"a rhythmic, hypnotic guitar refrain that sucks you in from the off, regular, menacing psyche guitar riffs that punch through the gloom and ratchet up the tension"

Elisapie – Inuktitut (2023, Inuk)
Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 1086 on The List, submitted by Yuki. This is a covers album like no other. Inuk alt-folk artist Elisapie chose songs that once were all over the airwaves - including in her hometown of Nunavik - songs that had a strong emotional connection to a person or memory in her past, translated them into Inuktitut, and then created intensely personal versions of those songs. I guarantee you’ve never heard these songs (originally by Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, Cyndi Lauper, Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Blondie, Patrick Hernandez, Leonard Cohen, and Rolling Stones) like this before.

Elisapie – Inuktitut (2023, Inuk)
Our next spotlight is on number 1086 on The List, submitted by @Yuki.
I’m not a covers person. Too often they come off to me as an artist just trying to prove their chops, saying ‘hey, check out what I can do with this song’, and I, more often than not, reply ‘I would prefer not to’. But this album, an entire album of covers from Inuk alt-folk artist Elisapie, comes off entirely differently. This isn’t a ‘look what I can do’ but a ‘these are how I heard these songs, where I lived and with the things happening in my life at the time’. Or even, given that every cover on this album has been translated and is sung in the artist’s own language (Inuktitut), ‘this is my story, told through these songs other people wrote’.
From the Bandcamp description:
“It’s a covers album that sprouted in the artist’s mind…when songs by artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, Metallica, Queen, and Cyndi Lauper, whose music once took over the community radio airwaves throughout Nunavik, Northern Quebec, triggered a flood of tears. Many of these songs were an escape as the community and cultural references were being challenged by colonization. Elisapie began a mental archaeological process: finding songs associated with emotional memories and people from her past… Every song is linked to a loved one or an intimate story that has shaped the person Elisapie is today. Through this act of cultural reappropriation, she tells her story, offers these songs as a gift to her community, and makes her language and culture resonate beyond the Inuit territory.”
Below is a track list noting the originals.
- Isumagijunnaitaungituq (The Unforgiven – Metallica)
- Sinnatuumait (Dreams – Fleetwood Mac)
- Taimangalimaaq (Time After Time – Cyndi Lauper)
- Qimatsilunga (I Want to Break Free – Queen)
- Qaisimalaurittuq (Wish You Were Here – Pink Floyd)
- Californiamut (Going to California – Led Zeppelin)
- Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass – Blondie)
- Inuuniaravit (Born to Be Alive – Patrick Hernandez)
- Taimaa Qimatsiniungimat (Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye – Leonard Cohen)
- Qimmijuat (Wild Horses – Rolling Stones) 05:29
I guarantee you’ve never heard these songs like this before. Grab a tissue and give this incredible album a spin. And, if you like what you hear but maybe want a bit of a pick-me-up afterwards, also check out the Remixes EP, which has danceable takes on tracks 2, 4, and 7.

Block – Over And Over
After “I Thought I Won The War,” a critically acclaimed single released recently over all streaming media platforms, Block is back with another marvelous composition that will definitely suit all his fans and gather many new listeners. Serving as a perfect showcase of what you might expect from his upcoming album, “Over And Over” also represents his first piece of work released this year. Compared to the previous track, this song also showcases numerous innovations in songwriting, composition, arrangement, and production, demonstrating a natural progression of an already incredible artist. Lyrically, the song is about obsessive-compulsive disorder. Block reflects on a lifelong battle with the condition, noting that it was poorly understood or mislabeled during his childhood. The lyrics aim to capture the horrible things and maddening repetition that define the experience. By sharing his personal hell and admitting he wouldn’t wish it even on his worst enemy, Block uses vulnerability to create a moody, intimate atmosphere that invites listeners into the reality of chronic mental health struggles. Sonically, Block combines a singer-songwriter approach with various techniques, directions, and genres in order to vividly depict the lyrical theme. Perhaps music genres like indie folk and indie rock come to mind first, but do not be surprised if you stumble upon some of the finest properties borrowed from alternative, art rock, alt-folk, folk rock, and modern rock. Block cleverly, thoughtfully, and tastefully combines all these styles by offering a calm, soothing, relaxing, ethereal ambiance, serving as an adequate platform for the song’s theme. It’s also worth noting that the “Over And Over” evokes the late nineties indie sound, while the latest trends in production infuse a contemporary vibe. It’s definitely one of those songs that immediately wraps around your listening apparatus and refuses to let go long after the last notes and beats end.
Photo courtesy of the band.As soon as you press play, you’ll immediately notice almost a cinematic ambiance lurking around, thanks to calm vocal harmonies, lush instrumentations, and moderate beats. “Over And Over” is one of those tracks with perfect structure, fully stacked with profoundly detailed segments, brilliant ideas, and outstanding musicianship, but it definitely stands out with its unique atmosphere. Block’s vocal performance plays a significant role here, as it acts as a centerpiece that immediately pulls you into the sonic whirlwind. His calm, soothing, relaxing voice commands attention, elevates everything to new heights, and guides you from scratch to finish. You’ll immediately notice all the sincerity, passion, heart, and soul delivered through delicate vocal harmonies that seamlessly balance all the low, mid, and high notes with such precision and finesse. Besides decorating all the segments and orchestrations, his performance also contributes more than necessary emotional depth and complexity to an already intricate song structure. In the meantime, the interplay between synths and guitars shapes a perfect backdrop for all the vocals to shine upon. You’ll notice all those lush, beautiful, ethereal synth themes, melodies, and harmonies on one side while the other resonates with catchy, memorable, engaging chord progressions, delivered on acoustic guitars. It’s nearly mindblowing how all these layers articulate together without overwhelming each other, proving that Block thought about everything while writing, composing, arranging, and producing this song. “Over And Over” wouldn’t sound complete without the equally impressive rhythm section, and you’ll definitely notice how intricate, warm-sounding basslines rumble beneath all those beautiful vocal harmonies, lush synths, and catchy guitar works. These low ends are so subtle yet hearable enough to deliver more heaviness, clarity, and depth to the song while simultaneously binding the mentioned orchestrations with rhythmic patterns. The tastefully arranged, flawlessly performed, well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics bring almost a trip-hop atmosphere, keep everything in line, and dictate groove and moderate pace. These rhythmic patterns are also subtle yet notable, bringing more than necessary rhythm while leaving enough room for other instruments to shine.
With “Over And Over,” Block showcases why he’s one of the most celebrated artists whose music inspired many. By building soulful, emotive, cinematic ambiance through beautiful vocal harmonies, lush synth themes, catchy chord progressions, intricate basslines, and moderate beats, he revealed a fresh, unique, innovative, exciting new face of alternative and indie music. “Over And Over” stands out from anything you could hear on the music scene nowadays, thanks to Block’s unique songwriting and composing abilities and a distinctive approach to performing music. If you’re looking for music that speaks volumes, tackles important themes, and resonates with bold and innovative sonic maneuvers, then you should immediately place “Over And Over” on your music radar. It’s available on all streaming platforms, so check it out!

The Amanda Emblem Experiment – Ancient Dingo
The Amanda Emblem Experiment is back with another fine piece of sonic artistry that will immediately appeal to anyone who’s in search of soulful, hearty, and meaningful music. Arriving after “The Wood,” a marvelous full-length album released last year, “Ancient Dingo” is the first piece of work in 2026, showcasing Amanda Emblem’s tremendous ideas, creativity, talent, experience, and musicianship from scratch to finish. If you’ve followed her work before, then you already know that her music always evolves, so that’s the case with this particular composition as well. Cowritten by Amanda and harmonica flutist Kelly King, “Ancient Dingo” is about understanding the behaviour and bad reputation of the Australian dingo. Sonically, the artist employs a singer-songwriter aesthetic by blending various approaches, techniques, and styles with fundamental elements borrowed from alternative folk, alternative rock, and alt-pop, aiming to construct a luxuriant sonic imagery that perfectly complements the lyrical theme. However, beneath you may find other music genres, such as indie rock, soft rock, and acoustic rock, lurking around and elevating this composition to an entirely new level. With all these genres in her sonic arsenal, Amanda Emblem constructs such a beautiful atmosphere where each vocal harmony, chord progression, bassline, and rhythmic pattern wraps around your listening apparatus and refuses to let go long after the last notes and beats end.

Each layer, element, detail, and nuance has its place and purpose here, building a perfect sonic universe worth revisiting over and over again. The way guitars work throughout the entire composition is nearly mindblowing. You’ll immediately notice how the interplay between acoustic and electric guitars acts as a backdrop that emphasizes Emblem’s enchanting vocal harmonies. On one side, you have calm, soothing, relaxing, and ethereal chord progressions delivered on acoustic guitar, while the other brings subtly distorted riffs and clean staccato upstrokes on the upbeat, played with a clean, bright tone. You may notice how barely hearable chorus effect transforms those riffs and chord progression, giving them a completely new dimension that works flawlessly in this song. Besides these guitar works, you’ll also hear how the main theme performed on the harmonica spices things up during the particular segments, while the additional chord progressions and ambient pads delivered on keyboards add a touch of complexity to an already intricate song structure. All these orchestrations indicate that we’re dealing with a wise, creative, skillful singer-songwriter whose songwriting and composing abilities stand out from the remainder of the alt-folk and folk rock scene.
Amanda Emblem’s beautiful vocal performance shines in the limelight here, making “Ancient Dingo” such a soulful, emotional, meaningful, and fascinating sonic experience. Her calm, soothing, relaxing yet subtly high-pitched voice elevates each segment to new heights, commands attention, and serves as a guide on this epic sonic journey. You’ll notice how she seamlessly balances low, mid, and high notes without overwhelming the instrumentation while delivering more than necessary emotional depth through poetic, storytelling lyricism. Beneath all these beautiful vocal harmonies, you’ll notice how the additional sing-alongs, back vocals, and other vocal layers give more depth, further improving the listening experience. Like the instrumental performances, her voice acts as an additional layer of melodies that immensely elevates the ambiance. Besides all those luxuriant orchestrations delivered via guitars, keys, and harmonica, you’ll hear those subtle yet vividly hearable, warm-sounding basslines, rumbling beneath the mentioned instrumentations and delivering more than necessary heftiness, deepness, and clearness to this song. Of course, the bass guitars also serve as a binding element between all those orchestrations and rhythmic patterns while simultaneously contributing groove, depth, and detail. In the meantime, the moderate rhythmic patterns based upon tastefully arranged, flawlessly performed, and well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics keep everything in line while dictating groove and depth. Every element has its place and purpose here, offering you a fascinating listening experience worth revisiting everytime you crave a perfect alt-folk and soft rock music.
With “Ancient Dingo,” The Amanda Emblem Experiment shapeshifts the boundaries of alt-folk music. Her latest song not only brings a meaningful, educational story about the Australian dingo, but also shapeshifts the boundaries of what this genre could and should be. Through her wise storytelling, brilliant ideas, and outstanding musicianship, Amanda Emblem revitalizes, elevates, and improves alt-folk music, giving its new shape and sound. It’s a highly recommended fine piece of sonic artistry you should immediately place on your music radar.

In the mood for some lovely new #music? Why not check out this EP that I wrote and recorded with my friend Tom Jones (no, not that one).
All the tracks were written during #fawm in February 2025.
Loosely defined as #folk #altFolk #folktronica #experimental music, by me, at least.
Shout out to @fawm for the original challenge and @mirlo for the hosting! My friend Nancy (nancy_clare_creative on IG) also created the stunning artwork.
