STRANGE
COUNTRY

Fifteen records tracing migration, miseducation, faith, rage, humor, and the duty to carry culture forward — from Southern Kaduna red dust to an Alberta winter and back again.

The album statement

ONE BODY OF WORK.

Strange Country is sequenced like a journey: the arrival records come first, the reckoning sits in the middle, and the gratitude and hand-off close it out.

Every track has its own page — story, production notes, and lyrics where they exist — so the album can be read as well as heard.

STRANGE COUNTRY. FAMILIAR SPINE.
