Album Review: Nahko And Medicine For The People - Hoka

Wolf howls, tribal chants and voiceovers open the album on the title track before a dramatic change to beautiful piano ballad Directions erupts into a blaze of guitars.

Nahko Bear's vocals are smooth and dreamy, especially in It Is Written as guitars explode, giving it a rock edge before trumpets take over. Make A Change gives off an indie vibe with Zella Days' beautiful soft vocals, while We Are On Time is like a slow country song. It's an impressive and ambitious 19-track album fusing various musical genres and cultural influences to keep everyone happy.
