We gave their debut lengthy participant an Album Of The Week rating and it’s this author’s high album of the yr, so we’re trying ahead to extra of Gregg Deal’s narrative take down of how indigenous People are handled set to a hardcore sound observe.
The brand new single carries on in an identical vein from earlier work with the affect of Circle Jerks, MDC and Rage In opposition to The Machine nonetheless current. The tune title My Spirit Animal Ate Your Spirit Animal units the tone as Deal ridicules and assaults one other instance of Native tradition being stolen and appropriated. Anger turns to scathing sarcasm and humour:
“Burning sage since you assume we do
Considering you simply had a breakthrough”
Wayne AF Carey says:
“Most likely the very best punk band round in the meanwhile. Onerous hitting with a superb message that we don’t have points right here with within the UK, but harks again to the instances when the Indians have been hit exhausting by a white tradition stealing oil and glorifying all of it in John (racist) Wayne movies that captured an viewers of unknowing movie followers on the instances. I’m stunned this topic has taken so a few years to filter via. Effectively probably not with the re-election of the cunt Trump and his loaded sidekick Elon Musk. We’re all doomed…”
Deal describes the tune thus: “It covers floor, from the assertion that taking something from Native tradition with out permission is thievery, to observing that considered one of our nice Indigenous actors, Lily Gladstone, was robbed of the Finest Actress Award on the 2024 Oscars. The feelings all through the tune are an enormous center finger to the dismissiveness of Native points like existence, illustration, and the continued thriving—and surviving!—of our residing and respiratory tradition.”
