What's that I say? You should check out Ombiigizi? Well, O.K.!

I needed something to reflect the noise in my head today, and I think this single from Ombiigizi does a nice job of melding the noise with the melody with the quirk with the yearning and they hope ... I mean, a perfect Tuesday theme song, right?

Ombiigizi is comprised of Zoon's Daniel Monkman and Adam Sturgeon of Status/Non-Status, and they've come together to create an album driven both by current times and their own cultural histories. 

Ombiigizi's Sewn Back Together—out next Friday—is an adventurous and really satisfying listen. It's super catchy but intricately built—there's lotsa stuff bouncing around from headphone to headphone as these lushly textured songs make their way into your world. The whole LP is propulsive, driven by tons of explorative energy.
