Old Unbaptized Realms by Sex Magick Wizards (live version), 1st single from their new album Suola Ja Noaidi released on IsItJazz? Records on September 4, 2026. Sex Magick Wizards is a Norwegian-Sámi quartet blending psychedelic rock, free improvisation and joik into hypnotic, ritualistic soundscapes. The song « Old Unbaptized Realms » is based on an old traditional joik (a traditional form of song in Sámi music) called « Ivgorášša » and is performed with great intensity and ferociousness. The lyrics in the song are partly original by the band and partly from the old Sámi joik « Suola Ja Noaidi » which forms the conceptual base and starting point for the whole album.
Bella Muluk by Naina featuring Las Semilleras (single recorded in Mexico City and independently released on March 15, 2026.
Just as seeds hold memory and the promise of new life in an endless variety of forms, « Las Semilleras » (roughly translated as the Seed Women) embrace a diverse range of creative expressions, from music and movement to the visual arts, to create and share work that germinates and blossoms into new realities rooted in collective care. The song « Bella Muluk » dignifies female cyclical processes and positions them within a network of natural processes necessary for life.
