Following the release of Polaris Prize-shortlisted 2022 album Sewn Back Together, the duo of Daniel Monkman (Zoon) and Adam Sturgeon (Status/Non-Status) known as OMBIIGIZI have once again teamed up for new music — this time with an assist from July Talk's Peter Dreimanis.
Monkman and Sturgeon describe "Back at Me," their latest to arrive via Arts & Crafts, as "a song that is a lot of fun to play, and we wanted that feeling to be represented in the recording — everyone keeping it simple, singing and jamming out on a whim."
Dreimanis shared, "I love it when friendship is palpable in a recording, when a piece of music laughs with you in a fast-food burger booth and takes you out to catch up on a walk by the river."
He added, "OMBIIGIZI strikes me as a testament to that kind of friendship, and I'm in awe of the sound they make together. We had a blast making this song, and I'm glad it can go out and meet some new friends in the world now."
OMBIIGIZI Have also updated their spring/summer tour plans, mapping out a run of Ontario and Quebec dates that includes headlining stops and festival appearances in Toronto, Windsor, London, Guelph, Tillsonburg, Ottawa, Montreal and Muskoka.
