"Indescribable" is not an appropriate word to begin an artist’s bio, nor is it suitable description of a musician. The problem is this: when Tanya Tagaq Gillis’ music fills your ears—either in person or on her new CD Auk—she is genuinely one of those rare artists whose sounds and styles are truly groundbreaking. "Inuit throat singer" is one part of her sonic quotient. So are descriptions like "orchestral," "hip-hop-infused" and "primal" … but these words are not usually used collectively. In the case of Tagaq, however—especially on her sophomore disc Auk—they are.

“Tanya is directly musically in touch with something that is almost a ghost. To me, it is something that is so special and so much a part of the earth and the land and the environment.”

– David Harrington, Kronos Quartet
