Dump Babes - niya k​î​min​î​c​â​kan

Independent

by Glenn Alderson

Apparently when band leader Aurora Wolfe was asked what the name of her band’s latest album translated to she told them it meant “nice to meet you.” In actuality it translates to something along the lines of “I’m a bastard,” but rest assured there are no bastard songs here.

A fresh and moody folk-rock offering that finds its groove early on and sticks to it, Dump Babes confront themes of colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and identity while taking listeners through disco-infused peaks and dreamy, ethereal valleys.
