    “The music arrives in dusty, amorphous gusts of sound — sometimes revealing a strummed acoustic guitar, sometimes swelling with tremolo strings, sometimes surrounding Monkman with high, delayed vocals — that make every perception sound fragile and precious.” - New York Times

Even if I wasn’t In sight Even if I wasn’t Wrong Even if I couldn’t Write Even if I wasn’t true Even if I came through For you (Chorus) And move with the Tide to the sea And prove all your thoughts to the tide And move with the tide to the sea Prove all your thoughts to the sea (Last verse ) Even if I wasn’t true Even if I came through For you (Last Chorus) And move with the tide to the sea And prove all your thoughts to the tide And move with the tide to the sea Prove all your thoughts to the tide

Feel the tide and The coral reef Sleepless sound of an Oceans sigh Hold on tight To your brothers Bike And you will fall asleep You will fall asleep (Chorus ) Woooo X 4 2nd verse She is near I can Over The whispering sound of A melody And you have come so far away But you will find your home You will find your home ( chorus) Woooo X 4

So many times I’ve heard those same lines I went down Towards the river To ease my mind And drown my sorrows Nothing left for me Just these old memories (Chorus) And live out your youth And all the stars shine fine And keep this close to me And live out your youth Like a dog in the dark On his last bark All dressed in black headed for the mountains Deep dark Forest ahead One foot in the dirt And one foot in the grave And live out your youth And all the stars shine fine And keep this close to me And live out your youth

To the sky And free Can’t change Who we are Don’t leave Let me out Cut me out Become were closer Cut me out Someone once was Cut me out Someone once was Cut me out Someone once was

Can’t look Can’t touch The other side Today Well I’m trying to say So the other side Today We’ll I’m trying to say The other side today The other slips away Can’t look Can’t touch Can’t smell So bad Can’t look Can’t touch Can’t run So bad Can’t look away

about

Zoon's Bekka Ma'iingan is the second full length release on Paper Bag Records out April 28, 2023.

Zoon’s evolution continues to gather momentum since the release of their universally acclaimed 2020 debut Bleached Wavves. Bekka Ma'iigan (Bay-ka Mo-Een-Gan) is the highly anticipated sophomore album from Daniel Monkman, an astonishing sonic landscape that will surprise and transport listeners. Zoon returns with a remarkable album featuring string arrangements from Owen Pallett, and numerous contributors including Michael Peter Olsen, Andrew McLeod (Sunnsetter), special guest Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth) and mixed by Grammy winning producer Mark Lawson.

Bekka Ma'iingan translates directly from Ojibway to 'slow down' and 'wolf'. Zoon has steadfastly woven their Indigenous experience and activism into every fabric of their work. They tackle the intricate issues of the fear of loss of their Ojibway language, and acknowledging their '2-Spirit' identity. The choice to more openly share that side of themselves now, is partly in hope of supporting others who may not feel or be in a safe space to show or be themselves yet.

"This album is about acknowledging a part of me that I felt was there the whole time."
