Stereogum: "Medicine Singers have released a new single today in honor of Indigenous Peoples Day. The group comprises the Eastern Medicine Singers, who sing and drum in the Native American pow wow style, plus guitarist and former Monotonix leader Yonatan Gat. Today’s single “Honor Song” is their first release since last year’s self-titled debut, and it finds them backed by an all-star team of noisy experimental rock veterans. Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth is in there; so are Thor Harris (Water Damage, ex-Swans) plus folks who’ve been part of Fever Ray and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, among others. The result is a formidable storm of sound behind Arthur Red Medicine Crippen’s lead vocal." www.stereogum.com
