When I'm trying to write lyrics to a song, I just start with whichever language comes to heart, then I go from there. Woven into its structure are songs in French, English, and Inuktitut, plus a few tracks featuring throat singing – where does one thread begin or end when you're writing music? Or does it all get tangled up and you're left to make sense of it? Your next album, My All to You, fully embraces the indie-rock notions of the Fox EP, with a number of people from the Montreal music scene contributing. The video turned out beyond my imagination and expectation. they were so easy-going and it was a pleasure working with them. I am so grateful for the whole team that worked on this project.

And I've also seen their other animated work of Inuit Legends and also admired illustrations on books about Inuit legends by their sister company, Inhabit Media. I approached Taqqut Productions based in Iqaluit to do this music video because I've worked with them as a narrator on a very cool short animated film called The Country of Wolves.

And when the man kept smelling the musky smell of the fox-woman, she kept denying it. What lessons does it teach?īeatrice Deer: The legend is about a fox who transformed into a woman to trick a man into falling in love with her. Lars Gotrich: Can you tell me about the Inuit legend behind "Fox"? Its core is the fox as trickster god, but more importantly it's about lacking empathy.
