Tanya Tagaq’s new album is amazing
Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq wrote the best novel of last year, Split Tooth. It is a bestseller but of course in The Netherlands, the most conservative country in the world, it went completely unnoticed, except on this here little marginal blog.
Tagaq brought out a new, enchanting album, Toothsayer, the accompaniment to an exhibition in the National Maritime Museum in London. It’s dark and aggressive and threatening but also hauntingly beautiful and soft and it’s totally awesome in any case, it’s unlike anything I know.
Tagaq will be performing at the Rewire Festival in The Hague, at the end of this month. (PB)
