in the margins that can go missing and that that music is more important than ever.” - Holy Fuck

staring out the window she's calmly waiting confiding, silently searching the sky as if for a sign she's waiting on someone is it the sun? is it the sun? only she knows tracing the lines of a winter's mind she won't be long eyes opened wide to a darkness inside but what does she see?
