“You’ve never heard anything quite like Joe Rainey’s avant-garde Pow Wow music” – Pitchfork

Growing up as a Red Lake Ojibwe in the city of Minneapolis, five hours south of the reserve, Pow Wow singer and audio documenter Joe Rainey has always moved between cultures. With experimental electronic producer/multi-instrumentalist Andrew Broder (Bon Iver, Fog) and a Vancouver-based string quartet, Rainey makes the liminal sublime, radically fusing “layers of powwow songs to industrial-strength drums and blizzards of static” (New York Times) to create an enveloping avant-garde Pow Wow music that defies comparison.

Peggy Lee cello, Jesse Zubot violin/viola, Marina Hasselberg cello, Parmela Attariwala violin.
