Though Mali Obomsawin came onto our radar as a member of the indie rock band Deerlady, she's one of those prolific artists who stays active in many corners of the music world. It's called Automatic, it's dropping in October, and its title track is out now. Obomsawin is part of the Abenaki First Nation’s Odanak community in Quebec, and Automatic is billed as her attempt to make a record institutions can't own. Obomsawin worked with Andrew Broder, the producer and turntablist also known as Fog, to blend archival recordings of her Abenaki ancestors in with her own original tracks. You can hear the first fruits of that process by pressing play on "Automatic" below.
