Ribbon Skirt, a Montreal-based duo consisting of Tashiina Buswa and Billy Riley, presents their debut album, Bite Down, a work rich in emotional narratives and musical evolution. Drawing on Buswa's Anishinaabe heritage, the album navigates inherited colonial trauma while reshaping contemporary indie rock influences. Its sound, co-produced by notable figures in the industry, offers a grainy, tactile quality that echoes intense emotions. With vibrant performances and a mix of styles reminiscent of other artists, Bite Down captures the complexities of memory and existence in a modern context.
"I want it now, never, always," Tashiina Buswa sings on "Look What You Did," the penultimate track on Ribbon Skirt's debut album, Bite Down. It's a decent summation of her storytelling style: Everything is simultaneously happening, has already happened, hasn't happened yet, and will never happen."},{
