Tanya Tagaq - Animism
This album feels like a vivid dream where you are deep in the forest, far from the nearest human being. You suddenly find that you are able to communicate with the wolves who take you in as one of their own, like Perrin Aybara in the Wheel of Time. When the wolves speak to you they sound like half wolf - half human hybrids. As you begin to interact with them, you become totally uninhibited, wild, one with the pack. As the album progresses, you run, hunt, fight, and fuck. You smell the forest, sweat, and blood. In the final song, as you accept your new animal nature, you have it torn away from you as you helplessly watch your animal spirit being drawn and quartered. Amazing experience - 10/10
