The average rating for this is 6.66. The whispery chant does give it an interesting edge. As this is the only song of theirs on RP, I'll have to go look up some more. My gut feeling is that it could go either way.

I would also be interested in knowing how it translates. Unfortunately, Google doesn't understand Inuktitut... :)

Hey RP. Stop exposing us to new music from other cultures that we wouldn't otherwise come into contact with. It's very destabilizing for those of us who thought our teenage/college record collections were the very center of the musical universe
 

I very nearly had a coffee-keyboard moment after reading this comment

Yay, this was one of my submissions! I see it was originally turned down, but glad someone changed their mind!

Now maybe you could take a second look at Whitehorse's Kicking Down Your Door, please?

Keeps getting better. Lots of energy. Where else would you hear this besides Nunavut?

Are you that weak? I'd rather like to think that that was intended to be a joke.

Indie-rock Inuit music. This is one of my favorite tracks I've ever found through RP. Thank you, newbolddrive and Bill!

Is this the second time this song has been played in two days? In my view, that is not often enough.
Posted 8 months ago by rhyfelgar    [ Reply ]
I usually listen between 7AM and noon.  And sometimes after 7PM.   This might be useful info for when to NOT program this song for airplay.  I love RP.  I don't love Ukiug.  
Posted 8 months ago by worldbeatboy    [ Reply ]
I'm having hard time to define my feeling about this song. Some parts of it are a strong 1 rating while the rest is a neat 10. And while i pushed very hard the 1 button by listening to the first 2 minutes, after hearing the whole thing, i removed my 1. But I have no idea where to put my score now i want to hit 1 and 10 at the same time.

Bill meant to say, “ ... from the far northern Canadian Territory [not province] of Nunavut. All the same - thanks for playing this fine track.

That it appears so is in big part because they're hindered by having to transliterate into English.  If they were written in the actual Inuktitut language you could see the beauty of their  syllables.   They have an art in their form that's totally lost when crushed into latin alphabet.

All I hear is the bass line from "Bella Lugosi's Dead"
Beyond that, this is not so good.

... and the mandatory PF reference - several species of small furry animals in a cave and grooving with an Inuit...!

“This would have been better without the filler Millennial swoop in the middle. Where did that "woah oh oh oh oh" stuff come from?” I am really glad someone else has noticed this and also glad you named it. I like this song despite it though.

I suspect Inuit might say that English sounds like someone took Latin, German and Norse and threw them into a blender.

Inuit grammar is pretty cool, for those who are interested...

Bill, Nunavut is a Territory, Not a Province.
Just saying.

Nunavut isn't a province, it's a territory.

Mais un peut disrespectful of the few of us who like "Canadian" spelled with a capital "C", you know, like when you also add a capital after a period. But you're in a hurry, I know.

It's traditional Inuit throat singing from Northern Canada.

I didn't rate it 1 (I didn't rate it at all) but I'll tell you what I hate about it. There's this one voice just making this sort of "EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE" sound in the chorus that is a bit of a fly in the ointment for me. I like the rest of the tune, but I just want that one voice to shut up and quit ruining the song.

Thank you Bill!!! As a Manitoban huge respect and thanks for playing these guys. They are so good and could use any exposure they can get.

So glad this is in rotation!  And then to somehow segue seamlessly to Tears for Fears.    RP is a treasure.  Time to ante up my donation and get back on the proper side of BillG's ledger.

Right on Bill! So glad you decided to play this.

Wow, nice to hear some Canadian Indigenous content on RP! I'm from Halifax, NS where this group's violinist is from, and in fact I'm familiar with the other band she's part of, Gypsophilia (another group to look into, Bill?)

I was initially surprised to hear the throat singing at the beginning of the song, which prompted me to look at the Wikipedia info :)
